Working group recommendations: targeting criteria for geriatric evaluation and management research. Abstract Text:

To maximize the cost effectiveness of geriatric evaluation and management (GEM) programs, criteria need to be established for selecting patients most likely to benefit. A working group was convened to define appropriate patient selection (targeting) criteria for each type of GEM program and to consider research questions for future targeting studies. The group outlined targeting criteria for the spectrum of GEM program types and locations. GEM program types included: inpatient GEM units; hospital geriatric consultation service; GEM programs in nursing homes; outpatient GEM programs for functionally impaired persons; and geriatric community outreach/screening programs for functionally independent elders. For each program type, the group outlined targeting criteria based on current literature and experience. Because research has not yet established the effectiveness of many of these patient targeting strategies, the group drafted a set of research questions, pertinent to targeting, that require attention: (1) For each identifiable population of elderly people, who are most likely to benefit from GEM? (2) How should these people best be identified/targeted? (3) What criteria should be used for targeting? (4) How and how often should population screening be performed to identify persons in need of GEM?
