5. Challenges and Next Steps: There is no mechanism to automatically tell the health care worker what to do if there is a vulnerability. There is no baseline functional status, prior to the hospital admission. We need a tool that can be used to track the patient�s functional status across the sites of care. We need to develop further collaboration among multiple health systems. Incorporate a mechanism to automatically guide the health care worker what to do. Track the patient�s functional trajectory across the sites of care. Assess the feasibility and the effectiveness of methods to identify seniors at risk , as they move from one site to another. Develop a standardized ACE Tracker software across a network of three health care systems (21 hospitals) in Wisconsin.
