Newly Published! "Geriatric Emergency Medicine" discusses ED-related topics such as; workup of falls in older adults, evaluation of frailty, team-based multidisciplinary care, boarding of geriatric patients, & deprescribing. @clshenvi @UNCEM @EMedClinics bit.ly/4manXTL

This book was a labor of love with amazing co-editor Dr. Brittany Ellis. We gathered authors who are national experts to write articles on the most important topics related to the care of older adults in the ED. Thanks to series editor @amalmattu for the invitation! @UNCEM

A study found that GEDs had a higher diagnosis rate for 3 of 4 geriatric syndromes of interest and shorter ED lengths of stay than nongeriatric emergency departments. @clshenvi is joined by the author, Dr. Cameron Gettel, to discuss the findings: hubs.li/Q03gmsw10

The new CMS Age-Friendly Hospital Measure is poised to have a broad impact on the U.S. healthcare system, but there are specific applications for the Geriatric Emergency Department. @clshenvi reviews each of the measure’s five domains with Dr. Marcia Russell:…

Older adults have a higher risk of complications after an ED visit, and support after discharge is essential. GEMCast Host @clshenvi and Dr. Phil Magidson discuss how ED clinicians can help create safe transitions of care for older adult patients: hubs.li/Q037f4MH0

On #NationalWomenPhysiciansDay, we want to thank GEDC Core Faculty Members Dr. Ula Hwang, Dr.Teresita Hogan and Dr. @clshenvi for their meaningful collaboration over the years. Thank you for your contributions to geriatric emergency medicine!

In the latest GEMCast episode, @clshenvi and Dr. Martin Casey discuss strategies for ED physicians who face unique challenges when assessing older patients’ medications. Using case examples, they illustrate how to approach deprescribing. Tune in: gedcollaborative.com/podcast/why-le…

A huge thanks to Penn State EM, especially Drs. Susan Promes and @akkalantari for the invitation to speak at their annual faculty retreat. 🤩 I had the pleasure of leading a 2hr workshop on how to be an expert learner and teacher. Plus, beautiful Fall 🍁 colors in the Poconos.

It was such a pleasure talking with leaders in EM from around the globe about challenges and solutions in geriatric EM care. With @RosaMcNamara @prof_idzwan and @RBuhumaid

🚨🧠Our team's new work in @JAMANetworkOpen: In the month preceding a diagnosis of dementia, the ED visit rate was 13.0 out of 100 beneficiaries vs 2.95 out of 100 beneficiaries for those without a subsequent diagnosis. bit.ly/3NozT3N

So thankful to @ACEPNow and all the folks who have supported me along the way. The outstanding speaker award was an amazing honor and surprise.

👏 👏 👏 ED boarding is a hospital capacity issue, not primarily an ED efficiency or volume issue.

It was a great time speaking, listening, and learning at the #acoep24 conference. With @HippoEducation, @gbcomp, @andyglittle, @dkalnow, and @MDeLaneyMD. Bye for now, Houston! ✈️
