Posters will be displayed on large boards and have a table underneath for accompanying materials. The session will be introduced by a moderator, poster authors will be asked to provide a very brief introduction of their poster, and then attendees will be free to move about the room to speak with poster presenters directly for the remainder of the session.

Persons with intellectual and other developmental disabilities (PWIOD) have higher rates of acute care hospitalizations. During these hospitalizations they experience more complications and poorer outcomes. Therefore, we studied the demographics, incidence, and outcomes for PWIOD during hospitalization in a university hospital. Study results indicated potential safety concerns. The implications include a need for enhanced partnerships with families to develop training and care coordination.
