Reseña del libro "Hospitalists` Guide To The Care Of Older Patients (en Inglés)"

Hospitalists Guide To The Care Of Older Patients Is An Up - To - Date, Practical Reference In Geriatric Medicine For Hospitalists And Any Physician Or Nurse Working In The Hospital Setting Who Provides Care For Older Patients. The Text Covers Key Topics In The Care Of Older Patients That Are Most Essential To The Day - To - Day Practice Of Hospital Medicine. The Specific Aims And Scope Of The Book Are Informed By The Nexus Of The Skills And Training Of Hospitalists, The Needs And Vulnerabilities Of Older Hospitalized Patients As Different From Younger Patients With Similar Diagnoses, And The Current Hospital Practice Environment. With The Hospitalist And Other Hospital - Based Healthcare Staff As The Intended Readership (As Opposed To Administrators Or Non - Physician Health Care Providers), The Books Emphasis Is On Providing Tools To Translate What Is Known About The Unique Needs Of Older Patients Into Steps That Can Be Immediately Implemented By Hospitalists To Improve Care And Limit Avoidable Morbidity Among Older Hospitalized Patients. Specific Aims Of The Book Include: Presentation Of A Framework For Care Of Older Hospitalized Patients That Includes Pre - Morbid Conditions, Patient And Family Values, Functional Status, And Post - Hospital Care; In Addition To The Traditional Focus On Diagnosing And Treating Specific Conditions. Informing Hospitalists Of The Rationale For Specific Recommendations Based On Best Evidence Regarding The Epidemiology, Risk Factors, And Best Measure To Prevent Or Treat Complications Of Hospitalization Among Older Patients. Providing Practical Recommendations To Hospitalists To Improve Care Of Older Patients By: Incorporating Methods To Identify Hidden Morbidities Other Than Presenting Conditions In Routine Assessments; Changing Routine Care Protocols (E. G. , Mobilization, Medications For Symptom Management) To Lower The Risk Of In - Hospital Complications (E. G. , Delirium, Falls). Explicitly Accounting For Prognosis In Designing Management Plans; Eliciting Patient And Family Values In Goals For Care, And Incorporating Them Into Care Planning; And Directing The Discharge Process To Account For Patients Functional Status, Wishes And Values, And Available Resources. Although A Large Body Of Literature Already Exists Relevant To Physician Care Of Older Adults, Most Of This Information Is Targeted For Primary Care Physicians Or Geriatric Medicine Specialists. Few Resources Exist To Promote Practices To Reduce Morbidity Into Routine Hospital Care. Hospitalists Guide To The Care Of Older Patients Is The Only Book Available That Addresses The Special Needs Of Hospitalists By Providing Practical Information Focused On Challenges In The Care Of Hospitalized Older Adults
