Research led by St. Michael's Hospital's Dr. @tara_kiran found patients and caregivers across Ontario consistently prioritized insufficient home care as the biggest challenge to overcome after being released from hospital. https://t.co/b2z8vNwI0e

@AGardhouse Thanks for sharing ! Nice to have a bit more evidence in this tricky area!

On average, OECD countries spend 65% of their #longtermcare dollars on care in designated buildings like nursing homes & only 35% on home-based care. Canada spends 87% of our #longtermcare dollars on care in designated buildings and only 13% on home-based care. #cdnpoli

[Nathan Stall @NathanStall]

Beautiful piece on caregiving by @audreymdmph in @NEJM. Makes me recall something @BJGoldlist told me early on in my training; dementia is such a cruel illness because familes mourn the loss of their loved one twice...first when they lose their faculties, and second when they die

Our commentary on an important study published today in @CMAJ by Dr. Jennifer Watt, @Tara_Gomes, @sebskill, @geridrugho @ktstihr and colleagues: https://t.co/fKMboXsJL7. Bottom line...there is currently no universally safe drug therapy for BPSD. @WCRInstitute @ihpmeuoft @UofT_DoM

[Nathan Stall @NathanStall]

Very relevant to geriatric medicine. Patients at highest risk for UGIB and most likely to benefit from PPI co-therapy were older, resided in a nursing home, had other cardiovascular disease, and met criteria for frailty. cc @geri_doc @GeriMedJC @camilla_wong @EricWong_MD @EWidera

A great new "drug" improves overall survival in advanced cancer patients in meta-analysis. It is is cross-tumor effect. Amazing findings -- it is called "multidisciplinary palliative care". #SupportiveCare #hpm @chadinabhan @NotesOnNursing @SupportiveOnc @NCISymptomMgmt

Almost 30 years since @sharon_inouye introduced the CAM for #delirium. Why is accurate use still so challenging?
