    Purpose The number of older adults attending Emergency Departments (EDs) is increasing rapidly in Italy. This trend poses substantial challenges to services that are not structured to address multidimensional needs. Despite the availability of international guidance, implementation of geriatric emergency care models remains inconsistent in Italy. This study aimed to establish a national, inter-specialty expert consensus on priorities for improving geriatric emergency care.
