WHAT. To review the consequences of siloed health care for older adults. The percentage of Canadians over age 75 is increasing.

WHY. To discuss why frailty necessitates cross- specialty collaborative models of care. A comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a multidimensional, interdisciplinary diagnostic process to determine the medical, psychological, and functional capabilities of a frail elderly person in order to develop a coordinated and integrated plan for treatment and long-term follow-up BMJ 2019;364:l13 }}ggeriatriceriatric assessmentassessment }}CGACGA Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2017; CD006211.

You are invited

TO COFFEE WITH TRAUMA. HALLWAY CONVERSATIONS TO FOLLOW. Shared Vision.

To be a LEADER in the care of older adults with traumatic injury. Engagement.

GRASSROOTS APPROACH

The passion has to come from the FRONTLINE from both sides of the field. Policy. Symmetrical Representation.

Trauma: surgeon, two nurse practitioners, quality assurance specialist : geriatrician, clinical nurse specialist, research trainees Communication.

• Electronic consultation notes and orders • Verbal communication • Weekly interdisciplinary rounds Setting. Trust.

TRUST

There must be mutual respect for one another’s domain of expertise. Consistency.
