Health outcomes and implementation barriers and facilitators of comprehensive geriatric assessment in community settings: a systematic integrative review [PROSPERO registration no.: CRD42021229953]

Grace Sum et al.

Summary: Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a method that addresses the health needs of older adults through multidimensional evaluations and management. There is mixed evidence on the health outcomes of CGA for community-dwelling older adults, and barriers such as partnership alignment, acceptance of preventive care, and operational issues could impede its implementation.
