‼️New in @AnnalsofIM we demonstrate increasing rates of physicians' attrition from clinical practice since 2013. Attrition + across specialties, geographies, physician gender. Read more here: https://t.co/8ylIRW9MQ2 with @CameronGettel @arjunvenkatesh @Yusuke_Tsugawa & others!

Background: The United States faces a predicted shortage of 36 500 physicians by 2036, with an increasing proportion of physicians leaving clinical practice or expressing an intent to do so. Evidence...
New study in @AnnalsofIM shows rising rates of doctors leaving clinical practice across all specialties and regions. Led by DoC-IT's @LisaRotenstein with Yale and UCLA colleagues, findings highlight real-world patient care challenges. 🔗 https://t.co/L6K30GzuKk

By integrating GUIDE services into EDs, we can: ✅ Improve caregiver support. ✅ Reduce unnecessary hospitalizations. ✅ Foster care coordination across settings. This aligns w/ CMS’s mission to improve health outcomes for PLWD. #DementiaResearch #CareTransitions (7/8)

Challenges exist: ➡️ Limited time/resources in EDs. ➡️ Need for workforce training on dementia care. ➡️ Coordination with outpatient GUIDE programs. But the potential benefits—improved outcomes for PLWD & caregivers—are worth pursuing. (6/8)

Potential ED-based GUIDE interventions: 📋 Screening for dementia & caregiver burden. 📋 Crisis care planning for acute issues. 📋 Immediate referrals to GUIDE care navigators post-discharge. This could make the ED a true gateway to comprehensive dementia care. #Aging (5/8)

Why EDs? 📌 57% of PLWD visit EDs annually. 📌 Nearly 50% of these visits are due to preventable conditions like infections or falls. Integrating GUIDE services into ED workflows can address these gaps, reducing readmissions & enhancing care continuity. (4/8)

ED visits can be pivotal for PLWD & caregivers, signaling distress, unmet needs, or caregiver burden. These visits present a unique chance to connect PLWD & families w/ GUIDE Model services, particularly post-ED discharge. #DementiaSupport #Caregivers (3/8)

The GUIDE Model supports beneficiaries w/ dementia by offering person-centered services (e.g., care navigation, caregiver education). Yet, it primarily focuses on outpatient settings. What about PLWD in acute crises—like those presenting to EDs? #DementiaAwareness (2/8)

🚨EDs are critical for persons living with dementia (PLWD). Could EDs be integrated into the CMS GUIDE Model to improve dementia care? Learn more in a new @Health_Affairs article by @HashemZikry @SMDresdenMD @rgupta729 and Ari Friedman : https://t.co/n43l0TwnyH 🧵 (1/8)

Consistent with the approach taken by other alternative payment models, GUIDE frames the emergency department as a negative outcome to be avoided. In doing so, GUIDE ignores the reality on the ground...

⭐️New in @JHospMedicine from our group at @YNHH CORE⭐️ @VeteransHealth (VHA) hospitals were included in the @CMSGov Star Ratings for the first time in 2023. We found they more commonly received higher ratings than matched non-VHA hospitals. https://t.co/rlRQ2wzpSP

New in the Journal of Geriatric Emergency Medicine: https://t.co/fx9rAnnvRr More important than family history in older patients is an understanding of the caregiver network supporting them. This led us to think about what would go into a "Best Possible Caregiver History".
