Geriatric patients in an acute medical ward.

C McArdle, J C Wylie, W D Alexander.   

Abstract

During a nine-month study 160 out of 482 bed-weeks in an acute medical ward were accounted for by 11 patients who no longer needed to be there. This was unsatisfactory both for the 11 patients concerned and for those patients requiring admission for whom the beds were blocked.
