Moore A, et al. - Using semi-structured interviews, researchers performed a qualitative study to investigate attitudes of general practitioners (GPs) in the United Kingdom towards referring older patients with suspected infection to the hospital, how they weigh up the decision to admit against the alternatives, and how alternatives to admission could be made more effective. Results of this study suggested that GPs need to be empowered to make safe decisions about place of care for older adults with suspected infection. This may mean developing strategies to support decision making as well as improving the ease of access to, and capacity of, any alternatives to admission. However, finding an alternative to admission could be more time consuming, complex to arrange, or restricted by lack of capacity.
