This source, a Tufts University comprehensive geriatric assessment, provides an interesting overview of what the author views to be negative aspects of, and the general plight of health care and medical treatment for geriatric patients in the U.S., along with several main factors that are deemed responsible for the less than desirable care provided to older patients. This assessment contains a large body of areas or items, pertaining to the providing of medical care to our elderly, which had been targeted for study and evaluation. The purpose of this assessment is to point out that there is a large and variable number of complicated and complex medically related issues, for which it is crucial to address, in order to facilitate better and successful treatment, and increased disease and disability prevention for older Americans—medically related issues (and good communication too), which the journal article’s author believes are inadequately addressed or overlooked altogether.

This is a well-written and in-depth article that argues that the main role of health care services (especially in future years) for healthy aging strategies, is to foster better progress regarding the prevention and management of chronic diseases. It is a generally known fact that many affluent or high income countries are facing an impending vast increase in the aging of their populations. It is also a generally known fact that older individuals suffer from a greater prevalence of chronic diseases. Though the

It is a generally known fact that many affluent or high income countries are facing an impending vast increase in the aging of their populations. It is also a generally known fact that older individuals suffer from a greater prevalence of chronic diseases. Though the author of the article states that many details of the consequences remain unclear, there is a wide consensus that the prevention and management of chronic diseases will come to dictate the undertakings of available health care services. This projection, according to the article’s author, is expected to create a major shift in how health care is delivered to members of aging populations. This article utilizes gathered evidence to explore a number of possible repercussions for holding such a point of view. I believe that each reference I have chosen is peer reviewed based upon the following. First, I purposefully searched for references that can be considered peer reviewed in or at the University of Phoenix Online Library. I typed into the search bar—“peer reviewed articles on managing the health care needs of an aging population research study.” Next, I was careful to choose references that are considered to be journal articles having to do with managing the health care needs of an aging population. It is my belief that works appearing in scholarly journals (including medical and health care journals) are works (articles, papers, studies, etc…) that have been reviewed by the peers of the authors of such works.
