What is it?
GeriGuides was created as an online, interactive resource developed by content specialists that provides structured clinical approaches, expert medical knowledge, and consensus-based treatment recommendations to the general clinician at the point of patient care.
What are the goals of GeriGuides?
1. Standardize the approach to, evaluation and treatment of geriatric syndromes.
2. Facilitate the efficient evidence-based learning of geriatric syndromes to medical learners.
3. Improve quality of care to older adults by all clinicians.
How does it work?
GeriGuides allows you to get as much or as little information as you need in an efficient way by providing 3 layers of information:
1. What do I do?: The flowchart is a quick, structured approach that walks you through a clinical problem.
2. How do I do it?: Clicking on each flowchart box will show a pop up with supporting, contextual information.
3. Why do I do it?: Clicking for more info will take you to a page with detailed information and links to the scientific literature for expanded review
