This chapter provides an overview of geriatric assessment instruments. We begin by briefly describing some of the basic psychometric attributes that should guide the use of any instrument. Next, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different types of instruments. Finally, we end with a review, arranged by functional domain, of some useful instruments. The emphasis is on those instruments that are easy for a single healthcare provider to apply in the outpatient setting.
