Most Hospital Visits of Impaired, Terminal Nursing Home Residents Are Avoidable
 In one of the largest studies of its kind, researchers found that up to 80% of emergency department visits and more than one-third of hospitalizations in severely impaired and terminally ill nursing home residents were potentially avoidable. Common causes included UTIs, pneumonia, feeding tube complications, falls, and seizures - many preventable with timely, on-site care. These unnecessary transfers not only distress vulnerable patients and families but also drive-up health care costs, contributing to $14.3 billion in annual Medicare spending.
