Shaping Long‐term Care for Older Adults: Exploring the Role of Geriatricians in Italy and the United States

“…It is an issue that has been well documented, particularly by geriatricians themselves for quite some time (see for example AGS, 2018; Fletcher, 2007; Golden et al, 2015; Incalzi, 2019; Lee & Sumaya, 2013). Some of the studies have also attempted to provide suggestions on how to improve the current situations in terms of improving recruitment and retention (among other Lester et al, 2020), while others have focused in proving the value of geriatricians in treating patients with very specific illnesses (among others Greene et al, 2022), after specific interventions (Coary et al, 2019; Friedman et al, 2008; Luo et al, 2022), in collaborations with other medical specialists (Callahan et al, 2006; Dham et al, 2017), in varying healthcare structures (among others D'Arcy et al, 2013; Forbes et al, 2018; Marsden et al, 2022) or in long‐term care facilities (Achterberg et al, 2019; Crotty et al, 2004; Steves et al, 2009). Other studies have instead focused on geriatricians' contribution in treating frail patients (among others De Vincentis et al, 2021; Totten et al, 2012), developing comprehensive geriatric assessment (among others Ellis, 2011; Soobiah et al, 2017) or implementing interdisciplinary or integrated forms of medicine (among others Famadas et al, 2008; Puelle et al, 2018; Zhang et al, 2022).…”
