Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The increasing activity of emergency departments, coupled with a decrease in the number of hospital beds, is leading to operational changes, of which the Short-Stay Unit (UHCD) is one example. Initially designed for stays of less than 24 hours, it now finds itself providing supplementary hospitalization for downstream services, which is detrimental to the most vulnerable elderly patients.
