Team, occupational therapist and geriatrician

Abstract

Older adults have multi-factorial problems and needs, which require an interdisciplinary teamwork. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is an effective multidimensional, interdisciplinary, and coordinated approach to evaluate the bio-psycho-social domains. The role of the occupational therapist within the team is critical, because this figure adds specific information about the person and the environment, as well as a participatory approach to patient care.
