Figure 2 The geriatric effort.

Notes: Illustration of the present state and future goals of the National Database of Geriatrics. At present, the register covers the geriatric effort in the geriatric hospital units. The future ambition is to monitor the efforts both before and after an admission in a geriatric unit and to monitor all frail multimorbid elderly patients admitted to the hospital through an emergency department.
