- Title
Clinical Care in the Aging Century--Announcing "Care of the Aging Patient: From Evidence to Action"
- Authors
Landefeld, C. Seth; Winker, Margaret A.; Chernof, Bruce
- Abstract
The authors discuss the relevance of the publication's new series, Care of the Aging Patient: From Evidence to Action, which addresses the problem of the unreadiness of the U.S. health care workforce to deliver the best care to older patients. They present an overview of two articles on the structure of current medical practice, as well as policies needed to support good practices. The authors also cite the satisfaction brought by care of older patients to their physicians.
