[A primary care program in old age psychiatry: background, implementation and first experiences].
The specific characteristics of elderly people, who are likely to develop somatic and psychiatric co-morbidity, and cognitive deterioration, require tailored support in primary care. The first results of a support programme for the elderly in primary care are encouraging. Further research will show whether the EPO has sufficient added value for both the GP and the patient to justify large-scale introduction.
