A Casefinding and Referral System for Older Veterans Within Primary Care

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Depression, Incontinence, Cognitive Impairment

In brief

Underdiagnosis and undertreatment of elderly persons remains a widespread problem. While many innovative geriatric care programs exist within VHA, we still lack a systematic process for identifying at-risk elders from the larger VA population who are likely to benefit from specialized geriatric services.
