    Abstract:

    The health status and function of the elderly are determined by multiple factors, including aging, comobidities, geriatric syndromes and geriatric problems, and so on. Therefore, it is necessary to carry a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) to evaluate all the problems, and then to implement individualized interventions for these solvable and reversible problems so as to benefit the elderly inpatients. What’s more, it is far from enough to only treat the diseases which cause the main complaints for admission, the health workers should also pay attention to other relative geriatric problems. Patient-centered management by an interdisciplinary geriatric team will be effectively solve health problems, improve the functions and promote quality of life (QOL) for the elderly inpatients.
