Geriatric Evaluation and Management (GEM)

Geriatric Evaluation and Management (GEM) is a specialized approach to healthcare for older adults. It involves a comprehensive assessment of their medical, psychological, and social needs to create a personalized care plan. The goal is to improve the patient’s overall health, quality of life, and independence while addressing multiple health issues often faced by seniors. GEM teams, typically including doctors, nurses, and social workers, work collaboratively to ensure better coordination of care, manage chronic conditions, and support the patient and their family in making informed health decisions.
