Abstract Title:
From Acute Public Hospital Care to Transitional and Progressive Care Models for Vulnerable Older Adults in ArgentinaBiography:
Dr. Marly Hernandez Troncoso is a geriatrician and family physician in Argentina, and Dr. Vanesa Amaro is a geriatrician and psychiatrist. Both have clinical and managerial experience in vulnerable older adult care, transitional care, long-term care facilities, and comprehensive geriatric assessment. Their work focuses on continuity of care, frailty, multimorbidity, functional decline, dependency, caregiver support, and the design of interdisciplinary person-centered care models for older adults requiring integrated clinical, functional, and social support following acute hospitalization.
Research Interests:
Transitional care models embedded in public hospitals can reduce avoidable prolonged admissions, prevent hospitalization-associated complications, preserve autonomy, support caregivers, and optimize scarce public resources — offering a replicable, person-centered response to the growing care gap for vulnerable older adults in Argentina
