Aging together with multimorbidity, polymedication and various social factors are some of the determinants that lead to increasing complexity of care in the elderly, thus making it difficult for health systems to meet their needs. To approach this new and growing scenario of care for the elderly, the formal health and social care systems must define specific jobs for geriatric nursing specialists trained to address the needs of older people from a perspective of comprehensive care, both for healthy aging, and for the different health problems of this population group, characterized by the consequences of aging and chronicity, towards dependence, and develop the powers established by law in the framework of an interdisciplinary team, for those who have been trained and accredited, thus adding value to the response that health systems have to provide for this growing problem of the 'aging-chronicity-dependence' triad.
衰老、多种疾病并存、多种药物治疗以及各种社会因素是导致老年人护理日益复杂的一些决定因素，从而使卫生系统难以满足他们的需求。为应对这一针对老年人的全新且不断增长的护理情况，正规的卫生和社会护理系统必须为老年护理专家界定特定工作，这些专家经过培训，能从全面护理的角度满足老年人的需求，既包括健康老龄化方面，也包括该人群因衰老和慢性病后果、走向依赖而产生的不同健康问题，在跨学科团队框架内为那些经过培训并获得认可的人员赋予法定权力，从而提升卫生系统对“衰老 - 慢性病 - 依赖”这一不断增长问题所提供应对措施的价值。
