tailieunhanh - Health Inequalities: Report, together with formal minutes

Not every physician chooses to focus on caring for disabled elders. Physicians who work with this population must value chronic medical and disability care and be able to work closely with the patient, family, caregivers and other professionals to provide the best care. There are also physiological differences in the elderly population that must be taken into account in treating and prescribing medications. Some health centers may be lucky to have on staff some of the scarce group of physicians who are sub-boarded in geriatric medicine. Others will have internists or family practitioners providing care to the disabled. | House of Commons Health Committee Health Inequalities Third Report of Session 2008-09 Volume I Report together with formal minutes Ordered by the House of Commons to be printed 26 February 2009 HC 286-I Incorporating HC 422-i to vii Session 2007-08 Published on 15 March 2009 by authority of the House of Commons London The Stationery Office Limited The Health Committee The Health Committee is appointed by the House of Commons to examine the expenditure administration and policy of the Department of Health and its associated bodies.
