Health contract calendars: a tool for health professionals with older adults.
A modification of the health contract technique was applied by 4 geriatric fellows from the Center on Aging, University of Texas Medical Branch, and 3 family medicine residents from the Department of Family Medicine, University of Texas Medical Branch, to a diverse group of 48 older adults. The innovation, a calendar component to the health contract, allowed for the calculation of specific success rates. Fifteen clients had a 100% success rate, and 21 were highly successful, 8 not too successful, and 4 unsuccessful.
