#acep24 off to a great start at the geriatric preconference! I learned from so many great programs. Is ISAR the best tool for screening? Should we inform people if we have a concern for cognitive impairment? Diagnosis it? Come to more #geriED events to learn more!

@replynickel @TEspejo_ @EDbingi @AcademicEmerMed @bcmaughan @davidcarr333 Thanks @replynickel and team for this great work. More evidence that a fall evaluation in the #geriED should be tailored to the patient and their circumstances and not one size fits all.

Congratulations to @CUAnschutz @DenverHealthMed & first author Dr. Sarah Wendel on her publication on how a digitally embedded hospice and palliative care ED pathway - which benefits patients - can also improve operations.

Let’s treat fall risk as the important prognostic sign that it is and improve fall risk assessment and care from the ED.

Using the most restrictive definition (≥3), almost one in two older adult ED patients with suspected pneumonia experienced functional decline including one in five discharged patients. #geriatrics https://t.co/hY5NinChKZ

Who is more likely to be found at fault when a car hits a pedestrian? According to a new @OhioState study, the built environment – especially the types of roads & the amount of access to marked crosswalks – plays a major role. https://t.co/cWhz7xZVBY

@DanyaKhoujah No evidence for anticholinergics for treatment of benign positional vertigo! 😵‍💫 Stop giving older adults potentially harmful medications and start referring them to vestibular physical therapy. Thanks @DanyaKhoujah and team

October is domestic violence awareness month. Are you asking the questions? Are you screening your patients? Are you creating a safe open space for these conversations?
