AGS has just released the Geriatrics Virtual Patient Case Modules for Surgical and Related Medical Sub-Specialties (VPCs). The Geriatrics VPCs include 9 cases focused on the geriatrics aspects of surgical and related medical subspecialty care of older adults, developed to help diplomates gain a better understanding of the common challenges that can arise in this population.
The 2018 AGS Annual Scientific Meeting has concluded and was a great success in providing the latest information on clinical care, research on aging, and innovative models of care delivery. But even though the meeting is over, the knowledge isn't! Subscribers to GeriatricsCareOnline have free access to handouts from the Annual Meeting for one year. Check them out today!
With support from The John A. Hartford Foundation, the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) today launched ortho.agscocare.org, a site providing resources and tools for hospitals interested in implementing the AGS CoCare: Ortho model. By helping health systems integrate geriatric and orthopedic expertise as soon as possible, AGS CoCare: Ortho seeks to improve care and lower health costs for the 260,000 older adults hospitalized annually with hip fractures.
