Area of Science:

  • Geriatrics
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Independent and socially isolated elders with multiple health problems present significant challenges in healthcare.
  • These patients often require intensive follow-up, frequent physician visits, and recurrent hospitalizations.

Observation:

  • Physicians face difficulties managing complex elder care due to patient isolation and multiple comorbidities.
  • Existing healthcare models may not adequately address the intensive, ongoing needs of frail elders.

Findings:

  • Geriatric care managers (GCMs) offer a structured approach to elder care.
  • GCMs conduct comprehensive needs assessments, develop optimal care plans, and manage information and supportive services.

Implications:

  • Implementing GCM services can alleviate physician burden and improve care for vulnerable elders.
