Article Synopsis
- Frailty significantly affects elderly care, with a study examining how well clinicians recognize frailty in electronic medical records (EMR) and its impact on advance care planning (ACP).
- The study involved analyzing 119 patients aged 65+ with moderate to severe frailty, revealing that only 12.6% were documented as frail in the EMR, and many had poor health indicators, such as high medication use and low self-rated health.
- The results indicated that patients recognized as frail were more likely to receive geriatric care consults and changes in resuscitation status, highlighting the need for better frailty assessment in order to improve patient-centered care.
