What's New
Frailty Overlay for Integrated Clinical Pathways
Integrated Clinical Pathways (ICPs) support the care of individuals with defined clinical conditions. While many will be successfully managed within ICPs, some may need additional supports. This resource is designed to complement ICPs and help clinicians optimize health outcomes for older adults living with complexity and/or frailty.
GEM ROI Report
Through the GEM program, older adults receive specialized geriatric emergency management services in the hospital emergency department (ED). These services are provided by GEM nurses or nurse practitioners with advanced training in gerontology.
This report presents findings from a return on investment (ROI) evaluation for the GEM program.
Central East Provider Experience Evaluation
Seniors Care Network conducted a region-wide Provider Experience Evaluation May through Oct 2024, to achieve two main objectives: 1) attain a better understanding of the overall experience of clinicians/providers while providing specialized care to the older adult population (through a comprehensive 50-question survey) and 2) Understand healthcare leaders’ perceptions about current SGS workforce challenges and policy priorities to address these (through structured interviews).
​
Cumulative findings/results were reviewed to identify and prioritize actionable recommendations for decision-makers at a macro, meso and micro levels.
​
The key findings of the Provider Experience Survey analysis are summarized in Poster 1, and key recommendations for decision-makers are summarized in Poster 2.
