Abstract
Although Geriatric Evaluation Management Units (GEMs) are beneficial to patients, they are still new and their adoption by hospitals is unknown. This study describes the adoption of GEMs in a large sample of hospitals, and explores the reasons underlying hospitals' decisions to open (and sometimes close) an inpatient GEM.Keywords
