IMPACT Multiple Principal Investigator Vince Mor, PhD, discussed the history of geriatric assessment and its transformation into a technology for patients, populations, and research in his presentation “From Geriatric Assessment to Electronic Medical Records: Transforming Long Term Care Research” on December 18, 2025 for the Geriatric and Palliative Medicine Grand Rounds series hosted by the University of California-San Francisco Division of Geriatrics. Watch the presentation to learn more about:
- The historical development of comprehensive geriatric assessment and its role in defining the scope of geriatric medicine.
- How the codification of geriatric assessment principles in the Nursing Home Minimum Data Set (MDS) advanced understanding of frail and high-risk older adult populations.
- How advances in computational and analytic methods enable the integration of diagnostic, functional, treatment, laboratory, and vital signs data to study physiological processes in older adults.
- How integrated, data-driven insights can inform the design and successful implementation of more effective interventions in nursing homes and other long-term care settings.
