Older people
may in some instances be either burdened with unwanted treatments or
denied treatments due to ageism. Specific health goals change
markedly as people age (eg. quality of life vs longevity) it is
important that patients and physicians discuss specific goals as
part of the treatment plan. Alligning goals of care with available
therapies improves quality, satisfation, and cost savings.
