An alternative model in geriatric care

S R Ingman et al. J Am Geriatr Soc. 1979 Jun.

Abstract

An analysis is presented of one long-term care facility's attempt to develop a comprehensive geriatric program including care of the patient in a hospital, a skilled nursing home, a day hospital, or a clinic for care of the ambulatory aged. The goal was to raise issues for debate and discussion, especially in terms of the evolving role of medical directors in long-term care. The need for group professionalism in cooperation with the Board of citizens in community geriatric practice is emphasized.
