Geriatric care management

Geriatric care management is the process of planning and coordinating care of the elderly and others with physical and/or mental impairments to meet their long term care needs, improve their quality of life, and maintain their independence for as long as possible.

It entails working with persons of old age and their families in managing, rendering and referring various types of health and social care services. Geriatric care managers accomplish this by combining a working knowledge of health and psychology, human development, family dynamics, public and private resources as well as funding sources, while advocating for their clients throughout the continuum of care.

For example, they may assist families of older adults and others with chronic needs such as those suffering from Alzheimer's disease or other dementia.

It is really unfortunate that the entire world is largely suffering and looking with a great hope to come out of the clutches of COVID -19. As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads across the world, the intensive care unit (ICU) community must prepare for the challenges associated with this pandemic. The aim of this special issue would be a substantial effort to bring together the current progress on the COVID-19.
