Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment

To create a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment template for managing comorbidities or identifying the need for transitional care, healthcare professionals can access this free and downloadable template with included sections for physical examination, mental health, and functional ability.

These valuable plan templates can be used at any point in the treatment journey for a geriatric patient with primary care concerns or requiring a systematic review. Primary care physicians and other members of the patient's health care team may instigate the use of this template.

Healthcare professionals use these assessments to assess, track, and monitor elderly patients and address their functional status. The full comprehensive geriatric assessment helps to ensure better health outcomes. It can be used in settings such as acute care hospitals, for community-dwelling older persons, or by the patient's primary care physician.
