Summary

Geriatric Inclusive Art (GIA) painting activity is a new form of art therapy, which has been adapted for older adults hospitalized in medical wards. GIA painting sessions have been associated with a decrease of in-hospital mortality and length of stay, particularly in patients with cognitive impairment. Preservation of a stable health status as well as functionality in activities of daily living of older inpatients is a primary objective of care management, in order to avoid deconditioning, long hospital stays and related higher costs.
