Abstract
Open AccessOlder patients frequently experience the coexistence of multiple diseases. The conventional single-discipline diagnostic and treatment model is insufficient to comprehensively address all concurrent conditions, thereby necessitating a multi-disciplinary collaborative approach. The Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team represents an innovative diagnostic and treatment paradigm tailored for older patients, with clinical pharmacists serving as integral members of this team. This article presents a case report of the application of Geriatric Interdisciplinary Team, involving the participation of a clinical pharmacist, aiming to provide practical insights and experiences of this model for clinical pharmacists.
