Resilience & Frailty

Frailty is a medical condition of reduced function and health in older adults. Physical inactivity, poor nutrition, and social isolation, and multiple medications contribute to frailty. When you are frail the body has less resilience to bounce back from illness. We are leading in new models of geriatric care and clinical interventions.

Geriatric Essentials eLearning – Frailty

This module defines frailty and its indicators, and explores how common it is among elderly people in Canada. It argues that frailty is reversible, and focuses on how to address indicators and mitigate future risk. Using a case study, you will practice using the Assessment Urgency Algorithm (AUA), and learn strategies to reduce frailty.
