Learning Objectives
To review the evidence around specialised geriatric assessment in the community
To outline the SMH Geriatric Outreach Program
![Page 3: Specialised Geriatric Services Heather Gilley Sharon Straus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081813/56649f125503460f94c25812/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is a specialised geriatric service? Spectrum of services available including
community-based, ambulatory, acute care, long-term care, rehabilitation
Different models of care Chronic care management focused on frail
elderly

Who does this?
Geriatricians<150 in Canada0.5 geriatricians/10000 Canadians aged 65
and greater10000 in US – but it’s largely a primary care
specialty

What’s the evidence?
RCT of primary prevention of disability (impairment in IADLs or ADLs) or LTC Home admission in community dwelling persons age 75 and older
Carried out mainly by NPs with support of geriatricians Intervention effective in reducing disability and LTC home
admissions
Not targeted to high risk group No effect on acute hospital admissions Intervention group had more MD visits overall
NEJM 1995;324:1184-90.

What’s the evidence?
Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials of community based, multifactorial interventions in elderly people living at home with at least 6 months of follow up
89 trials with 98000 people Decreased risk of:
not living at home RR 0.95 (0.93 to 0.97) LTC admission RR 0.87 (0.83 to 0.90) Hospital admission RR 0.94 (0.91 to 0.97)
No impact on death RR 1.0 (0.97 to 1.02) Lancet 2008;371:725-35

But
Very different Interventions IntensitySite of care
Largest effect sizes seen in studies done prior to 1993!

What’s the evidence?
In a more focused systematic review of randomised trials of older patients in preventive home visit programs
21 studies included Trend for decreased mortality OR 0.92 (0.80 to
1.02) Trend for decreased NH admissions OR 0.86
( 0.68 to 1.1) J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 2008;63A:298-307.

But
Heterogeneity present in Interventions PopulationsCare setting

Summary
Consider targeting patients at high riskLess impact in primary prevention
CGA is a complex interventionWhat are the active ingredients?What’s the dose/formulation?
Follow up on the recommendations made Consider the resources necessary

Data from August 2009-March 2010
251 referrals, 174 new patients seen over 683 visits Reasons not seen: out of catchment, dead, admitted to hospital, patient
refused, needs another type of service Referrals from ED (43), Acute Care (58), Primary care (64) Team involved on average 3.5 weeks Patient profile:
53% have mental health issues – dementia, behaviour problems, delusions/hallucinations, depression, ….
51% moderately or severely frail (5-7/7)using Clinical Frailty Scale 16% do not have a family MD, much higher percentage have a family
MD whom they cannot see 2/3 female
Team MD sees patient about 25% of time Client satisfaction high based on brief 5-item survey

Clinical Frailty Scale
1 – very robust 2 – well – no active disease but less fit than 1 3 – well with treated comorbid disease 4 – apparently vulnerable 5 – mildly frail; limited dependence on others for IADLS 6 – moderately frail; help needed for IADLs and ADLs 7 – severely frail; completely dependent on others,
terminally ill CMAJ 2005;173(5)

Centre for Aging Research and Education
CARE will: Create generalisable knowledge: Develop a research
program to create and evaluate innovative models of generalist and specialty care along the continuum of care and across the transition points
Create capacity: Develop an applied educational research program to create and evaluate innovative models of education for the provision of high quality care
Implement knowledge: Build on existing LKSKI strengths and collaborations to translate the generalisable knowledge to optimise care and transform health systems
![Page 15: Specialised Geriatric Services Heather Gilley Sharon Straus.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081813/56649f125503460f94c25812/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
