Anyone publish geriatric-focused QI? Any ideas for journals? Looks like Geriatrics MDPI does but I am struggling to find others that publish implementation style QI projects that are narrowed down on geriatrics topics.

It is such a QoL difference starting to see almost all my own, established patients! Getting to know them and their families is such a pleasure. Feels similar to the end of residency when I knew my resident panel so well.
