Medline, CINAHL, Cochrane and Embase were searched to 31 January 2025.

Studies represented a broad range of GR service types. Substantial heterogeneity was observed in reported care processes, including terminology, team composition, workflow, contextual factors, and assessment methods, with over 90 different tools used. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) was rarely reported, patients with moderate to severe dementia were frequently excluded, and no study described the entire GR care process in a holistic manner.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Current evidence shows substantial heterogeneity and fragmentation in the description and implementation of the GR care process, with variable depth of implementation, team structures and assessments.
