NCT00384709

Brief Summary

Nursing home patients admitted to the hospital pose a significant challenge for health care providers. Geriatric teaching pays particular attention to these admissions and related problems. However, it is yet to be proven, whether geriatric training helps to overcome any of these issues in a better way than through non-geriatric education. The study aims to prove that geriatric training provides advantages over non-geriatric training in caring for nursing home patients admitted to the hospital.
