Description
Matsui and colleagues in Japan tested in 2026 a chart tool that sums up care for old patients in five parts, known as the Geriatric 5Ms. The five parts cover mind, movement, drugs, many sided health woes, and what counts most to the patient. Their ward at Nagoya University Hospital built the summary into its electronic record. The team checked how fully staff filled it in for 139 stays over ten months.
Nearly every stay, all but four, had a summary on file. The fullest part was the many sided woes list, filled in for near all patients. The weakest part was what counts most to the patient, filled in for about seven in ten. Across all parts, staff filled in about half of the set sub items on a typical chart. Drug lists were started often but rarely checked for drugs with no clear need.
