Importance of Age Specific Competencies

Age specific competencies are necessary for healthcare professionals to treat patients of different ages. They help professionals to understand the requirements, problems, and developmental milestones of infants through seniors. Healthcare professionals can improve patient’s treatment outcomes, communication, and family trust with these qualities. Age-specific competencies are essential to patient-centered treatment and lifetime well-being.

Patient rights according to the Affordable Care Act (ACA)
