Several interventions have been developed to minimize the effects of a fragmented health care system and improve services to older adults in long-term care settings. In the context of scarce specialized resources and expertise, this article describes Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, Minimum Data Set, and Resident Assessment Protocols, the integration of which offers promise for effective evaluation and case management. The model's significance and potential benefits for targeting services to residents at risk for adverse outcomes are explored as components of an integrated information system for enhancing the care of nursing home residents.
