A Tale of Two Innovative Models of Long-Term Care
A Tale of Two Innovative Models of Long-Term Care is organized by The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term care Medicine - AMDA
Activity Created: 3/2022
Credits Available Until 3/2025
Description:
The pandemic highlighted the value of operationalizing proven geriatric care principles (e.g. adequate deprescribing, timely advance care planning, reducing social isolation, etc.) to improve outcomes. As a result, over the last year or more, we have seen much motivation for collaboration and outside-the-box thinking by interprofessional teams. Smaller care environments are also of greater interest given the risks faced by those in congregate living settings. In this session, presenters will share the design, implementation, and outcomes from two innovative, geriatric models of care- an interprofessional nursing home, and a home-sharing model, both employing evidence-based principles not just to address COVID-19, but to operationalize a range of geriatric care principles more broadly.
Learning Objectives:
• List attributes of evidence-based geriatric care models in long-term care.
• Describe facilitators and barriers to high-quality, geriatric care delivery in long-term care.
• Summarize the attributes and impact of two proactive models to improve institutional care and options for home sharing to promote aging in place.
