“Veterans deserve the best care possible and to that end, we are proud to be partnering with @DeptVetAffairs in a first-of-its-kind public-private initiative to establish accredited geriatric emergency departments across the VA system." – @ShelleyLyford https://t.co/JW4i6X7KX4
Important work highlighting the important role telehealth can play in older adult healthcare - during COVID and beyond.
Great insights for @WestHealth & @DartmouthHitch as we work to extend telehealth to geriatric EDs
@MikeKurliand check it out!
Very excited to share the work our lab did during #COVID19 with a COVID-19 supplement to my career development award. So grateful to the 48 physicians that allowed us to interview them on meeting the needs of older adults via telehealth when otherwise needs may have gone unmet!🙏
Falls/mobility and #physicaltherapy researchers: check out our scoping review and consensus statement on the role of EDs in fall prevention.
It's been an honor participating in this GEAR workgroup!
Excited to have our work published on the current evidence & gaps in fall prevention research in #emergencycare.

Huge thanks also go to all of our Expert Workgroup Members, including @MauraKennedyMD, @geri_EM, @ulahwang & many others I'm not connected to on Twitter...
Congrats to @sharphealthcare Grossmont on Level 1 Geri ED accreditation!
@SanDiegoCounty now has two Level 1 GEDs (the other being @UCSDHealth Gary & Mary West SECU) plus 10 Level 3 GEDs - more GEDs than any other county in the country!

A big deal, indeed!
@WestHealth is proud to be partnering with @ulahwang and many other clinical researchers on this growing body of work building the evidence base around the value of GEDs.
Huge undertaking from @ulahwang and @SMDresdenMD et al within the GEDI WISE team demonstrating that in-ED consultation with transitional care nurse or social worker reduced Medicare expenditures.
Big deal showing value to hospital and payer stakeholders.
