For all that, these recognised issues have to require critical as well as individual identification and analysis, in terms of impacts, in order to come up with comprehensive content ideas that will be used in the developing a care manual. The care manual intends to assist healthcare staff or practitioner to be able to use best, effective, and efficient healthcare practices in the support of individuals with dementia and/or other common geriatric health conditions.

In response to the management’s prior action that pertains to the identification of the existing issues, this paper presents the following required critical analyses of the following: the impact common geriatric health conditions have on the types of health service delivery such as the general practice, hospital services, home-based community care, and residential-aged care; the impact common geriatric health conditions have on the cost of health service delivery for dementia as regards to burden of disease (Disability-adjusted Life Years (DaLYs), mortality rate, direct health system expenditures, and aged care system expenditure; the impacts the current legislative framework has on the management of geriatric service organisations, particularly the Code of Rights Regulations 1996, the Health and Disability Services (Safety) Act 2001, the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992, and the Privacy Act 1993; the impacts evidence-based research has on the management of geriatric service organisations; the impacts organisational protocols have on the management of geriatric service organisations; and the common ethical issues and conflicts experienced by managers and practitioners of geriatric service organisations and recommend alternative measures to remove or minimise such ethical dilemmas and conflicts experienced by managers and practitioners of geriatric service organisations, respectively the actual and potential conflict of interest between family members as well as
