Residents in nursing homes typically have at least one chronic condition for which they need some ongoing medical care. Change in condition (CIC) is crucial, especially when it comes to frail nursing home residents, and can be challenging to assess due to cognitive impairment and language barriers. Because some residents lack the ability to describe their symptoms, excellent communication and appropriate information from nursing staff on behalf of residents is key so that an interdisciplinary team (IDT) can develop an advanced care plan to best meet residents’ needs. CICs that are not reported can lead to unnecessary hospitalizations, so a patient-centered assessment and early identification of CIC by staff is important for the health and safety of residents. This activity will highlight the importance of an IDT and describe how recognizing CIC, providing excellent communication, developing patient-centered assessments and care planning are key for residents’ well-being. The effects of hospitalization vs remaining in place will also be discussed.

Early recognition of a change in pulmonary status improves the clinical management of residents of long-term care facilities. Health care personnel are frequently responsible for assessing the respiratory status of residents and identifying early signs and symptoms of a change in respiratory condition. This is essential to providing early intervention, but there are challenges in differentiating between onset of an acute illness and an exacerbation of a chronic condition. Optimal care requires skills and training that include education on accurately assessing physical findings, relevant patient history, vital signs and available diagnostics. This activity will discuss the etiology of respiratory illness and highlight assessment skills and interventions. Details on pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) will also be described.

Clinical practice guidelines are used in health care as an educational tool to improve patient care as a potential solution to reduce inappropriate variations in care. Opioid prescribing guidelines provide clear and comprehensive, evidence-based recommendations incorporating current information and practices for practitioners. This activity will examine the scope, impact, key statistics and factors contributing to the opioid crisis and highlight the current recommended opioid prescribing guidelines, their challenges and the role of state prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMP). Strategies to aid in implementing the opioid prescribing guidelines and to mitigate the opioid crisis will also be discussed.
