AB  - According  to  the  US  Census,  the  number  of  people  in  the  United  States  aged  65  and  older  will  nearly  double  between  2012  and  2050.  Today,  46  million  Americans  are  over  the  age  of  65,  making  up  13%  of  the  total  population.  With  10,000  people  turning  65  every  day,  there  are  unique  challenges  changing  the  health  care  environment.  Proportionally,  there  will  be  more  adults  living  in  the  oldest  ages  (age  85+),  as  well  as  a  shift  in  the  ethnic  and  racial  composition,  with  an  increase  in  the  proportion  of  Hispanic  and  nonwhite  older  adults.  Consequently,  there  is  expected  to  be  a  200%  rise  in  the  demand  for  health  care  services,  with  an  estimated  70%  of  older  adults  likely  needing  long-term  care  at  some  point.  This  changing  landscape  presents  an  urgent  opportunity  to  redesign  health  systems  to  meet  the  complex  needs  affecting  patients,  families,  and  society.
