Abstract
The authors describe the current and perspective structure of geriatric care in hospital and rehabilitation units. First the specific needs of elderly patients with various medical problems (multiple morbidity) are described. Furthermore the article analyses optimised structures of geriatric care. These visions are not limited to care in hospital and rehabilitation units but include prevention and long term care for elderly people as well.Entities:
