Geriatric care management refers to the multidis­ ciplinary accumulation and analysis of data regarding an elderly patient, with associated management deci­ sions and implementation follow-up. Included in this concept is gatekeeping, coordination of care, making initial referrals, and evaluating new and ongoing med­ ical concerns via comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). The care/case manager could be anyone of the various team members, be it the primary care physi­ cian, nurse, social worker, therapist, psychologist, etc. From a practical standpoint, the physician is usu­ ally the person who must approve proposed man­ agement options, wherever they originate. This paper describes a computer software pro­ gram designed to allow performance of these func­ tional assessments in a streamlined, cost-effective manner with a minimum of additional staff. The soft­ ware program was developed and tested in the au­ thor's solo primary care geriatric practice. The actu­ al administration of the evaluation, consisting of the computer-prompted interview, lasts about 1-1/2 hours, depending on the cognitive status of the client. Since cognitive status is assessed early in the interview, it is suggested that if the patient scores below 26 on the Mini-Mental State Exam, a corroborating person must be in attendance. If the interview is conducted at the client's home, using a laptop computer, the Home Safety Checklist can be used as a guide for the house inspection. If the interview is conducted at the care manager's office, the client should arrive with the Home Safety Checklist al­ ready completed. Table 1 lists the tests used in this as­ sessment.
