Moderator: Nicole M. Orr, MD, FACC
This session will examine gaps in care delivery within post-acute and long-term care (PALTC), particularly in nursing home (NH) settings, where clinical complexity often outpaces available resources and systems. Learning Objectives: (1) identify key barriers that limit practicing the standard of care and implementing best practices in caring for patients in PALTC, with particular attention to how systemic challenges contribute to health inequities and disparities among older adult populations; (2) gain an understanding of the key findings in the NASEM report and its significance in driving systemic change and improving quality in PALTC settings; (3) utilize practical, evidence-based strategies including GWEP Project ECHO, principles from the Hartford Foundation Teaching Nursing Home Model, and the evidence-based “4M” framework, so that geriatricians and interprofessional teams can optimize the quality of care delivered to the disadvantaged NH population and improve patient outcomes as well as collective staff engagement in these lofty efforts to deliver truly age-friendly care; and (4) utilize validated prognostic models to support shared decision-making discussions for patients and families in post-acute and long-term care.
