So, the question becomes, what, if anything, should we do differently in the primary care setting to diagnose the disease? On todays podcast, weve invited Nathaniel Chin back to the GeriPal podcast to talk about what primary care needs to manage this new world of Alzheimers disease effectively. Great to be back.

Alex 00:12 We have a guest host who has requested this episode, Matt Shuster, who’s a geriatrician and palliative care doc. And also I was in the HVMA primary care program. So kind of from a primary care point of view, the guys are doing okay. He’s in Boston. And Matt brought today’s topic to us.

Eric: But before we jump into talking to your patients about driving retirement cessation, let’s talk about what is the role of the healthcare professional in this at all? Certainly my bias is that healthcare professionals really do have a role in this discussion. And what should we be doing as far as assessment?

So we have done a few qualitative studies where we’ve worked with a bunch of primary care clinicians, geriatricians included and adults 76 and older to try to get language to have these kind of conversations. We sent PCPs a copy of the educational tool they would receive. Mara: Exactly. And so then they saw their PCP.

I worry, as a ex-primary care doctor, how much time I have. And so you could say that’s sort of starting the normalizing that process of advance care planning. And I would say too, as a primary care provider, it really doesn’t take that long to ask people about a surrogate decision maker.

I can remember two instances of storytelling in training or in education, I guess. And I turned to my dad and I said, I think mom needs palliative care. And she did have a primary care doctor. And I called up my friend who is a palliative care doctor and described the situation.
