This paper reviews studies published since 1970 on the quality of medical services received by older persons. Although many of the studies were flawed in design or limited in scope, they suggest that there are problems in the quality of care received by older persons in ambulatory, hospital, and nursing home settings. Changes in health care delivery and financing should attempt to improve, rather than merely maintain, the quality of medical and health services received by this vulnerable population.
本文回顾了自1970年以来发表的关于老年人所接受医疗服务质量的研究。尽管许多研究在设计上存在缺陷或范围有限，但它们表明，老年人在门诊、医院和疗养院环境中所接受的护理质量存在问题。医疗服务提供和融资方面的变革应致力于改善而非仅仅维持这一弱势群体所接受的医疗和健康服务质量。
