title = "Comprehensive geriatric care in a day hospital: A demonstration of the british model in the United States",
abstract = "A geriatric day hospital (GDH) was developed in a community hospital to meet the complex medical and social needs of the frail elderly. A review of medical records (n = 273) and interviews with referring physicians (n = 42 on 96 patients) revealed that the GDH provided intensive outpatient care, geriatric assessment, rehabilitation, and an alternative to hospitalization. In all, 21\% of physician-referred patients would have been hospitalized without the GDH, 7\% would have had longer hospital stays, and care would have been deferred for 18\%.",
