Providing practicing physicians with effective education that leads to better patient outcomes remains challenging. In 2003, the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine developed a comprehensive program to enhance practicing physician geriatric medicine education based on the Assessing the Care of Vulnerable Elders model. The program was implemented with a large, multisite primary care group based in the greater Cincinnati area and was designed to increase physicians’ clinical skills and assist them in implementing new office and system strategies that could improve the quality of care for their older patients. Four topic areas were chosen: medication management, falls and mobility, urinary incontinence, and dementia. A multifaceted physician education program was developed for each topic area, with lunch‐time, in‐office, geriatrician‐led presentations as the primary intervention. Over a 4‐year period (2004–2007), more than 60 physicians in 16 primary care practices attended 107 teaching sessions. The value of the presentation content, quality of the presentations, and perception of meeting the primary care physicians’ (PCPs’) educational needs were each rated at 3.8 or above (4=excellent). Between 80% and 92% of the PCPs planned to make a change in their practice behavior as a result of the training, but only two offices initiated formal quality improvement projects. During the teaching sessions, the PCPs were provided with screening tools to identify “at risk” patients, assessment chart templates, and community resource and patient education materials. The application of a modified version of the ACOVE model to reach a large group of primary care physicians is possible and may be one strategy to improve the assessment and management of geriatric syndromes.
