| Annotation | Communication between elderly people and their health care providers is becoming more important due to the chronic nature of geriatric health problems and their impact on quality of life. The purposes of this paper are: to summarise the fundamentally different bases for communication between health care providers and patient; to discuss the shortcomings of various methods (such as advance directives) to embody patients' wishes about their care; to review new models of geriatric care that have implications for this communication process; and to develop a framework - based on biographical methods and the concept of empowerment - that suggest some potential solutions to these communication problems. |
