La prise en charge médicale de la personne âgée

Caring for elderly patients is a complex process involving a certain number of outside factors-type of aging, multiple medications, dependency - implying specific approaches. It is also common to see all of these factors interacting together during an acute episode, leading to cascading decompensation. To best prevent these risks by implementing preventive measures, geriatric evaluation is proposed to establish a patient-centered management scheme correctly adapted to each individual's specific situation and allowing daily life activities under the best possible conditions, preserving autonomy as much as possible.
