| Annotation | Despite the popularity of geriatric day hospital (GDH) programmes over the last decade, little is known about their effectiveness. As the result of a previous study, it is now possible to quantify the benefit of a geriatric day hospital based on functional autonomy changes. This cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is based on a sample of 151 patients at the geriatric day hospital programme at the Sherbrooke Geriatric University Institute in the Province of Quebec, Canada. The results showed that the benefits of a geriatric day hospital programme exceeded the costs. (RH). |
