This volume focuses on understanding the impact of age-related
decline in cognitive abilities on medical decisions and compliance
with medical instructions. It examines how medical information and
the medical environment can be restructured to accommodate the
decreased cognitive function associated with aging. Although the
issues discussed in this book are of critical importance in
providing effective health care, they have been largely neglected
in the national debate over provision of health care for the
increasingly aging population. It is essential that we begin to
understand how to present information so that informed choices are
made and patients comprehend well enough that they can follow their
treatment regimens and understand the importance of those regimens.
Divided into four major sections, this volume addresses the
following issues: * the implications of cognitive aging for medical
information processing; * aging and medical decision making; *
aging and medication adherence; and * human factors design for
medical devices and instructions.
