AB Geriatric  assessment  is  a  broad  term  that  describes  a  clinical  approach  to  older  patients  that  goes  beyond  a  traditional  medical  history  and  physical  exam  to  include  functional,  social,  and  psychological  domains  that  affect  well-being  and  quality  of  life.  Although  geriatric  assessment  has  been  adapted  to  different  settings,  structures,  and  models  of  care,  4  key  concepts  inform  the  approach:  the  clinical  site  of  care,  prognosis,  patient  goals,  and  functional  status.
