Introduction to person centered care and the role of the interdisciplinary team in managing older adults with complex needs. Care of older adults has been fragmented and disease based, leading to increased dissatisfaction and increased episodes of utilization. A senior will see 14 different doctors and get prescribed 50 different medications in one year without proper access to care coordination. Older adults are challenged with not only chronic diseases but also geriatric syndromes such as dementia, falls, delirium and functional decline. Their social environment is an essential part of their care and in the current model of care it is rarely addressed. The answer is to address the person first and the diagnosis second, delivering a holistic approach to care that encompasses all aspects of the person’s life, delivered by a team rather than a single provider. The Center for Successful Aging model of care is based on this vision and has shown success in increasing patient’s satisfaction, improving quality of life and reducing health care utilization.
