On a gloomy Friday in January, Johnson, a nurse practitioner who treats older adults, had a hospice consult with Ellen, a patient in her 90s in declining health. “It’s also often the family member or the person helping to manage them.” nurse practitioners can practice independently.

So that’s one, this patient-centered geriatric assessment and management approach.

When I’m on nursing home call, the most common page I receive is for a blood sugar value. When I’m on palliative care consults and attending in our hospice unit we have to counsel patients about deprescribing and de-intensifying diabetes medications. And yet we’re also in a different place in diabetes monitoring and management.

I think that study was really important, especially I think the message that I give people is you can do something as simple as calling a consultation and improve quality of life months later. It was like this patient is on hospice and call the case manager to figure out how the patient ended up here. So that’s great. No, no, no.
