Download or read book Home Based Medical Care for Older Adults written by Jessica L. Colburn and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-29 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the population of older adults in the U.S. continues to grow, medical house calls are increasingly part of a system of comprehensive home-based care for patients who have difficulty accessing office-.based care. Clinicians who have been trained mostly in office and hospital settings must adapt their usual approaches to accommodate a wide range of environmental, social, and physical circumstances that impact home-limited patients. Ideally, a comprehensive team of clinicians proficient in multiple domains of functional, social, and medical care can work together to address potential gaps in any one clinician’s expertise. Unfortunately, such teams are still rare. This book aims to equip individual clinicians with the interdisciplinary knowledge, skills, and perspective they need to provide the best care possible with limited formal interdisciplinary support. This book offers 20 patient cases drawn from the collective experience of experts in home-based medical care from highly respected academic and clinical programs across the United States. Each case demonstrates a scenario that is frequently encountered and/or very important in home-based medical care practice. Each scenario frequently proves to be challenging for many professionals because it requires an approach or leverages aspects of care delivery that most are not trained in. Additionally, each scenario reflects an approach to care that is enhanced by interdisciplinary input. Finally, each case lends itself to a practical problem-solving approach that could be accomplished by most home-based medical care providers, even in the absence of an interdisciplinary team. Written by interdisciplinary experts in geriatric home-based care, this book serves as both an educational tool for learners in all related disciplines as well as a quick reference for experienced clinicians looking to augment their existing house call “toolbox.”
Download or read book Retooling for an Aging America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-08-27 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the first of the nation's 78 million baby boomers begin reaching age 65 in 2011, they will face a health care workforce that is too small and woefully unprepared to meet their specific health needs. Retooling for an Aging America calls for bold initiatives starting immediately to train all health care providers in the basics of geriatric care and to prepare family members and other informal caregivers, who currently receive little or no training in how to tend to their aging loved ones. The book also recommends that Medicare, Medicaid, and other health plans pay higher rates to boost recruitment and retention of geriatric specialists and care aides. Educators and health professional groups can use Retooling for an Aging America to institute or increase formal education and training in geriatrics. Consumer groups can use the book to advocate for improving the care for older adults. Health care professional and occupational groups can use it to improve the quality of health care jobs.

Download or read book Geriatric Home Based Medical Care written by Jessica L. Colburn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2024-11-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Older adults are living longer with more chronic disease and functional impairment than at any other time in history. Office-based practice is inadequate to meet the needs of patients who have difficulty leaving their homes for routine or urgent visits, and health care clinicians must choose between trying to manage their problems via telehealth or sending them to the emergency room via ambulance. Indeed, many clinicians receive little or no training in home-based medical care and are unable to consider a home visit that might avert a health crisis or an emergency room visit. Other clinicians know that house calls are possible but may not know how to work them into day-to-day practice. In recent years, a growing number of clinicians have focused their practice on home-based medical care to meet the rising need. In fact, there has been a substantial increase in house calls provided to Medicare beneficiaries. In 2023, over 750,000 traditional Medicare beneficiaries, and in 2022, over 680,000 Medicare Advantage beneficiaries received longitudinal home-based medical care. While the number of house calls has increased rapidly, the number of clinicians providing those visits has markedly decreased, suggesting that clinicians who are providing such care are making it the sole focus of their practice. This book is intended to be a practical reference for any clinician who has struggled to care for an older adult who has difficulty getting to the office. By describing fundamental principles of geriatric house call medicine and application to specific diseases and conditions, we hope to provide clinicians with the tools they need to provide timely, compassionate, and high-quality care for their older adult patients. The second edition has been updated to reflect changes in the healthcare system and approaches to care since the publication of the first edition.
