Why other physicians can’t match Geriatrician skills?
Geriatricians are specialized in geriatric care, and understand that seniors needs are different than average age adults, and present unique challenges that require specific attentive care, that several physicians are not trained for. By taking the time needed to work through the health concerns aging seniors have, Geriatricians can provide patients with the optimal care they need other physicians usually can’t match.
Essentials skills include:
They are trained in aging-related physiological changes and clinical syndromes.
They have training in team-based care and systems of care for older adults.
They have a clinical focus on functional status and a holistic approach to managing health. This means they share decision making with the patient.
They understand seniors lose some of the mechanisms that help systems adapt to changes and stress, that can make medications react differently and make them agitate more easily.
