Abstract
The interdisciplinary team process of care combines the principles of geriatric assessment with guidelines for optimal medical and nursing care of patients in an interdisciplinary environment. Strong evidence suggests that this method of care can help prevent functional decline, restore function, and provide efficient and coordinated continuity of care for older patients who are hospitalized for acute medical illness. The loss of functional independence is not an inevitable consequence of acute illness and hospitalization among older patients.
