Highlights of the Canadian Frailty Network (CFN) Highly Qualified Personnel Poster Session

The winners from each category represent the outstanding scholarly contributions to frailty research being undertaken by our HQP, and are representative of the breadth of topics with which they engage: * Outstanding poster by a Summer Student was awarded to Karl Grewal from the University of Victoria for the poster "A Community Choir to Facilitate Psychosocial and Cognitive Health for Caregivers and Persons with Dementia". * Outstanding poster by an Interdisciplinary Fellow was awarded to Elaine Moody from Dalhousie University for the poster "Exploring the Needs and Associated Out-ofPocket Expenses of Older People Living with Frailty who Wish to Age-in-Place". * Outstanding poster presented by a trainee on a CFNFunded Project was awarded to Abe Hafid from McMaster University for the poster "Advance Care Planning: Building Capacity in Interprofessional Primary Care Teams". Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we assessed HRU within 60 days following the index admission of eligible patients (admitted >48 hours to a medical ward and an Assessment Urgency Algorithm Score of 5 or 6, i.e., frail) enrolled into the SICP or who received usual care. Background: e-INTERACT, a set of tools for long-term care homes (LTCHs) in the United States, proactively identifies frail residents at risk of Emergency Department (ED) transfers and health status decline, to reduce potentially avoidable hospitalizations associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality.
