Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Primary Care Medicine
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is recognized for its cost-effectiveness in older adults.
  • However, a standardized approach for implementing CGA within primary care settings is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a best-practice model for geriatric assessment in primary care.
  • To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and cost-effectiveness of the model.

Main Methods:

  • An iterative development process combining expert opinion and stakeholder input.
  • Semi-structured interviews with patients (75+) and practitioners in nine general practices.
  • Implementation of a standardized instrument (EASY-Care) by practice nurses during over-75s health checks.

Main Results:

  • High patient and practitioner acceptability of the CGA model.
  • Significant cost savings identified.
  • Key benefits included mental health assessment, support evaluation, goal-setting, disability scoring, and high patient satisfaction.

Conclusions:

  • Geriatric assessment in primary care is a feasible, economical, and beneficial intervention.
  • Practice nurses play a crucial role in the successful implementation of CGA.
  • The EASY-Care instrument integrated into routine health checks offers a practical model.
