The Rapid Geriatric Assessment (RGA) is a brief screening tool that:
• provides a brief, reliable method for detecting common geriatric syndromes, including frailty, sarcopenia, geriatric anorexia, and cognitive function; 
• helps identify problems for which early interventions are most likely to be successful; and 
• enables tracking of changes over time (annual screening checks)

The Geriatric Transitions Objective Structured Video Examination (GT-OSVE) is a series of 3 video cases depicting the same hypothetical patient undergoing transitions of care in different locations: hospital to home, skilled nursing facility to home, and home to an assisted living facility. The GT-OSVE may be used as an evaluative tool to assess trainees' ability formulate transitions plans and to assess team functioning. Alternatively, the GT-OSVE may be used as an educational tool for teaching about transitions of care.

PROMIS® stands for Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System, which is a system of highly reliable, precise measures of patient–reported health status for physical, mental, and social well–being.

PROMIS measures can be used as primary or secondary endpoints in clinical studies of the effectiveness of treatment, and PROMIS® tools can be used across a wide variety of chronic diseases and conditions and in the general population.
