@sharon_inouye Are you aware of projects looking into training hospital sitters (PSA) in dementia and specifically delirium prevention techniques? They are already paid to sit at the bedside! Perhaps this is already part of the HELP program curriculum? @AmerGeriatrics

It's true that those that "earn" a sitter often already have delirium, so perhaps the training would target more delirium treatment/mitigation techniques.

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Don’t you think CMS should make #dementia coverage comprehensive?
Because you might need it, too.

I’m building a library at our clinic where dementia caregivers and care partners and people living with dementia can check books out and return at future visits. What books should I add? @AmerGeriatrics @KateBUW @LouiseAronson @MLRobertsonMD @DrMariu @msehgalmd @RZChipMD

We are balancing opioids (pain tx vs retention), no other retention offender meds

I'm hoping to create a delirium simulation over Zoom to teach family medicine residents core delirium principles. We have 30min & it will follow a delirium intro. Has anyone created something like this? @STFM_FM @AmerGeriatrics @MLRobertsonMD @RZChipMD @DrMariu @sharon_inouye

Love this local Covid silver lining story: community-based virtual exercise class to address loneliness and deconditioning in older people! @AmerGeriatrics
8 Jan 2022
Equipped with tablets, laptops and digital training, older adults exercise, meditate and sing karaoke together over Zoom -- staying in shape and fighting isolation. The nonprofit behind the class is aided by The Seattle Times Fund for Those in Need. st.news/3FcPm0h

More older folks w longer stays in hospital due to short staffing in post acute SNF, family illness or exhaustion, & other reasons. Anyone have creative ideas or protocols to keep these folks (many with dementia) engaged cognitively? Such a critical need during covid times.
