Comprehensive Assessment of Triggers for Elderly Patients (CATEP)

The Comprehensive Assessment of Triggers for Elderly Patients (CATEP) is a method used by healthcare providers to identify specific factors or situations that may cause health issues or worsening symptoms in older adults. It involves a thorough review of an elderly person's medical history, daily routines, environment, and social factors to pinpoint potential triggers. By understanding these triggers, clinicians can develop targeted strategies to prevent health problems, improve the patient's overall well-being, and tailor care plans to individual needs. CATEP aims to promote safety and quality of life for elderly individuals through personalized intervention.
