Target Audience and Needs

Geriatricians, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and health professionals in related disciplines need to receive regular updates on innovations in geriatric care independent of end-of-life care.  The series aims to optimize the care of older adults who have multiple chronic conditions by demonstrating how documented patient priorities can align with available therapies, diagnostics, and self-care recommendations.  The series also aims is to expand clinical knowledge, increase competence, inform clinical decision-making, enhance the quality of geriatric care, and improve patient outcomes.

• Use a real-life example to describe how Patient Priorities Care is implemented in clinical care settings.
