Abstract

Comprehensive geriatric assessment refers to the identification of relevant risks of the elderly through multidisciplinary methods,and then targeted improvement,so as to maximize the maintenance of the functional status of the elderly and improve the quality of life. This paper reviews strategies to improve the effectiveness of comprehensive assessment in elderly patients attending emergency departments,including promoting multidisciplinary collaboration,strengthening training,and developing procedures. Comprehensive assessment is beneficial to early identification and intervention of health risk factors beyond the current chief complaint of elderly patients,but a more efficient and localized comprehensive assessment process for elderly patients in emergency setting still needs to be further improved.
