Interesting breakdown of ambulance calls in Singapore. Pink bars are calls from older people - reinforcing the idea that ageing population is root cause of crowding. Systems to provide appropriate care to this group are key to future health services.

Many older patients are in the ED not because of dementia but with dementia. This implementation toolkit contains resources, tools & links to evidence that can help you make changes in your ED to provide better care for those patients. Download it here: gedcollaborative.com/toolkit/dement…

With so much polypharmacy, we have to be extra vigilant about drug-disease and drug-drug interactions. Dr. Tat has come up with a nice simplified cheat-sheet approach for us that would make for an easy/frequent reference: emottawablog.com/2024/07/drugs-…
