Geriatric Assessment and Management

Geriatric Assessment and Management in Geriatric Emergency Medicine involves a thorough evaluation of older patients when they arrive at the emergency room. This process looks at their medical history, cognitive abilities, emotional well-being, and physical health to understand their unique needs. The goal is to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses not just their immediate medical issue, but also factors like mobility, medication management, and support systems. By focusing on the whole person, healthcare providers aim to enhance recovery, prevent complications, and improve overall quality of life for older adults.
