Summary
Some decades ago, comprehensive geriatric assessment was referred to as the “new technology of geriatrics”, as research indicated many benefits of building models of care on assessment systems. Since those times, assessment-care technologies have proliferated, and in many countries have become reference standards. Work, however, continues to extend and expand geriatric assessment programs, as represented in the contents of this book.
