What is GeriMedRisk?

GeriMedRisk: A Model for Integrated Care

GeriMedRisk is a non-profit virtual clinical service that connects Ontario physicians, nurse practitioners or allied health professionals* with geriatric specialists to optimize medications, physical and mental health conditions in older adults. Our interdisciplinary team of specialists from geriatric psychiatry, geriatric medicine, clinical pharmacology, and geriatric pharmacy work collaboratively to answer clinicians’ questions via telephone, fax and eConsult. We provide patient specific consultations and relevant educational materials to the referring clinician.
