    Area of Science:

    • Geriatric Medicine
    • Primary Care
    • Preventive Healthcare

    Background:

    • Limited evidence supports annual screening for all older adults.
    • Preventive and anticipatory care components are crucial in primary care.
    • Existing screening tools vary in administration and patient engagement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and pilot a brief anticipatory care system for integration into general practice.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a two-stage screening process.
    • To identify older patients requiring further assessment within a primary care setting.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a brief screening schedule for anticipatory care.
    • Pilot study conducted within routine general practice.
    • Two-stage assessment process: initial screening followed by full assessment if needed.

    Main Results:

    • A brief anticipatory care system was designed and piloted.
    • Approximately 28% (28 out of 102) of screened patients required follow-up assessment.
    • General practitioners found the system easy to administer during regular consultations.

    Conclusions:

    • A brief, integrated anticipatory care system is feasible in primary care.
    • The two-stage screening process efficiently identifies patients needing further evaluation.
    • This approach supports preventive care for older adults within routine practice.
