Comprehensive Care of the Older Adult Conference (Dec, 2018)

Comprehensive Care of the Older Adult Conference is organized by Ausmed Education Pty Ltd and will be held from Dec 06 - 07, 2018 at The Grace Hotel, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

The target audience for this medical event is Nurses. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 10.30 CPD Hours.

Course Overview:
Comprehensive care is an essential pillar of modern health as reflected in Standard 5 of the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards developed by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care (ACSQHC, 2018). As people age, they are more likely to require comprehensive care. Attend this conference to gain key information and learn about:
• How to implement a comprehensive approach to care
• Measuring and documenting “comprehensive care” outcomes in older adults
• How to effectively combine clinical and psychosocial care for patient satisfaction
• Managing the complexities of delirium
• How to implement novel approaches to risk reduction
• Using incident reports to improve care
• How to link prevention strategies to clinical outcomes and much

Need for Program:
The recently released 2nd edition of the NSQHS Standards (2018) includes the concept of comprehensive care. This concept of care has emerged in response to identified gaps and will likely drive health policies for the next several decades. Such patient-centered care requires a holistic approach that goes beyond the disease process and demands that health providers consider and respond to the complex needs of their patients/residents, as well as the communities that are touched by them. As people are more likely to require comprehensive care as they age it is incumbent on all staff to be properly equipped to provide comprehensive care and ensure they comply with Standard 5 in order to achieve best patient/resident outcomes.

Purpose of Program:
The purpose of this two-day conference is to refresh and realign knowledge in order to confidently provide comprehensive care to older adults to achieve desired health outcomes.

Learning Objectives:
• Your documentation will include a full and detailed assessment of the psychosocial needs of your patient/resident
• Older people in your care will experience a comprehensive approach to their care needs
• Patients/residents who have cognitive impairment will be provided care that reduces the likelihood of falls
• Your understanding of the concept of comprehensive care will result in less untoward events occurring in aged care environments
