Framework For Integrated Health Services For The Elderly

Descripción:
Finding efficient and effective ways to care for the elderly is always an important issue, and it is an issue of growing importance in Canada as the baby boom cohort ages. Our health system’s central concern has been acute care, that is, treatment of episodes of illness or injury for a short period of time. However, elderly people often have chronic health issues – problems that are long-term and continuing. They may have more than one chronic condition and may need a variety of health and social support services to help them live well.
