Chronic Care and Geriatric Resources-Innovations.
Met with Ron Stock re: Learning about Interdisciplinary Teams in a Geriatric Outpatient Setting. He has discovered that change is most effective when you complete steps in the following order: 10 create a team culture- where people understand their roles. 2) Introduce evidence based protocols - change in practice 3) Redesign the work. Sounds like we're on the right track.
He also suggested there are some good resources about Acute Care of Elder program based on interdisciplinary teams. They are exploring these for the new hospital in Eugene. Maybe a direction to explore with St. Joseph's. The link is attached.
Opportunities to connect with others abound- Medicaid Case Mangement set for July 25th, Greenfield Site Visit July 29th, perhaps a Seattle presentation with CMS on Systems Dynamics Modeling/Simulation for July 15th. Life is full of possibilities. [Mary Minniti's Radio Weblog]
