Abstract
With the aging of the US population and increase in older adults requiring medical care across multiple settings, there has been greater interest in the dissemination and implementation of geriatric emergency care programs. The conceptual model of geriatric emergency departments (GEDs) was first proposed in 2007,1 when no such designation existed. The first GED accreditation program was created in 2018 by the American College of Emergency Physicians to recognize hospitals for higher levels of geriatric emergency care; there are now more than 170 accredited GEDs around the world.2Keywords
