Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	PPC	Participants will have an encounter with a facilitator who will identify priorities (outcome goals and care preferences) from the dyads and transmits them in the electronic health records (EHR), and a follow-up encounter with their usual geriatric care provider to decide upon changes in their care that align with the identified priorities.
BEHAVIORAL	Usual care	Participants will have a geriatric clinic visit with a geriatrician that acts as their primary care provider (PCP) , in which the dyads will be encouraged by an unblinded study coordinator to ask about reducing medication burden.
