What language do you use when talking about deprescribing? Fabulous research from Nancy Schoenborn #AGS25 showing what resonates more with patients

Thank you @lwaltermd.bsky.social for sharing this Michelle Obama quote. Love seeing all those who have inspired me, my geriatrics peers from @ucsfgeriatrics.bsky.social & @BUgeriatrics, & those I've mentored along the way. Need our #geriatrics community now more than ever #AGS25

Frail older adults with CKD most frequently focus their goals on function, physical health, social engagement, and leisure. These goals did not vary by participants' frailty status or CKD stage. #geriatrics agsjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…

Sitting with my fellow PACE PCPs listening to @AdamMar20913855 talk about prognostication. I should have known this, but it makes sense... The closer a physician is to a patient the less accurate their prediction of life expectancy is. Hope for the best, plan for the worst #hpm

Had a blast co-facilitating @UCSFMedicine student small group cases w/pediatrician Dr. Raul Gutierrez on how to support grandparent caregivers for kids! One of my favorite teaching activities w/@UCSFGeriatrics & @OnLokInc each year. #meded

Both @OnLokInc @IOASFBAY also hosted @UCSFMedicine students to teach about PACE. Students assured us they would tell their colleagues PACE is definitely the best model for #geriatrics care! My wisdom for them: "There's no pill I can prescribe for social isolation!" #MedEd

Dr. @JessicaEngMD, On Lok Medical Director, welcomes @UCSF medical students to the Openhouse-On Lok adult day center to explore Geriatrics Models of Care as part of their Life Stages course. A great hands-on learning experience! #Geriatrics #MedicalEducation

This qualitative study of internal medicine residents investigated factors moderating imposter phenomenon. Proactively addressing these factors could contribute to creating supportive environments that foster the success of residents bit.ly/3ZsFFc3 #MedEd @SusanMirabalMD

We happily welcomed @UCSFMedicine students at 5 @OnLokInc sites in SF today, including the wonderful LGBTQ focused site w/OpenHouse. Students learned about PACE & will compare to other models (SNF, RCFE, home care) tomorrow in discussion groups @UCSFGeriatrics

Gonna be on NPR's @Marketplace this evening, talking about older folks with mortgages who can't rely on home equity to fund retirement, assisted living or downsizing. Are they aging in place or stuck in place? marketplace.org/

Gabapentin "The we dont know what else to do drug" Gabapentin is one of the most overused drugs and has lots of side effects. Great article @Paula_Span nytimes.com/2024/08/17/healt…

It was an honor to be on the @GeriPalBlog podcast on Asian hate incidents & their effects on older adults. It's a topic that led me to @OnLokInc, @TweetNPA to be closer to the AAPI community & solving social isolation.
Today we discuss the impact of Anti-Asian Hate on the health & well-being of Older Asian Adults such as anxiety, isolation, & missed appointments. Guests @RussellJeung, @lingshengli, & @JessicaEngMD. #StopAsianHate

Research about private equity ownership in Geri & pall care so important now. SNF & PACE are other areas to look! @klharrisonPhD @laurenhuntRN

Dr. @klharrisonPhD and @laurenhuntRN publish in Health Affairs: Private equity acquisitions of hospices are rising, with ownership remaining opaque. Consolidation could impact hospice care quality. #Healthcare #Hospice #PrivateEquity buff.ly/3XCUtDt

Ack! But all my work logins require two factor authentication with my phone! I guess put it in the next room and get some exercise?

A University of Texas research study found that when people have a smartphone nearby, their cognitive capacity (the total amount of information the brain can hold at any one time) is significantly reduced, even when the phone is switched off. So if we're doing deep, focussed work, it's probably better to be physically distanced from our phones: linkedin.com/posts/anujmagaz… By @anujmagazine

We could lower that age cutoff even more @WrayCharles! 85? 80? I'm significantly younger & want to be discharged asap, but are we thinking older adults don't advocate for discharge? Or families & inpt teams concerned about discharging older adults more?

Inpatient Teaching Tip #467:
If your patient is >90 years old, your primary goal should be to get them out of the hospital as fast as possible

It’s true that medicine is both an art and a science.
But, if you don’t get the art right, the science will always fail.
