Description
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.Back to Session: Poster Symposium 13: Advocacy
