Connecting consumers to reliable health care information or health care providers can be challenging for any institution. At the current time, there are two popular methods that allow consumers to access health care. One method to obtain reliable health-related information is through an electronic web-based resource.

This was the second time coming back to the nursing home visit. I was excited that I get to chat with the resident again. My resident was eating breakfast when I walked into the room and she had no idea that I was coming back that day. I got very anxious because she might not want to be bothered, but I was wrong. She was very welcoming and happy that I came back to visit. We had long conversations about her life and new things that came up since the last time we met. I also did an assessment on my resident this time around since I was not able to during our last visit. I explained the whole process to her while doing the assessment and make sure she knows everything that I am doing. Compared to the first visit, I was much more comfortable.

I visited Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare- Terrace St. Francis on June 5, 2015 and I observed a new geriatric patient, who is female and 81 years old. She fell on the ground and has a left hip fracture and an open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), but the therapist and I did not know how this happened to her because she has dementia, and did not remember when the therapist asked her or her sister, who is the only person responsible for the patient, was not with her during the session.

Purpose: Comprehensive Geriatric assessment (CGA) provides in-depth evaluation of morbidity and mortality of geriatric patients and can be an effective tool in assessment of pre-transplant patients. A CGA requires hours to administer, additional time and personnel to obtain results, consultation with a geriatrician and multiple visits for result discussion and intervention. An electronic geriatric assessment (eGA) can offer a more complete and accurate assessment of deficits in a time efficient manner. We assess feasibility of incorporation of an electronic GA with real-time instrument scoring into cancer clinic.
