Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is a multidimensional, interdisciplinary process designed to evaluate the health and functional capabilities of older adults. It aims to identify medical, psychological, and social issues that may affect their well-being. The assessment typically includes a review of medical history, physical examinations, cognitive evaluations, and assessments of daily living activities.
CGA helps healthcare providers create personalized care plans that address the unique needs of elderly patients. By considering various aspects of an individual's life, including their social support, mental health, and physical health, CGA promotes better health outcomes and enhances the quality of life for older adults.
