Abstract

This paper reports on the development of an innovative project-the Older Persons’ Outreach and Support Team’ (OPOST) – within University Hospital of Southampton’s Emergency Department. The achievements of this Team are benchmarked against the ‘quality, innovation, productivity, prevention’ (QIPP) agenda. The demographic changes resulting in the UK’s ageing patient population are also discussed in this context.
