What is Working with your older patient : a clinician's handbook about?

This handbook is aimed at two audiences. It offers physicians in-training and other health care professionals an introduction to needed communication skills in dealing with older patients and their families, and it provides both a review and continuing education for more experienced clinicians. The handbook describes and explains issues pertinent to older patients, and suggests practical techniques and approaches to facilitate diagnosis, promote adherence to treatment, make more efficient use of clinicians' time, and increase both patient and provider satisfaction. While this handbook presents some common themes about older patients, it is important to stress the diversity of aging America. The average doctor will see many healthy and independent older patients, as well as some who are frail. We hope that the techniques offered here encourage you to view older people as individuals, with a wide range of health care needs and questions
