Specialized Care

If you or a family member are aged 60 and greater and have suffered a traumatic injury, you will need specialized care which has been specifically developed for you. This program has been shown to increase your chances of survival and decrease your risk of long term disability. This specialized care program is called G60 and is a trauma plan of care for the elderly. Why is specialized care necessary for the G60 trauma population?

  • G60 trauma patients or elderly trauma patient in general have worse outcomes compared to younger patients with the same type and severity of injury.
  • G60 patients also experience more complications from their injuries due to pre-existing medical conditions such as diabetes, renal, cardiovascular and pulmonary disease.
  • Commonly prescribed or over-the-counter medications can mask the vital sign abnormalities or worsen injuries which are normally seen in trauma patients.
