Understanding your patient population and their frailty risk can both ensure appropriate and targeted care for older adults who have complex medical needs and support positive health outcomes. Are your services set up to identify frailty and adequately address the needs of this patient population?
What you will learn about:
• What frailty is
• The implications of caring for people who have complex medical needs and how multiple health sectors (e.g., acute care, primary care, home and community care) can support patients to age well
• How to address a growing health system challenge
• Real-life examples of frailty initiatives and success stories from our panellists
Your panellists:
• Dr. John Muscedere, Scientific Director, Canadian Frailty Network
• Dr. Grace Park, Program Medical Director, Home Health, Fraser Health
• Tara Sawchuk, Senior Practice Consultant, Elder Friendly Care, Alberta Health Services
• Ron Beleno, Patient and Caregiver Advocate for Aging Adults
