A startling proportion of older people report that they’ve experienced discrimination: 63 percent, in a study recently published in Research on Aging. The most commonly cited cause? “Thirty percent report being mistreated because of their age,” said the lead author Ye Luo, a Clemson University sociologist. Perceived discrimination because of gender, race or ancestry, disabilities or appearance followed in smaller proportion" http://newoldage.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/12/age-discrimination-takes-its-toll/ Categories, related: Alzheimers Disease, Chronic Illnesses, Gender Discrimination, Geriatric Associations, Geriatrics Humor, Geriatrics Nurses, Geriatrics Resources, Hospice, End of Life Care, Long Term Care (LTC), Vulnerable Adults ****************************************************** Carol J.

"Hospitals are under the gun for patient satisfaction, and nurses often have the most interaction with patients during their hospital stay, greatly affecting satisfaction," says Karlene Kerfoot, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, vice president of nursing for API Healthcare, a healthcare workforce technology company that delivers data driven staffing and talent solutions as well as business analytics. Additionally, having long-term, experienced nurses helps hospitals provide higher quality care."
