Abstract

The comprehensive geriatric assessment is a key tool of geriatricians. It encompasses a holistic approach to care and is now the standard of care for the provision of geriatric medical care for older, vulnerable people across multiple areas of practice. In this article, I argue that the CGA is a tool that allows respect for and support for a human rights' focused approach. This support for human rights has developed incidentally with the development of the CGA. As a result, there are risks to older people's human rights even with a well-applied CGA. The development of a specific human rights convention focused on older people would help focus attention on the rights of older people.

人权与老年综合评估:护理标准是否符合人权方针?
老年综合评估是老年医学的重要工具。它包括一种全面的护理方法,现在是在多个实践领域为老年人和弱势群体提供老年医疗保健的护理标准。在本文中,我认为CGA是一种工具,它允许尊重和支持以人权为重点的方法。这种对人权的支持是随着《公约》的发展而发展起来的。因此,即使有良好的CGA应用,老年人的人权也存在风险。制定一项以老年人为重点的具体人权公约将有助于把注意力集中在老年人的权利上。
