Our Impact
Outcomes
Our most recent evaluation is entitled: “Senior PharmAssist: Less Hospital Use with Enrollment in an Innovative Community-Based Program,” and is published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Volume 66, 2018.
Primary outcome measures were self-reported emergency department (ED) visits and hospital admissions, assessed every 6 months for 2 years. We found a significant decrease in the mean number of ED visits (0.83 visits/year to 0.53 visits per year), the percentage of participants reporting ED visits (49% to 31%), and mean hospital admissions (0.56/year to 0.4/year). These changes represent an overall decrease in hospital use by one third after two years with us.
Please let us know if you would like a copy of that article or any of our other publications.
These outcomes support our belief that treating each participant as a unique individual with specific attributes and challenges, and serving as an integral part of their healthcare team has a tremendous positive impact.
