Abstract
Emergency care of older adults evolved in an effort to meet the needs of our aging population. The pace of improving the quality and cost-effectiveness of emergency department (ED) care for older adults is accelerating with the development of Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation (GEDA) and research initiatives forged by the Center for Leading Innovation and Collaboration (CLIC) and Geriatric Emergency care Applied Research (GEAR). The innovations of two Missouri EDs are highlighted, including how each approached fall risk and quality improvement efforts for aging populations with multimorbidity. Additional work is needed to accommodate this growing population and implement sustainable solutions.
