Consorci Sanitari del Garraf – CSG (before Fundació Privada Sant Antoni Abat – ABAT)

The Consorci Sanitari del Garraf (CSG) is a non-profit public consortium that has provided health and social services since 1999. Until July 2016 he has carried out his research and innovation projects in health through the Sant Antoni Abat Foundation and the Health care is known by the foundation since the 14th century. Now is the CSG who continues to carry out such projects. It’s located in Garraf Region (151.051 Hab.), in Barcelona province. The CSG is responsible for Garraf’s public health care. This institution has a wide portfolio of health services, among which the geriatrics service stands out. The geriatrics service of CSG is focused on clinical and social care of older people (geriatric patients) and is authorized to train medical doctors specializing in geriatrics medicine since 2006. This hospital has diverse geriatric care levels: Subacute Care Unit, Intermediate Care Unit, Long-term Care Unit, Psycogeriatrics Unit, Day Hospital Unit, Home Geriatric Visiting Unit and Ambulatory Care Unit. Thus, the hospital is able to offer a continued support of care for older people. Also, CSG manage the Consortium for Service to Persons which provides social services. CSG focus on health and social research issues involving vulnerable older people. The consortium can coordinate the delivery of health and social services through its staff. Thus, our main contribution for research projects is carried out through participation as place for field trials and feedback from health and social professional involved in the care of older people to technological partners. The team of the Consorci Sanitari del Garraf, apart from being involved in geriatric care, as reglular staff of the Geriatrics Department, has extensive experience in conducting epidemiological studies on the elderly population and, in collaboration with technological partners, participating in technological research (CAALYX-FP6, eCAALYX-FP7, HELP-AAL and H2020), from its conception through the validation (are also experts in designing clinical trials with technological products).
