Geriatric Care Model
First, older adults complete the Geriatric screen for OLder adults receiving Dialysis (GOLD), a battery of validated, self-administered geriatric screening instruments, used to identify Geriatric 5M-related problems. Then, a research team with geriatrics expertise leads patient prioritization of GOLD-identified problems in a telehealth visit and provides the dialysis team with guideline-directed, individualized recommendations for geriatric problem management.
