A group of health plans, policymakers, and insurance companies recently told the Center for Medicare & Medicare Innovation (CMMI) that they needed a standardized definition for palliative care in order to improve access. The definition of palliative care that is out there is something that’s an intangible.
We talk with them about the epidemiology, assessment, and management of dysphagia, including the role of modifying the consistency of food and liquids, feeding tubes, and the role of dysphagia rehabilitation like tongue and cough strengthening. Raele: Yep, they definitely can be. Eric: And why is it more common in hospitalized adults?

Neither of these options is necessarily bad in and of themselves, but a thoughtfully sculpted career is definitely fodder for a much richer, more satisfying, and rewarding trajectory. Yet, at the same time, it can also feed our sense of pride and purpose—and, perhaps, aspirations for more. The Continuum of Consciousness.
Neither of these options are necessarily bad in and of themselves, but a thoughtfully sculpted career is definitely fodder for a much richer, satisfying, and rewarding trajectory. But we can also consider the ways in which work doesn't just pay the bills and put food on the table, but also how it feeds us on the inside.
One of the ways you can reverse engineer this part of the process is by definitively crossing off what you wouldn’t even consider doing. You may also find podcasts, articles, videos, and social media feeds that help you stay current. Attend conferences, workshops, and webinars/seminars related to your field.
I think it’s pretty much standard of care for Type 1, but it’s definitely not there for Type 2. Alex Lee: I’m not sure about hard outcomes yet, but it definitely, and Nadine, correct me if I’m wrong, I believe it improves A1C, I believe it improves time and range. Tamryn: I definitely agree.
It’s impossible not to fall madly in love with the beauty of PNG and marvellousness of her people but I definitely won’t miss the toe-curling flights that dodge through the mist-clouded mountains into the Highlands. Steep, steep learning curve but I loved seeing patients, working with and advocating for nurses (pay-rises all round!)
In this article, we review the definition of ALS, common ALS symptoms, and how you can better help and support your loved one by seeking the assistance of hospice care services. Eventually, all the muscles that a person can control are affected, forcing the person to use a ventilator and/or feeding tube. What is ALS?
Is there a formal definition, or one that you think about? ” So feeding them little soundbites that they might be able to take off the tip sheet and use if they had the opportunity. For the folks who haven’t listened to our past podcast, I really just want to start off with maybe two quicker answers. Ariel: Sure.
As I worked, I watched the LPNs and RNs administer meds, care for wounds, give tube feedings, etc. “I I can definitely see myself retiring here, feeling fulfilled. In those days, the nursing home trained nursing assistants and you didn’t have to be certified. I can do that,” I’d say to myself. I accepted a position in rehab.
So while paying your employees more definitely impacts retention, the data shows that your caregivers are still looking for more than just pay. They want to know when I need them so they can plan the rest of their life which feeds into the notion of work-life balance.
Wendie Colvin ( 23:54 ): It’s kind of cheesy, but it’s, if you give man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach Amanda Fish, you feed him for the rest of his life. Cuz I think that’ll be really, really helpful to a lot of folks.
To delve into these questions, we spoke with Hope Wechkin, medical director of EvergreenHealth home hospice, who authored an article describing a process of Minimal Comfort Feeding (MCF) for patients who have expressed an interest in not wanting to live with advanced dementia. Eric 01:13 Yeah, you got to jump in. Take it over.
Daneila Lamas wrote about this issue in the New York Times this week -after we recorded – in her story, a family requested an herbal infusion for their dying mother via feeding tube. We wanted the definition to be pretty broad of what a pull. Eric 21:46 We definitely. Laura 07:03 That could be a PULET. I did some research.
Mariah 03:51 I like the SAMHSA definition as sort of a guiding definition for it, and I’m happy to read it. Well, being a pretty comprehensive definition. Kate 11:33 Yeah, I mean, definitely more indirect pathways than direct. Eric 04:19 Yeah. So there’s an event or a series of events. Everything may not be.
Because, if anybody hasn’t seen it, you’ve got a great Twitter feed that gives tons of pearls on palliative care and a lot on communication. Yeah, I think we took a pretty broad definition in the article, but really it’s any failure to communicate clearly and adequately. What motivated you to dive into this?
I think of artificial intelligence as just being something that uses machines to do tasks usually reserved for humans, but I think Charlotta probably has a better, more specific definition than that, especially around machine learning. Sei: So this definitely feels like what I was talking about as AI 2.0 Alex: Yeah. Eric: Charlotta?
And I think … And to me, working well speaks to what you describe as the transdisciplinary definition. And you feed the medicine in. Eric: I got another question then, feeding on that, thoughts on how we can promote leadership in palliative care social work. Barbara: I definitely agree with you. Barbara: Exactly.
How definitions bind us, for example the division between chronic pain and palliative pain in much of the US. Somehow we were not very limited by definitions. Definitions can be shackles. Raj: We are not limited by definitions because we started our first non non-government organization. We create definitions.
It is definitely a lot. Every call or message creates a case that feeds into our newly developed dashboard. Its all about empowering hospice clinicians to provide timely, reliable, and appropriate medication access for patients. It sounds like your department does a lot. What do your day-to-day operations look like?
For a deeper dive, check out some of these other studies and resources we talked about in the podcast: The Influence of Nursing Home Culture on the Use of Feeding Tubes.

Like us, subscribe to us on your podcast feed. Alex: You may have seen her on Prior podcast playing piano. Alex: That one’s easy.
However if you want to take a deeper dive, check out his website “ The Ink Vessel ” or his amazing twitter feed which has a lot of his work in it. If you look back to some of my cartoons from late in residency, they showed just how dehumanized I felt and definitely give windows into how dehumanized I imagined my patients to be.
Eric 02:37 Feeding the beast, Matthew, feeding the beast [laughing] Alex 02:41 All right, here’s a little bit. Nicole 06:04 In a way, it definitely does. For those of you who are listening to the audio only podcast, Matt sent me the garageband version with like four different backing tracks. It’s awesome.
By completing the Practical Geriatric Assessment, we’re able to feed in and get a result of the probable toxicity that patients will experience. John: You know, Eric, I think it’s a definite possibility. So it definitely changes the dynamic on goals of care, and increases that. No, no, please. How does that fit in?
How do you talk to them about these terms and these definitions? Naomi 14:50 I definitely think, and I love Jane, how you keep coming back to the moment, because that’s all we have. There are stories that are stuck in here that need definitely. Naomi, I’m going to turn to you. Thoughts on kind of where we are.
We could have talked for 4 hours and will definitely revisit this issue! They often have behavioral issues stemming from their disorder, their life circumstances, all sort of feeding into each other. We all have questions. We addressed as many of your listener questions as we could. Sometimes the drugs dont work.
And whether tube feeding should be on there, that’s never an emergency decision. But the point is that EMS is a big piece of this discussion and national going forward, National POLST’s Collaborative is making that definitely a priority because it is forgotten a bit in some states. Kelly: Yeah, no, definitely.
And Katie, I was going through your Twitter feed, and a tweet I noticed was this one, “All opioid guidelines caution long-term use in people with active substance use disorder.” Let them have this one piece of joy left, which is their opioid use disorder”, which, by definition, is not bringing them joy, right?
So we followed Gretchen Schwarze’s definition, which was 1% or higher inpatient mortality was considered high-risk. You’ll have a feeding tube. And we were specifically interested in looking at patients who had high-risk inpatient procedures. Eric: What are some examples of that? You may end up there indefinitely.
Julie: I definitely feel like that because unfortunately, now I’m… And this is what I’m working on now is it’s really hard not to get focused on numbers and views and if someone’s going to like it, and now I have a book that I’m trying to sell, which I hate that feeling- Eric: You’ve got a brand.
He, his Twitter feed though is brilliant. Julien: I think that we should definitely be asking questions about patient goals, family goals, and trying to ensure that everything that we do is goal concordant, especially, and that starts… Well, it starts for me about whether they should even enter the ICU itself. Eric: Yeah.
Sunita: Oh, I was going to, just to clarify what I had said before, it’s definitely not that we based things solely on biology, for sure. Alex: A feeding tube. She said, “Well, you do it based on their values.” ” And I say, I’m just being a doctor, then. Eric: Yeah. I know, man, I just screwed up.
It has absolutely felt like a marathon, to look back on it all now I definitely do feel a sense of accomplishment that we made it work. Balancing nursing school with raising your daughter, building your first home, and enduring a pandemic is quite an accomplishment. Maybe I’ll add midwifery to my plans for further study, who knows!
Linda Leekly ( 14:08 ): From what I’m hearing then going viral is definitely not the goal, right? And so therefore, in my definition, he is an influencer. It’s not what I wanna see on my feed. And then by being that resource, it’s gonna indirectly bring more leads and business your way.
In your living will, you should clearly state your preferences for medical treatment, including life-sustaining measures such as artificial ventilation and feeding tubes.

I asked Rose after feeding her. “Me? Oh, I’ll definitely be going back. I’ve been spending time with my people. I enjoyed myself a lot.” “Hey, Hey, that’s great.

So it's definitely not a one way conversation. They may even have a scheduled interview, but we're not feeding that, those videos about the company and the culture. If it's going to be organic, but it can be a lot of fun. And again, not a lot of competition on Tik TOK. And sometimes TikTok, they're a little bit real and ruthless.
you know, I think there’s, there’s definitely been a change in the perception of continuing education and how important it is for all healthcare professionals. I’m sure that you’ve seen so much change in the industry and the ways that we think about training and professional development. Linda Leekley ( 08:29 ): Sure.
And then when I came to residency at the University of California, San Francisco, I was definitely interested in HIV, also in geriatrics and general medicine.
