Geriatric Assessment Counselling in Chennai
Geriatric
Geriatrics is the branch of medicine that focuses on the health of elderly patients. The main goals of geriatrics are to treat and prevent illness, disability, or other health issues in older people and to promote the general health of older people. GEIATRICIANs are physicians specially trained to assess and manage the unique health care needs and treatment preferences of older adults.
ย
Geriatrics is known for its team approach to caring for older adults and supporting their families and other caregivers. The focus is always on maintaining function and improving quality of life. Team members consider the medical, social, emotional, and other needs of the older person and develop a care plan for that person. A person’s preferences and values โโare always taken into consideration when creating a care plan. The team will focus on health problems common to older adults, such as incontinence, falls, memory problems, and managing some chronic diseases and medications.
What Is Geriatric Assessment Counselling?
The Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is an iterative, collaborative, multidimensional framework and assessment process used to evaluate the condition of people with frailty. These people often have complex, multiple, interdependent problems (multi-morbidity), making them more difficult to care for than younger people or those with only one medical problem. This process is considered the best way to assess the health status and care needs of older people.
ย
The characteristics of CGA (and how it differs from standard assessment) are:
- Emphasize quality of life, functional conditions; the weather; and the results – depth and breadth.
- Use an interdisciplinary team and any number of standardized instruments to assess aspects of patient function, impairment, and social support.
