dc.description.abstractHawaii's rapidly aging population is a challenge for Hawaii's health care providers. What with the high cost of care, limited health care resources, and a rapidly increasing population of frail elderly patients living in the community, will our medical practices be able to adapt to the care of patients who require more time and who will have not only multiple medical illnesses but complicated psychosocial conditions as well? Will our health care facilities be prepared for the typically longer stay and more expensive older patient? Will the cost of care in Hawaii keep on rising? Who will pay? Will this challenge turn into a crisis?
