| Annotation | This article presents a framework for the integration of community services for older adults, in which a model for multidisciplinary practice is introduced. A generic Multidisciplinary Screening Instrument (MSI) for use with this model was developed for assessment and referral purposes. This article applies the principle of collaboration to the community practice setting. Community efforts have not followed the effective lead of professional efforts in institutional settings in the development of collaborative, interdisciplinary planning for older adults. Educators and practitioners in the field of gerontology need to examine new ideas and adopt new models in their teaching and professional practice. |
