Summary Considerable progress achieved over past 30 years to p g p 3 yprepare health care providers to provide optimal care to older adults Facilitated by: geriatrics clinical research, development of geriatrics and palliative care specialties, accreditation and certifying bodies, professional societies, foundations, and dedicated clinician educators

Barriers: Reimbursement, care system, and ageism , y , g

Pace of change needs to accelerate in the training of health professionals, care system innovation, and reimbursement reform to ensure quality care and control health care expenditures
