Comprehensive Assessment of Older People
Abstract
The important role of comprehensive assessment in recognising the need for and organising often complex care regimes for individual older people is widely accepted. However, the process of carrying out such assessments continues to present challenges to those involved, as it frequently requires people to work in different settings and across professional and agency boundaries. This paper explores the situation in the light of current working practice and policy directives. More work will be needed if small‐scale examples of good practice are to be applied across whole systems.
