This questionnaire is designed to assess geriatricians' approaches to gastrointestinal cancer screening for Korean-American older adults. The contents of this questionnaire will be kept confidential and not be used for other purposes than this study.

Implementation and Operation of Adult Care for Elders (ACE) Units Within Hospitals Throughout the U.S. Survey
Posted by: Dr. Kyle Allen, DO
If you have implemented or tried to implement an Acute Care for Elders (ACE) unit, we need your help! Summa Health System's Department of Geriatric Medicine and the ACE Unit in Akron, Ohio have developed this survey to determine the location of ACE units in the United States, review demographics of ACE unit patients and identify the challenges, barriers and financial costs associated with developing, or not being able to develop, an ACE unit. Please take a moment to finish the survey (it should take about 10 minutes). Your feedback is important and we will be happy to share the results with you, if requested. If you have any questions or concerns, contact us at jenciusa@summa-health.org. Thank you for your time.

This survey is designed to collect information on how to improve the care of older adults with behavioral problems and address how professionals treat and perceive behavior problems in nursing home residents.
The survey is important because it:
- Will clarify the perspective of physicians on this prevalent and difficult problem in nursing home care
- Will clarify gaps in the system of care.
- Could set priorities for training of nursing home professionals
- Could help set the agenda concerning culture of the nursing home.
*Please Note: All participant and nursing home identities will be kept confidential.
