AB Populations  are  aging  worldwide.  This  demographic  shift  will  dominate  the  social,  political  and  public  health  landscape  of  the  21st  century.  The  medical  and  social  science  literature  is  replete  with  commentaries  and  interventions  designed  to  address  the  magnitude  and  consequences  of  this  phenomenon.  Many  of  these  opinions  and  discoveries  have  led  to  improvements  in  medical  and  social  care  for  older  adults  and  their  caregivers.  Such  advances  have  addressed  diverse  areas  of  care,  including  transitions  in  medical  care,  medication  prescribing  practices,  fall  reduction,  pain  and  symptom  control,  and  decreasing  caregiver  burden,  to  name  just  a  few.
