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.

While scientists are still working to identify and clarify all of the functions of sleep, decades of studies have confirmed that sleep is of fundamental importance for various physical and cognitive processes and even survival. Studies have also identified potentially catastrophic effects of lack of sleep on health, wellness, and brain function. This presentation will discuss research that indicates the impact of sleep deprivation on the body and examine the role of underdiagnosed sleep apnea as a significant threat to public health.

Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) are crucial in evaluating the impact of health care professionals, teams, and systems on patients’ health, quality of life, and treatment outcomes. By consistently tracking PRO scores, health care organizations can pinpoint areas of excellence and opportunities for improvement, as well as compare the effectiveness of different treatment options. This presentation will explore the benefits of PRO measures in health care and provide insights on how to seamlessly integrate these measures into clinical practice. Strategies for interpreting and utilizing PRO data to improve health care quality will also be highlighted.
