The time you spend with your patients is very limited. Yet during the interactions, it is critical to adequately cover the concerns and complaints of your geriatric patients. Tap into expert level skills to really hear your patients, seek further clarification, and critically think through each comprehensive scenario that comes your way.
Some healthcare providers are tricked by atypical presentations of diseases and misdiagnose a condition. Others feel overwhelmed by the number of medications a patient is taking. This advanced event will provide you with the necessary tools to address uncomfortable topics, streamline patient encounters with new tools, and create lasting treatment plans. A few of the topics covered include:
- Detect the risk factors for adverse drug reactions
- Master the overactive bladder diagnosis
- Hyper-acute care standards
- Apply five key principles for deprescribing medications
- Create a corrective sleep plan of action combining medications and behavioral strategies
- Use evidence-based assessments to identify mental health issues with physical consequences
