title: [Geriatrics in the acute care hospital].
abstract: Since 1985, a graded system of medical care has served as a model at the III. Medical Clinic, Antonius hospital, Velbert-Neviges, FRG; Geriatric I (diagnostic, therapeutic, and intensive medicine), Geriatric II (therapy unit), and Geriatric III (day clinic) have not only reflected diagnostic and therapeutic improvements but they have also changed daily hospital operational requirements. Because of the structural adjustment of the hospital geriatric patients receive better care and patient-care costs are reduced.
