Geriatrics at your Fingertips - Providing high-quality health care for older adults requires special knowledge and skills. Geriatrics At Your Fingertips (GAYF) is an essential tool for all healthcare professionals and trainees who care for older people. It provides immediate access to the comprehensive information needed to make clinical decisions in a variety of healthcare settings. Since its initial publication in 1998, GAYF''s up-to-date content and portable format quickly made it the American Geriatrics Society''s (AGS) best-selling publication.
Given its portable size, GAYF does not explain in detail the rationale underlying the strategies presented. Many of these strategies have been derived from guidelines published by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and various medical societies (see the National Guideline Clearinghouse at www.guidelines.gov). When no such guidelines exist, the strategies recommended represent the best opinions of the authors and reviewers, based on clinical experience and the most recent medical literature.
The authors welcome comments about GAYF, which should be addressed to the AGS at infoamger@americangeriatrics.org or 350 Fifth Avenue, Suite 801, New York, NY 10118.
