Business Tools

The first step for an organization that wants to implement the Hospital Elder Life Program is to convince institutional stakeholders of its value. This involves putting yourself in the position of decision-makers at your institution. HELP is demonstrably effective in preventing delirium but "selling" your administration on the program involves translating this improvement in the quality of care into measures that are meaningful to decision-makers - such as reductions in length of stay or in re-hospitalizations.
