Care transitions happen when an individual moves from one setting or location of care to another. These transitions can put older adults at risk for health issues, including malnutrition, but planning can help ensure that older adults and caregivers have the resources they need to transition safely.
Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is defined as a multidisciplinary diagnostic and treatment process that identifies medical, psychosocial, and functional limitations of a frail older person in order to develop a coordinated plan to maximize overall health with aging [1,2].
What are the COA measures? The Care for Older Adults (COA) measures evaluate the percentage of adults 66 years old and older who had each of the following during the measurement year: Advance Care Planning,* Functional Status Assessment,** Medication Review and Pain Screening.
The geriatric assessment is a multidimensional, multidisciplinary assessment designed to evaluate an older persons functional ability, physical health, cognition and mental health, and socioenvironmental circumstances.
The functional assessment of older persons includes evaluation of daily activities, cognition, continence, special senses, mobility, and specific psychosocial issues.
