Geriatrics Clinical Resource Center
Practical tools and evidence-focused resources for the care of older adults, including functional assessment, medication safety, cognition, frailty, falls, nutrition, renal function, healthy aging, and current geriatric medicine articles from across GlobalRPh.
Clinical background
Geriatric medicine is more than chronological age
Care of older adults often requires clinicians to evaluate several interacting domains at the same time. Functional status, cognition, physiologic reserve, medication burden, mobility, nutrition, sensory function, renal reserve, comorbid disease, social support, and patient goals may all influence the safety and usefulness of a treatment plan.
This portal brings GlobalRPh’s geriatric calculators, drug references, clinical articles, and cross-specialty resources into one organized location. The goal is to make it easier to move from screening and risk recognition to medication review, disease-specific information, and broader clinical decision support.
- Function & independence
- Frailty & physiologic reserve
- Cognition & delirium
- Falls & mobility
- Polypharmacy & medication safety
- Renal function & drug dosing
- Nutrition, muscle & bone health
- Goals of care & healthy aging
Assessment & clinical calculators
Geriatric tools already available on GlobalRPh
Core screening and assessment resources have been reorganized by clinical purpose rather than presented as one long alphabetical list.
Function, balance & independence
Cognition & mood
Men’s health & genitourinary
Medication safety & dosing
Polypharmacy, appropriateness, renal function and drug therapy
Medication review is central to geriatric care because treatment burden, organ function, drug interactions, falls, cognition, and therapeutic goals may change substantially over time.
Medication review tools
Renal function & pharmacokinetics
Neurologic & bone pharmacotherapy
Cognition, dementia & delirium
Screening, treatment and current GlobalRPh reading
Clinical references
Recent cognition & delirium articles
Frailty, falls & care transitions
High-value geriatric syndromes now covered across the GlobalRPh blog
These articles were not well represented on the older Geriatrics portal even though they address core geriatric concerns.
Bone, muscle & nutrition
Sarcopenia, osteoporosis and nutrition resources
Calculators & treatment references
Sarcopenia & frailty
Cardiovascular, renal & risk assessment
Additional GlobalRPh resources relevant to older adults
Cardiovascular risk & anticoagulation
