One of the early steps in the development and implementation of a care coordination program designed to improve the hospital's response to the elderly population of a small, rural hospital was the identification of those elders at "high risk" of institutionalization or who used costly services. This process involved data collection over a 2-year period from multiple entry points into the hospital care delivery system. The subsequent emergency database is used to disseminate patient-centered information to staff, rather than episode-centered. The hospital's efforts are described, giving both methods and results.
