Travel to see consultants can be disorienting and difficult for persons living with dementia (PLWD). We provide descriptive statistics of the service utilization and taxonomy results. Results: PCPs’ questions were directly related to the patient’s dementia in 30% of community cases (n=29), compared to 15% in LTC (n=8).

This simple challenge was focused on putting ourselves in the shoes of our patients with dysphagia who are prescribed thickened liquids. And I think that we’re at this kind of crossroads right now in dysphagia, and dysphagia management where our patients are suffering. We revisit it, and make things better for our patients.

Should eligibility and access be determined by clinician referral? If we move away from clinician referrals as the means by which people get access, how do we keep the clinicians engaged, and not enraged? I have never myself called a palliative care consult as a trainee because we didn’t have one. By diagnosis?

The obstacles hindering referrals to palliative care services. We also take a dive into these 2 articles that Connie first authored: Palliative care in nursing homes: A qualitative study on referral criteria and implications for research and practice. And so we do have consultants who come in the building. Thank you so much.

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. Going into patient’s homes was eye opening. It was eyeopening to see patients in their own home. And so that really triggered my interest.

Give too much, it may cause harm (even if the higher dose had no significant side effects, it would require patients to take a lot of unnecessary additional pills as well as increase the cost.) So, what is the effective dose of palliative care? Give too little – it may not work. Jennifer 04:25 I can take that on. Eric 05:32 Yeah.
