Abstract
The process of disciplined identification of common geriatric syndromes and risks in targeted individuals with careful prescription of preventives and treatments would seem, at face value, a logical response to a growing population of frail older patients in acute care hospitals. Yet, the evidence that such an approach produces measurable improvements in patient outcomes remains extremely limited, other than in the context of designated geriatric units.
