Abstract:
11033 Background: Despite the aging population driving cancer growth, oncology trainees receive little training in geriatrics. While electronic resources, such as ASCO University, may help meet this gap, use of available geriatric oncology (GO) modules is low. We sought to understand why by exploring how oncology trainees currently learn about GO, their preferred methods for learning about GO, and their attitudes towards e-learning and geriatrics. Methods: Canadian medical oncology residents and recent graduates were electronically surveyed about the following domains: demographics, self-directed learning practices, use of electronic resources, perceived facilitators and barriers to e-learning, and geriatric oncology teaching. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: Respondents (n = 47) were mostly aged < 35 (66%). Respondents felt that learning about older adults was important (mean 4.3±1.0 out of 5) and generally felt comfortable caring for them (mean 3.9±0.9 out of 5) despite minimal training in geriatrics.Almost half (48.9%) received 0-2 hours of teaching in GO during residency, with the majority (59.6%) receiving teaching in clinic, 36.2% through lectures and 21.3% via seminars. Respondents also learned about GO through reading journal articles (42.6%), modelling in clinic (36.2%), reading a textbook (19.2%) or attending a conference (19.2%). Respondents preferred to learn about GO through on-site lectures (46.8%), dinner meetings (42.6%), case discussion (42.6%) and attending conferences (38.3%). Although overall respondents highly valued electronic learning (mean 4.3±0.75 out of 5), only a minority (8.5%) had received GO teaching electronically using e-modules and only 23.4% respondents were aware of e-learning resources in GO. In contrast most respondents (83%) had used an e-learning resource to learn about oncology. The most common oncology e-resources used were ASCO University (61.7%), Oncology Education (61.7%), and ASCO meeting videos (44.7%). Conclusions: Although oncology trainees value and commonly use e-learning resources, e-learning is not a common or preferred way to learn about GO, potentially due to lack of awareness about these resources. Future research will explore whether the current methods of educating oncology learners about older adults are appropriate and sufficient, as well as how trainees value and prioritize learning about topics that are not included in the formal curricula.

Abstract:
Purpose: To undertake a systematic review designed to observe the educational activities carried out by geriatric pharmacists innovatively, and also to ascertain their training needs.Methods: Articles were selected based on the following inclusion criteria: published in the years 2000 - 2019, designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT), published in English language, contained educational activities carried out by pharmacists, and contained training requirements for pharmacists. The exclusion criteria were as follows: did not mention educational activities, only examined and assessed economic aspects, and used qualitative studies. This study analyzed nine articles from PUBMED, Scopus and Google Scholar that met the inclusion criteria.Results: Comprehensive education consisting of approaches such as interviews, discussions, case conferences, demonstrations, and goal-setting techniques provided innovations to medication review and pharmaceutical care plans. Seminar and e-learning were approaches to innovative problem-based education. Pharmacists needed training on medication review, education techniques for geriatrics, clinical collaboration, and geriatric pharmacotherapy.Conclusion: Pharmacist chose comprehensive and problem-based education approaches innovatively which require training in treatment management as well as professional relationship skills as educators, and based on the perspective of elderly needs.

Abstract:
Values-based practice is a new practice framework that promotes discussion focusing on the patient’s and healthcare professionals’ values for better clinical decision making. Our workshop was developed along with the framework of values-based practice. This workshop aimed to internalize diversity of values of both patients and health professionals and to rank interprofessional discussion as valuable to reach acceptable decision for both sides. The workshop involved healthcare professionals who worked in a public hospital in Bali. They were 6 medical doctors, 6 nurses, 4 nutritionist, 3 pharmacists, and 3 physiotherapists involved. The participants attended 1.5-hour lectures on comprehensive geriatric management and on interprofessional care for the elderly. In the next 1.5 hours the participants had simulated interprofessional conference for an elderly patient case. In the first half of the conference, participants formed groups of 5-6 people and played the roles of different healthcare members and a patient. The participants discussed the care management decision for the patient. In the latter half the participants started simulated discharge conference. After the conference, participants were asked to complete an evaluation questionnaire for this workshop. Twenty participants completed the questionnaire. Seven participants responded perfectly for the question “the workshop had internalized diversity of values of patients/healthcare professionals’ sides” and the remaining responded fairly. Meanwhile 40% of participants ranked the interprofessional discussion as perfectly valuable to negotiate recognition between patient and healthcare side. Open-ended questions revealed that the discussion enhanced healthcare professionals’ understanding of values of patients in delivering care for elderly patients. Interprofessional discussion allows internalization of values for both of patient and healthcare professionals’ sides.

Abstract:
Abstract Adults aged 70 and older have the highest suicide rates in most countries across the globe (World Health Organization, 2014). Prevalence may increase as the Baby Boomers transition into older adulthood (Phillips, 2014). Disease and disability increase risk for late-life suicide, thus identifying opportunities to intervene within the network of services utilized by older adults with illness and disability could reduce suicide risk. This symposium will explore the impact of disease and disability on late-life suicide risk, and present novel ideas for intervention and prevention. Emphasizing the conference theme, we will discuss prevention points spanning networks of care, including mental health and social services, and long-term care. Dr. Bower will frame the scope of the problem by presenting findings of age-stratified associations between physical illness and suicide attempt among older veterans using secondary data from a retrospective case-control study of veterans. Ms. Lutz will present findings on the relationship between disability and suicidal thoughts from a clinical trial of problem-solving therapy. Dr. Lane will discuss management and identification of suicide risk factors during the transition from independent living to long-term care through the lens of a case-series. Dr. Fullen will present preliminary findings from a novel, randomized controlled trial of a community-based suicide prevention training program for nutrition service volunteers. Dr. Yeates Conwell, Co-Director of the Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide and Director of the Geriatric Psychiatry Program at the University of Rochester Medical Center, will serve as the discussant.

Abstract:
Abstract Primary care providers (PCP) - internists, family practitioners, nurse practitioners, physician assistants - play an integral role in the care of older adults, although many receive limited geriatrics education. We sought to examine what questions community-based PCPs had about geriatrics and clinical care of older adults. As part of large clinical continuing medical education (CME) conferences across 12 states (FL,GA,CA,IL,NY,MA,DC, PA,AZ,TX,TN,WA), PCPs attended a live in-person 60-minute geriatrics-focused lecture and entered questions into a mobile application. Questions were then qualitatively analyzed using constant-comparison and tie-break methodology. At all sites, 103 questions were asked with 158 upticks (PCPs could check off that they had similar question) with a range of 3-18 questions per lecture. PCPs asked questions on the following common themes: 1.) Medication-related (e.g. discontinuing medicines in asymptomatic patients, optimizing pain relief), 2.) Dementia (e.g. prevention, nutraceuticals, agitation) 3.) Medicare Coding 4.) Falls 5.) Weight loss, and 6.) Insomnia. There were a number of questions referencing incorrect practices (e.g. prescribing inappropriate medications such as benzodiazepines for sleep, placement of gastric tubes in late-stage dementia, antibiotics to treat asymptomatic bacteria). In conclusion, community-based PCPs nationally experience gaps in geriatric knowledge and several utilize practices that could jeopardize older adult health. While attending CME-based lectures is one means of overcoming these gaps, some PCPs may not find time or realize geriatrics as an educational need. PCPs need to be better supported with opportunities to ask geriatric care-related questions in order to improve the care of older adults.

Abstract:
Abstract Current graduate and postgraduate medical education has minimal geriatric and palliative care curricular requirements, leaving Continuing Education (CE) programs poised to fill a critical educational niche. The San Antonio Geriatric and Palliative Education (SAGE) Symposium was a 3 day long interprofessional CE conference for providers caring for older adults. SAGE addressed geriatric knowledge, skill, and attitude deficits in practicing providers by incorporating: 1) a community and provider based needs assessment, 2) active skills sessions culminating in a health fair, and 3) multimedia based reflective exercises. Needs Assessment (Knowledge): A video needs assessments of older adults were performed using a convenience sampling methodology in 13 non-healthcare public locations in each quadrant of the city. 23 respondents were interviewed before reaching thematic saturation with 3 main themes: geriatric syndromes, patient-provider relationships, and support. Content areas for the course were derived from the needs assessment. Skills Sessions (Skills): In addition to standard plenary sessions, multiple active breakout session taught attendees common geriatric skills. On the last day of the conference, attendees applied these skills under supervision at a senior community health fair. Reflective Exercises (Attitudes): Videos, poems, and artwork with themes on aging were displayed during conference breaks. Attendees received CE credit for electronically submitting short reflections to each multimedia piece. Reflections were compiled and reported back to the group at the end of the conference. By changing the traditional CE conference format to an interactive experience, the SAGE Symposium was able to address knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards aging in its attendees.

Abstract:
Background In France, emergency departments (EDs) are the fastest and most common means for general practitioners (GPs) to cope with the complex issues presented by elderly patients with multiple conditions. EDs are overburdened, and studies show that being treated in EDs can have a damaging effect on the health of elderly patients. Outpatient care or planned hospitalizations are possible solutions if appropriate geriatric medical advice is provided. In 2013, France’s regional health authorities proposed creating direct telephone helplines, “geriatric hotlines,” staffed by geriatric specialists to encourage interactions between GP clinics and hospitals. These hotlines are designed to improve health care pathways and the health status of the elderly. Objective This study aims to describe the health care pathways and health status of patients aged 75 years and older hospitalized in short-stay geriatric wards following referral from a geriatric hotline. Methods The study will be conducted over 24 months in seven French university hospital centers. It will include all patients aged 75 and older, living in their own homes or nursing homes, who are admitted to short-stay geriatric wards following hotline consultation. Two questionnaires will be filled out by medical staff at specific time points: (1) after conducting the telephone consultation and (2) on admitting the patient to a short-stay geriatric medical care. The primary endpoint will be mean hospitalization duration. The secondary endpoints will be intrahospital mortality rate, the characteristics of patients admitted via the hotline, and the types of questions asked and responses given via the hotline. Results The study was funded by the National School for Social Security Loire department (École Nationale Supérieure de Sécurité Sociale) and the Conference for funders of prevention of autonomy loss for the elderly of the Loire department in November 2017. Institutional review board approval was obtained in April 2018. Data collection started in May 2018; the planned end date for data collection is May 2020. Data analysis will take place in the summer of 2020, and the first results are expected to be published in late 2020. Conclusions The results will reveal whether geriatric hotlines provide the most effective management of elderly patients, as indicated by shorter mean hospitalization durations. Shorter hospital durations could lead to a reduced risk of complications—geriatric syndromes—and the domino chain of geriatric conditions that follow. We will also describe different geriatric hotlines from different cities and compare how they function to improve the health care of the elderly and pave the way toward new advances, especially in the organization of the care path.

Abstract:
AbstractThe rise in the number of older prisoners in many nations has been described as a correctional “ageing crisis” which poses an urgent financial, medical and programmatic challenge for correctional health-care systems. In 2016, the International Committee of the Red Cross hosted a conference entitled “Ageing and Imprisonment: Identifying the Needs of Older Prisoners” to discuss the institutional, legal and health-care needs of incarcerated older adults, and the approaches some correctional facilities have taken to meeting these needs. This article describes some of the challenges facing correctional systems tasked with providing health care to older adults, highlights some strategies to improve their medical care, and identifies areas in need of reform. It draws principally on research and examples from the United States to offer insights and recommendations that may be considered in other systems as well.

Abstract:
IntroductionAlthough the majority of older patients admitted to a cardiology unit present with at least one geriatric syndrome, guidelines on managing heart disease often do not consider the complex needs of frail older patients. Geriatric co-management has demonstrated potential to improve functional status, and reduce complications and length of stay, but evidence on the effectiveness in cardiology patients is lacking. This study aims to determine if geriatric co-management is superior to usual care in preventing functional decline, complications, mortality, readmission rates, reducing length of stay and improving quality of life in older patients admitted for acute heart disease or for transcatheter aortic valve implantation, and to identify determinants of success for geriatric co-management in this population.Methods and analysisThis prospective quasi-experimental before-and-after study will be performed on two cardiology units of the University Hospitals Leuven in Belgium in patients aged ≥75 years. In the precohort (n=227), usual care will be documented. A multitude of implementation strategies will be applied to allow for successful implementation of the model. Patients in the after cohort (n=227) will undergo a comprehensive geriatric assessment within 24 hours of admission to stratify them into one of three groups based on their baseline risk for developing functional decline: low-risk patients receive proactive consultation, high-risk patients will be co-managed by the geriatric nurse to prevent complications and patients with acute geriatric problems will receive an additional medication review and co-management by the geriatrician.Ethics and disseminationThe study protocol was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee UZ Leuven/KU Leuven (S58296). Written voluntary (proxy-)informed consent will be obtained from all participants at the start of the study. Dissemination of results will be through articles in scientific and professional journals both in English and Dutch and by conference presentations.Trial registration numberNCT02890927.

Abstract:
Abstract Background: The Acute Life Interventions Goals & Needs Program (ALIGN) at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City aims to work closely with high risk geriatric patients for short term intensive management of acute medical and social issues. Quantitative measures for determining success of the program is comparing emergency room visits and hospitalizations prior to and after enrollment with ALIGN. The Community Paramedicine service allows a paramedic, the ALIGN provider, and an emergency room physician to assess and triage patients in their home via video conference thereby avoiding ED visits for non-urgent services. Method: We reviewed the utilization of the Community Paramedicine service (from July 2017-February 2020) and its impact on ALIGN’s efforts to reduce unnecessary ED visits and hospitalizations. Results: 36 patients were evaluated with the Community Paramedicine service (from July 2017-February 2020). 19 or 52.8% avoided an ED visit and 17 or 47.2% were transported to the ED. 12 or 70.6% were admitted to the hospital of those that were transported to the ED initially. Top reasons for transport to ED included generalized weakness, acute mental status change (AMS), and shortness of breath (SOB). Conclusions: A Community Paramedicine program utilized by a high risk geriatrics team like ALIGN is effective in reducing ED visits and hospitalizations for the elderly population who incur greater expenses to the health care system and traditionally have poorer health outcomes.

Abstract:
Seligson [1] describes how Hoffmann and Jaquet, a medical doctor and an engineer, respectively, developed the original Hoffmann fixator as a tool to stabilize human fractures with minimal invasiveness. Whether being utilized in mass trauma injury situations such as the 2010 Haitian earthquake, within our emerging geriatric population, or in veterinary applications, external fixation is widely used [1–4]. In this investigation, a rod-to-wire coupling, shown in Figure 1, and hereafter referred to as the R2W clamp, has been designed and validation tested for Stryker Orthopaedic’s Hoffmann II (HII) External Fixation System. As the name implies, this clamp has the purpose of connecting 8mm rods to 1.5mm or 2mm Kirschner (k-) wires or olive wires to stabilize bony fragments in the lower extremity, thus expediting healing in a trauma case. This paper summarizes the results of the validation tests conducted on prototype clamps. This clamp effectively allows placement of a wire to further stabilize a frame [3] by allowing wire placement without the addition of an intermediate ring, as shown in Figure 2. The wire could be added to any configuration with two parallel rods extending in plane with the bone. As shown in Figure 3, the R2W clamp can be positioned “outboard” with the rod between it and the bone, or “inboard” between the rod and the bone, allowing the surgeon geometric flexibility. The use of two k-wires is recommended to stabilize each bone fragment [5]. One of the goals of the validation testing was to determine the effectiveness and functional safety of the clamp as related to surgically applied k-wire tensions of either 50 kg or 100 kg. Since it is feasible that surgeons may tighten, loosen, then retighten the clamp while positioning it during surgery, the effects of clamp retightenings on the performance of the R2W clamp were also evaluated [4].

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide with elderly patients being predominantly affected. There seems to be a bias against administering chemotherapy to elderly patients with fewer elderly patients receiving chemotherapy as compared with their stagematched younger patients because of concerns about their capacity to endure treatment. To make personalized treatment decisions and to anticipate serious adverse effects, a toxicity prediction tool that can be computed at the bedside is the need of the hour. This well-validated score has not been tested in the Indian population. So, we decided to test the same score in our patients and try to correlate the score with the observed toxicity. Objectives This study was aimed to determine geriatric functional status by means of a standardized geriatric score and to correlate geriatric score with observed chemo toxicity. Materials and Methods Fifty consecutive elderly patients (age > 60 years) with a diagnosis of cancer and scheduled for chemotherapy were recruited. These patients were evaluated using the geriatric assessment tool which is based on functional, nutritional, and psychological status. After that patient’s pretherapy, chemo toxicity score or geriatric score was calculated using a published well-validated tool that consisted of 11 prechemotherapy variables as follows:a) Age of patient,b) Cancer typec) Planned chemotherapy dose,d) Planned number of chemotherapy drugse) Hemoglobin,f) Creatinine clearanceg) Geriatric questions like -i. How is your hearing?ii. Number of falls in past 6 months?iii. Can take your own medicines?iv. Does your health limit you in walking one block ? during past 4 weeksv. How much of time has your physical health or emotional problems interfered with your social activities (like visiting with friends, relatives etc.)The patients were then followed from the beginning to the end of six cycles of their chemotherapy regimen. Toxicities were noted after each clinical encounter by using the NCI-CTCAE, version 3.0.25. Results General characteristics: the mean age of participants was 66 years (standard deviation [SD] = 4.6 and range: 60–85 years). Of them, 60% received polychemotherapy and 82% received standard doses of chemotherapy. The mean score on activities of daily living was 66.7, comorbidity score was 2.7, the psychological scale was 63.8, the social-activity scale was 54.3, and social-support scale was 64.1. The mean pretherapy toxicity score is 7.24 according to the toxicity calculator. At least one grade 3 to 5 toxicity occurred in 30% of the patients (66% of grade 3, 20% of grade 4, and 13.3% of grade 5). The correlation between the predicted score and observed graded toxicity score by Pearson’s scale (α = 0.05) was 0.63. Conclusion The prediction model is easy to use, thus increasing the feasibility of incorporation in daily practice is important. It may enable oncologists to better assess the risk/benefit ratio and to adjust the treatment accordingly.

Abstract:
Asthma is a chronic disease that causes fixed airflow obstruction, swelling and inflammation of the lung airways. This results in shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing [1]. 3.9 million People in South Africa are estimated to suffer from the disease and 1.5% of this total die as a result, annually [2]. The disease is the 3rd most common cause of child hospitalisation in South Africa. In developing countries, the most common and affordable treatment option for asthma would be the standard metered dosage inhaler (MDI) [3, 4]. MDI’s provide a range of medications (including airway dilators and anti-inflammatories) contained within the aerosol canisters. A large number of paediatric and geriatric patients suffering from asthma are unable to produce the necessary force required to activate the standard MDI. The study investigated fingertip pinch (action carried out when activating an MDI) strengths to determine the activation force deficit for paediatric patients [5]. In addition, patients using a standard MDI are unable to track the number of dosages remaining in the aerosol canisters [5]. The study presents a solution to the above mentioned patient limitations. A sleeve attachment was developed to reduce the required activation force of a standard MDI and track patient medication adherence. Additional features included height adjustability for varied MDI sizes (55mm to 90mm in length) and paediatric patient aesthetic appeal.
