Promoting Geriatric Care: Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, Frailty and Resilience
This special issue belongs to the section "Aging".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A Special Issue entitled Promoting Geriatric Care, in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, is being organized.
Geriatrics is a growing and flourishing field of medicine. Considering the population ageing, knowledge supporting the quality of geriatric care is essential. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is considered one of the fundamental geriatric competencies. How is CGA incorporated in successful services for geriatric patients and innovative models of care? What do we know about frailty and resilience, and how can this be used for real-life geriatric patients? How can bridging different fields of medicine and combining geriatric and other medical competencies contribute to the best outcomes for older patients?
This Special Issue is dedicated to the subject area of geriatrics, reflecting the importance of functional status of geriatric population for public health. For detailed information on the journal, please see https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph. The keywords listed below provide an outline of some of the possible areas of interest.
