Geriatric Home-Based Medical Care: Principles and Practice, 2nd Edition by Jessica L. Colburn, Bruce Leff, Mariah L. Robertson, and Mattan Schuchman, focuses on healthcare delivery for older adults who receive medical care in their homes and communities. An original study companion can help learners review fundamental principles, clinical considerations, and practical approaches associated with home-based geriatric care.
The resource can support study of comprehensive geriatric assessment, functional and cognitive considerations, chronic disease management, medication review, patient safety, care planning, communication, social determinants of health, and coordination among healthcare professionals and caregivers. It can also help learners understand the distinctive challenges of providing medical services outside traditional clinical settings.
Students can use the material alongside assigned textbook chapters, lectures, clinical education, instructor materials, and independent study. Reviewing terminology, comparing care approaches, and applying concepts to hypothetical patient situations can strengthen clinical reasoning and critical-thinking skills.
The resource is particularly appropriate for students and professionals studying medicine, nursing, geriatrics, home healthcare, primary care, social work, physician assistant studies, and related healthcare disciplines. It can help learners develop a patient-centered understanding of the complex medical, functional, social, and environmental factors that influence care for older adults at home.
