The Australian National Non-Acute Inpatient Project (NAIP) reported its findingson casemix in rehabilitation and slow stream geriatric medicine in October 1992.It proposed a per diem NAIP classification of 19 classes using six major clinicalgroups and the resource utilisation groups version three activities of daily living index(RUG III ADL index). Weightings were determined based on time spent by clinicalstaff in treating these patients.A quality management study was undertaken in the rehabilitation, geriatrics andpalliative care wards of the Illawarra Area Health Service for three months in 1993,analysing length of stay and cost against the predictive weights of the NAIP classification.The study concluded that this classification was an acceptable predictor of per diem costsof care in these wards of the Illawarra but was not a good predictor of length of stay.

Geriatric medicine is a specialty of medicine concerned with physical, mental, functional, and social conditions in acute, chronic, rehabilitative, preventive, and end-of-life care in older patients. Geriatric palliative care integrates the complementary specialties of geriatrics and palliative care to provide comprehensive care for older patients entering the later stage of their lives and their families. This chapter provides physician assistants with an overview of palliative care in older adults, the differences between palliative care and hospice, the understanding and managing of geriatrics syndrome, symptom management in older patients and the complexities of end of life, discussion of goals of care, and communicating with geriatric patients and families.
