Home visits have a long history in geriatrics. In this narrative review, the literature on home visits performed by specialists in geriatric medicine (or psychiatry) and/or specialized programs in geriatric medicine (or psychiatry) published between January 1988 and December 2008 was examined. The papers reviewed were few and inconsistent in their message. The lessons that can be derived from them are limited. Draft recommendations about the role of home visiting by specialized geriatric programs in Canada are presented.
家访在老年医学领域有着悠久的历史。在这篇叙述性综述中,我们研究了1988年1月至2008年12月期间发表的有关老年医学(或精神病学)专家和/或老年医学(或精神病学)专业项目进行家访的文献。所审查的论文数量不多,且信息不一致。从中可以汲取的经验教训有限。本文还提出了关于加拿大老年医学专业项目家访作用的建议草案。
