Nursing homes are an important component of the health care system for elderly people, and their importance will grow over the next several decades. Although the care provided in nursing homes is improving, it is far from optimal in many facilities. Improving the process of assessment in the nursing home is critical to improving nursing home care. This article provides a clinically oriented framework for the assessment of nursing home patients. It focuses on medical, nursing, and interdisciplinary assessment strategies for the assessment of nursing home patients and attempts to emphasize the unique and often complex issues that arise in the nursing home setting.
养老院是老年人医疗保健系统的重要组成部分，其重要性在未来几十年还会不断提升。尽管养老院提供的护理服务正在改善，但在许多机构中仍远未达到最佳状态。改善养老院的评估流程对于提高养老院护理水平至关重要。本文提供了一个以临床为导向的养老院患者评估框架。它着重介绍了用于评估养老院患者的医疗、护理及跨学科评估策略，并试图强调在养老院环境中出现的独特且往往复杂的问题。
