New independent review of assessment systems for older persons in community and residential care concludes that: "After a systematic search and an evaluation exercise, we conclude that the interRAI HC and interRAI LTCF are the best candidate CGA systems for potential use in Australian community and RAC, respectively. We propose this study will be valuable for aged care providers and policy makers considering assessment systems and will simplify the process of selecting an assessment system that will standardise comprehensive geriatric assessment and support the multiple data requirements for the sector." https://lnkd.in/gC9cB6Ws

More than 1 in 5 Americans will be 65 or older by 2040, the Department of Health and Human Services projects. And more than 56% of those turning 65 will need some sort of long-term service. The aging population will significantly impact society, affecting economic growth, work and retirement patterns, family functions, and healthcare systems. It will also increase the prevalence of chronic diseases and the need for long-term services. Improving long-term services for the elderly can involve integrating AI to enhance care efficiency and quality, shifting from institutional to community-based care models, and expanding programs like PACE and organizations such as the United Senior Association to meet these growing demands. #unitedseniorassociation #USA #eldercare #FDA #seniorliving #ADA #AI #NIH #patientcare #compliance #hospitals #OIG #healthcare #HHSOIG #digitalhealth #HSS #CMS #assistedliving #nursinghomes #seniorcare #medicare #seniorcitizen #homehealthcare #caregiver #dementia #inhomecare #seniorhealth #kloekorby #alzheimers #mentalhealth

So great to meet a kindred spirit like Mathieu Figeys when it comes to older person care in emergency departments! See his publication on #geriatricassessment #olderperson The geriatric assessment is a good idea because it helps evaluate older adults comprehensively to identify their medical, psychological, and functional capabilities. It assists in tailoring a care plan specific to their needs, including managing chronic conditions, cognitive function, and overall well-being. This assessment can also help detect any potential issues early on and provide appropriate interventions to maintain or improve the individual's quality of life. #patientsafety #hospitalavoidance
