Early Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment is a key component of the assessment of older adults presenting to hospital with frailty syndromes, often this is facilitated through Acute Frailty Units. In this paper we describe how using QI methodology we improved access to our Frailty Unit using a digital solution. The impact of this improvement was demonstrated via the reduction in length of stay that these patients experienced compared to patients admitted to General Care of the Older Person wards.
