Abstract
In this chapter, we consider how health and social care can best be organized for older people with frailty. We will consider the merits of routine frailty identification, including risk stratification methods, to inform the provision of evidence-based treatment and holistic, goal-oriented care. We will also consider how best to place older people with frailty at the heart of health and social care systems so that the complex challenges associated with this vulnerable group are addressed.
期刊介绍：
At a time when interest in the process of aging is driving more and more research, ''Interdisciplinary Topics in Gerontology and Geriatrics'' offers investigators a way to stay at the forefront of developments. This series represents a comprehensive and integrated approach to the problems of aging and presents pertinent data from studies in animal and human gerontology. In order to provide a forum for a unified concept of gerontology, both the biological foundations and the clinical and sociological consequences of aging in humans are presented. Individual volumes are characterized by an analytic overall view of the aging process, novel ideas, and original approaches to healthy aging as well as age-related functional decline.
