Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

With the Baby Boomer and Generation X groups getting older each day, the country is facing the reality that by 2025, one quarter of the workforce will be above 55,”The problem doesn’t only lie in the fact that Americans are living longer. They’re also, generally speaking, more sick. The CDC recently noted that the number of individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s would double by the year 2060, and the rise of chronic illness affects nearly half of all adults in the U.S. Seniors are also more likely to experience macular degeneration and life threatening dental problems. This inevitably puts a strain on an already overburdened and understaffed healthcare system. Here are some ways we can fix this problem

Creating comprehensive patient assessments that include a complete review of all medical, psychosocial, lifestyle, and patient values

Creation and implementation of an evidenced-based plan of care that addresses all of the patient’s health-related needs

Communication and coordination with all who provide care for the patient in question

Promotion of the patient’s (and their caregiver’s) engagement in their own healthcare

just copy and paste I hope this helped :)
