Geriatrics

The rising number of geriatric patients with complex, chronic, and often multiple health conditions presents numerous policy challenges. RAND has conducted the most comprehensive examination of the quality of medical care provided to the vulnerable elderly and coordinates interdisciplinary research centers to develop and study innovative clinical and health services interventions to improve health care outcomes for geriatric patients.

Research conducted by: RAND Health; RAND Europe; Center for the Study of Aging; Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders (ACOVE)
