Summary Transcript Summary What does the future hold for geriatrics? Historically, answers generally lamented the ever increasing need for geriatrics without a corresponding growth in the number of specialists in the field. On today’s podcast, we are going to do a deep dive on the future of geriatrics with three amazing guests.
A dearth of coordination or integration between rehab teams and palliative care teams routinely forces some patients into a cycle between the hospital and the nursinghome in their last year of life. These results appeared in a 2019 New England Journal of Medicine study titled “Rehabbed to Death.”
As well as that really, we need to keep caring forward with what Tim Quill and Amy Abernethy talked about in 2013, about really a big part of our specialty is potentiating the primary palliative care that’s done by non-specialists, and how do we embrace that even further to carry our message further? Alex: Nursinghomes.
This idea that for critically ill patients in the ICU, geriatric conditions like disability, frailty, multimorbidity, and dementia should be viewed through a wider lens of what patients are like before and after the ICU event was transformative for our two guests today. I’m going to turn to you Lauren.
And to be very fair, there was a study in 2013 in family practice, this would be important, I think for those who treat older patients. Let’s focus on outpatient management, nursinghome management. Eric: Alex, do you have any questions about prevention before we move on? We got to get to treatment. Eric: Treatments.
