After coming out of residency and taking care of lots of complicated older adults as of now, a brand new physician attending, I really needed that team to help me out. And so I thought let’s try to figure out actually how many they are, where they are they in academic centers and community centers. Are they community dwelling?

So, Dr. McPherson, as far as I can tell, she’s really the only person in our professional community who in any sort of serious public way said, folks we need to do something about this. I know this is like, we’re talking about math and so that makes it all a little complicated, but think about it this way.

So Carmen and Katie developed an EMS Community Partnership program. They created a seamless link between this Community Partnership program and 911 calls for falls. Eric and I enjoyed talking with Carmen and Katie about this innovative and common sense approach to addressing falls in the community. Word of mouth spread rapidly.

Psychedelics have been used by communities around the globe for hundreds of years (or more). Alex: It’s complicated. We, for very complicated reasons, ended up with niacin. They came from other traditional settings and communities that have a lot of knowledge about how to use them in respectful and safe ways.

But then once it was open, started seeing a lot of other populations: not just our own hospital population, but a lot more just community members calling with concerns about driving. If they’re in a major car crash, they’re going to have more long-term complications probably than a 20-year-old would. Eric: Yeah. Emmy: Yeah.

It’s baked into people’s belief systems, who ultimately make laws and make policies, and it can influence healthcare. It can influence education systems. So I think you can see how there’s a lot of work to do among multiple sectors within healthcare, including education and training.

It’s very challenging from a hospitalist standpoint because I think there’s definitely a population of people who are not educated well about what are the outcomes when people go to subacute rehab, who benefits from that. We provide critical education. Sarguni: I hear what you’re saying and I struggle.

We adapted a small group of us, Vital Talk for emergency medicine, which is communication skills training using simulation. But yeah, it’s complicated.

There were community-minded motivations, there were motivations that were not having to do with health but having to do with, “So my kids won’t keep calling me and telling me I have to get vaccinated,” type motivations so. I think in other cases, if you look at surveys, the motivations can be more complex.

Many were community hospitals. And especially that requires a lot of education. But for me, who’s practicing in North Carolina and not just at the main resource hospital, but also at the smaller hospitals, the community hospital, we look at this across the geography. Participants were critically ill and intubated.

This is not a process where they can see into the future around what complications or challenges may arise, but this is the world that we live in and we can anticipate that.

Although, certainly when you start facing complications of serious illness, it is increasingly important to engage as individuals and conversations about goals, values, and preferences.

None of the changes that we saw in end-of-life care processes relied on specialist palliative care increases or resources, which is really important because seven of the 10 hospitals that participated were rural or community-based, which is where most Americans receive their care, and also where specialist palliative care is often most limited.
