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

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

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

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. Episode - hosts @AlexSmithMD | @EWidera

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

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

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.
