TL;DR: The diagnostic algorithms for diabetes and hypertension demonstrate adequate accuracy, thus allowing their use for research and policy-making purposes, and the algorithms for the other 3 conditions require further refinement to attain better sensitivities.

TL;DR: The Seniors Collaborative Care Program used an interprofessional, shared-care, geriatric model and allowed for a short referral time and easy access, which might allow seniors to remain in their environment of choice.

TL;DR: The benefit seen in the use of LLLT, although statistically significant, does not constitute the threshold of minimally important clinical difference and inconclusive evidence is provided because of significant between-study heterogeneity and potential risk of bias.

TL;DR: There is large variation in CT ordering among EPs and Physicians' self-reported ordering rate correlates poorly with actual ordering, and higher rates of ordering were observed among physicians who reported increased concern with 2) risk of missing a diagnosis, 3) medico-legal risk, 4) patient wishes, and 5) what colleagues would do.

TL;DR: Front-line perspectives of nurses and physicians who referred their patients to a newly developed integrated, multidisciplinary program for seniors that was introduced into their primary care clinic experienced improved care processes, improved quality of care, and an enhanced experience when managing their elderly patients.
