During these regular appointments, doctors conduct various tests and screenings to catch issues early. They also provide immunizations and lifestyle advice tailored to your specific needs.

Summary Transcript CME Summary Falls are very common among older adults but often go unreported or untreated by healthcare providers. Providers may feel a sense of nihilism, that there just isn’t anything they can do to decrease the risk of falling. What are ways we should screen for falls? A fall related injury.

If they’re in a major car crash, they’re going to have more long-term complications probably than a 20-year-old would. But I think then the other factor in this that makes it complicated is the decision for someone in Manhattan might be very different than the decision for someone in, like, rural Wyoming. Is this our role?

The insight started when Carmen, an orthopedic surgeon-researcher, and Katie, a physical therapist- researcher participated in ride-alongs with EMS providers to patient’s homes. And yet, after assisting the older adult to their feet, the EMS providers would leave. I think, as providers, we don’t get to see that.

Because a lot of my colleagues, who are like transplant coordinators for example, are asking, “Can you help us better screened for which older adults would be fit enough to go for transplant? There’s really no added extra resource or time that the coordinators really need to put to doing the screening, themselves.

Alex: It’s complicated. We, for very complicated reasons, ended up with niacin. We’re going to work with training up the providers that already work in these clinical settings to make it a little bit more, essentially, ask this question of how is this going to work in the real world? Eric: Yeah.

We then walk through how we should screen for anxiety and how we should think about a differential. How do you think about non pharmacological approaches, or maybe even in the people who just have a shorter, maybe less complicated anxiety, but it’s still impacting their sleep?

For example, we once thought that the lower urinary tract was sterile, but we now know it has its own microbiome, which may even provide protection against infections. So I actually got started in cancer screening also, thanks to some mutual colleagues. Like for me, my NF1, is it a good idea to get screened for cancer or not?

Had multiple physical, psychological complications as a result of that. Our early studies were looking at things like, desire for death, and syndromal depression, and screening for depression and anxiety, and will to live. And so really what it says then is, as a provider, we need to be acknowledging personhood.

If you had a magic wand, you can change one thing about what providers do around this topic of grief and prolonged grief disorder. Holly: Oh absolutely.

I had it on my screen. The model is predominantly physicians, advanced practice providers. We needed to build the relationships and trust and really provide a really good example of the value of palliative care outside of end of life care and advanced care planning. Jennifer: I think it’s such a complicated question.

Like, would you include the doctors that I work with, healthcare providers where I live in Marin? And then I’d also imagine from a quality of life perspective, like a one time visit by a palliative care provider, I can’t imagine it really significantly improving quality of life unless there was robust like the symptom.

Andrew complicates this definition , stating it raises more questions than answers. From perhaps the most sensitive instrument that we can get the family members report, while at the same time trying to sort of screen out potential false positives that are due to false hope or something like that.

“Typically when we think about conscience in medical ethics we think about it in terms of a negative claim of conscience, where a clinician refuses (or objects) to provide care. Lisa was writing about providing abortion care, but she just as easily could have been writing about providing medical aid in dying in states where it is illegal.
