Value of Oral Health Assessments for Older People with Memory Complaints Visiting a Memory Clinic for a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment
The risk of memory complaints and cognitive decline increases with age, leading to many older adults being referred to memory clinics for cognitive screening including a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA). Although CGA covers medical, cognitive and social domains, it commonly omits an assessment of oral health, despite evidence linking poor oral health to cognitive impairment and reduced quality of life. This study assessed the value of inc…
Travel burden for patients with multimorbidity – Proof of concept study in a Dutch tertiary care center
The geographic representation of patients with multimorbidity and their travel burden varied but coincided locally with lower SES and older age in the general population. Future studies should aim on identifying patients with high travel burden and low SES, creating opportunity for adequate (remote) care coordination
Clusters of medical specialities around patients with multimorbidity – employing fuzzy c-means clustering to explore multidisciplinary collaboration
Background: The increasing prevalence of multimorbidity challenges hospital care organization. Hospital care is structured around medical specialties and focused on separate treatment of individual organ systems. Consequently, patients with multimorbidity visit multiple healthcare professionals and have high healthcare utilization with a risk of interactions and contradictory treatments if multidisciplinary coordination is absent. Organizational …
Prevalence and recognition of cognitive impairment in hospitalized older patients
Background: It is estimated that over one-third of hospitalized older patients have cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment directly impacts care across all disciplines during and after hospitalization. Recognition of cognitive impairment is important to provide integrated, person-centred care, involve relatives and informal caregivers in the care plan, prevent adverse outcomes, and identify people that need support after discharge. However, p…
A hospital care coordination team intervention for patients with multimorbidity
Objective: To develop and evaluate a hospital care coordination team intervention for patients with multimorbidity and multiple specialists at the outpatient clinic Study setting: A middle-large teaching hospital (542 beds) in the Netherlands Study design: Practice-based, participatory pilot study with mixed-methods, using the Framework for Developing and Evaluating Complex Interventions. The intervention consisted of an intake, a comprehensive r…
Closing the Gap
Introduction: Multidisciplinary communication and collaboration are of utmost importance in order to transition from fragmented and disease-centered care to patient-centered care for people with multimorbidity. Interdisciplinary coordination of a care plan is a vital part of this collaboration, yet can take many different forms. Our primary aim is to uncover the existing pathways of multidisciplinary communication and collaboration to reach an in…
Prioritized health outcomes of acutely hospitalized older patients
Background: The population is ageing, leading to an increase in older patients visiting the Emergency Department (ED) and acute hospitalizations. Ageing is often accompanied by the presence of multiple chronic diseases, known as multimorbidity. This presence of multimorbidity challenges the application of treatment guidelines, that are generally focused on treating a single disease. Consequently, choosing the most fitting treatment option for the…
Goals of older hospitalized patients with multimorbidity
Background: The increased prevalence of older patients, often presenting with multimorbidity, challenges the traditional disease-focused approach in hospital care. To improve healthcare for older hospitalized patients with multimorbidity, patient-centered healthcare is recognized by experts as essential. An important aspect of patient-centered care is aligning healthcare to personal goals. From literature, we know that older adults rate life enjo…
Frailty among Older People during the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic in The Netherlands
Restrictive measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic may cause problems in the physical, social, and psychological functioning of older people, resulting in increased frailty. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to assess the prevalence and characteristics of frailty, to examine differences in perceived COVID-19-related concerns and threats between frail and non-frail people and to identify variables associated with frailty in the first wave of …
