This book offers an up-to-date review on the principles and
practice of multidimensional assessment and management of the older
individual, which represents the cornerstone of modern clinical
practice in the elderly. The early chapters cover the main elements
and scope of the comprehensive geriatric approach and explain the
pathways of care from screening and case finding through to
in-depth assessment and treatment planning. Subsequent chapters
review the evidence of how best to apply the multidimensional
assessment and management approach in defined healthcare settings
and within specific clinical areas, such as cancer and surgery.
Finally, the education and training challenges are reviewed and the
prospects for future clinical service and research in this
important field are examined. The book is very timely given the
recent advances in application of this approach, which reflect the
growing international realization that older people are "core
business" in many clinical areas where the role of specialist
geriatric medicine has hitherto been limited. Accordingly, the book
will be relevant to a wide range of clinicians. The authorship
comprises many of the best known and widely published experts in
their respective fields.
