Geriatrics Screening and Assessment
Geriatric screening and assessment allows clinicians to care for older patients in an efficient, patient-centered manner. This framework includes standard screening questions that may trigger the use of standard geriatric assessment tools and/or other interventions. Additionally, it serves to complement the history and physical examination, and is critical for maximizing the health, function, safety, and quality of life of older patients.
