This article cites a study conducted by researcher N.S. Wenger and colleagues, published in the November 4, 2003 issue of the medical journal "Annals of Internal Medicine," which evaluated the quality of care provided to older patients who are at risk for functional decline. Quality of care varied substantially by condition, being worst for end-of-life care and best for stroke. Care aimed at treating an illness was more likely to meet quality indicator standards than care aimed at follow-up, diagnosis, or prevention. Quality of care was better for general medical conditions than for common geriatric conditions. |
