What is a Geriatric Evaluation and Management (GEM) assessment?
• A Geriatric Evaluation and Management (GEM) assessment is a consultative resource for patients, their family members and caregivers, and their primary care physicians (PCP). • A Geriatric Evaluation and Management assessment provides a comprehensive assessment of your loved one’s health issues – in the context of social and family needs – and it provides a comprehensive plan for managing the person’s conditions and care. • A geriatric evaluation assessment also provides education and patient-specific information about health problems as well as information about and access to community and private supports for patients and caregivers.
