g and Health Care
A 6 page discussion of the health care system as it addresses the elderly patient. The number of elderly patients in our population is increasing at a phenomenal rate. Our health care system, however, does not always address the needs of those patients in the most exemplary manner. The relationship between aging, quality of health care, and even health care utilization is integrally tied to a number of societal factors. These factors include cultural differences, our perceptions regarding the elderly, and even politics and the economy. Utilizes information gleaned in an interview with an elderly patient to reiterate these concerns. Bibliography lists 6 sources
