In addition, faculty will identify risk factors that contribute to falls in the older adult as well as for individuals in SNFs, and provide interventions to reduce the risk of falls.

The daily stressors associated with providing care can often lead health care professionals (HCPs) to feel emotional exhaustion, decreased empathy, reduced effectiveness, decreased work-related fulfillment and a lack of accomplishment. This activity will provide HCPs with individual and organizational strategies to increase resilience (the ability to cope with and recover from difficult experiences) and proactively respond to challenging situations, both of which can improve mood and mental health and increase joy and satisfaction in daily health care practice. It will also describe individual and team-related traits necessary to develop resiliency and discuss preventive measures to counteract burnout.

This podcast will share insights and perspectives directly from Diane Bomberg and provide strategies that the interprofessional health care team can utilize to better support those impacted by rare diseases such as lymphangiomatosis.
