title: [A practical example of the application of the "Belgian geriatric evaluation and management program" within a general hospital].
abstract: A concrete realisation of the "Geriatric assessment and management program" as described in the arrêté royal within a general hospital: definition of the geriatric patient, his detection, his follow-up and the transmission of patient information. The analysis of the first results indicates the importance of the biographic and socio-economics factors. The optimisation of an early screening and the communication between caregivers are key aspects to enhance the care of this patients.
