1 Introduction to the Integrated Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine Fellowship Helen Fernandez, M.D., MPH Professor Fellowship Director, Geriatrics and Co-Director, Integrated Geriatrics and Palliative Care Brookdale Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

2 Acknowledgements Original concept and proposal to ABIM Incredible work from Dr. Nathan Goldstein, Dr. Robert Arnold and Christine Ritchie They identified overlaps and opportunities to seek about dual training

3 Disclosures None I am a Mets Fan

4 Objectives Review clinical importance for collaboration of geriatrics and palliative care Discuss educational imperative for integrated geriatrics and palliative care trainees Explain the ABIM/AAFP Pilot Integrated Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine Fellowship

5 Geriatrics and Palliative Care Needs 80% of Medicare beneficiaries have more than one chronic progressive medical condition These patients are the most likely to see their doctor, to be hospitalized and to die Most physicians now care for older individuals with multiple chronic progressive illnesses Fields are already working together to create shared agendas for areas of overlap (e.g. AGS-AAHPM collaboration)

6 Care For the Seriously Ill at the Turn of the Century (2000) Unprecedented gains in life expectancy: exponential rise in number and needs of Americans living with serious illness Cause of death shifted from acute sudden illness to chronic disease Untreated physical symptoms Unmet patient/family needs An unresponsive health care system facing enormous and increasing expenditures

7 GERIATRICS AND PALLIATIVE CARE WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP?

8 Specialty Based Care GERIATRICS PALLIATIVE CARE Morrison, S.

9 Morrison, Sean Patient Centered Care Well Older Adults Cancer Gait Disorders Stroke Preventive care Advanced Organ Failure Stable chronic dx Chronic Critical Illness Geriatric syndromes Frailty Peri-operative care Dementia Osteoporosis AIDS TBI Cancer (<65) Genetic/ Developmental Disorders Pediatric Oncology Cystic Fibrosis

10 Similarities Structure Emphasis on the interdisciplinary team Workforce issues Education Some shared competency domains Some overlap in the population served Courtesy of Dr. Christine Ritchie

11 Similarities Clinical Clinical care of older adults with serious illness and complex care needs Comprehensive and holistic care across continuum Attention to psychosocial needs Addresses the patient, family and loved ones as one unit requiring care Emphasis on the provision of care by an interdisciplinary team Courtesy of Dr. Christine Ritchie

12 Geriatrics and Palliative Care So, not only do professionals caring for older adults need to know about palliative care, palliative care specialists also need to know about issues that are specific to this aging population such as pharmacokinetic of medications, geriatrics syndromes as well as administrative and clinical issues associated with long term care facilities.

13 Current State of Training Geriatrics and palliative medicine fellowships are both clinically-focused one-year programs They do not allow enough time to provide trainees with educational or research skills By not adequately preparing young physicians to enter academic medicine, we limit their ability to improve the health care system for older adults with serious and chronic illness

14 Educational Need To meet the needs of this growing population more educators and researchers in geriatric palliative care are needed to build models of care, train the clinicians of the future, and be institutional change agents 1 palliative medicine MD for every 1,700 people with serious illness Only 7029 certified geriatricians

15 Clinical Requirements Trainees will demonstrate clinical competency in both geriatrics and palliative medicine over 16 months To do this we will take advantage of overlapping requirements Ambulatory care experiences will focus on older patients with chronic progressive illness

16 ABIM/AAFP Competency Based Integrated Geriatrics and Palliative Care Fellowship In 2011, ABIM approved an exception to the traditional individual geriatrics and palliative care In 2012, ABIM/AAFP approved Competency Based Integrated Fellowships In 2014, University of Texas at San Antonio was approved as a second pilot site

17 Examples of Overlapping Rotations Rotation Core Geriatrics Skills and Knowledge Core Palliative Care Skills and Knowledge Comment Inpatient Geriatrics Management of geriatric syndromes; complex medical management of older adults Communication about goals of care Medical care focused on decreasing the burden of illness Core requirement for geriatrics certification and emphasizes how the two fields are integrated at the patient s bedside. Home Care Management of frail older adults with complex medical problems and functional disability Continuing conversations about goals of care; knowledge of systems to assure symptom control and safety while patient at home Home care patients are older individuals with chronic complex disease. Balances keeping patients at home while maintaining the highest quality of life. Sub-Acute Rehab Management of complex, older, medically ill patients in the immediate postacute-hospitalization phase Management of pain and other symptoms, conversations about transition management and goals of care Patients need continued post-hospital management. Uncontrolled symptoms lead to decreased ability to participate in rehab. Transition discussions for patients that don t meet rehab goals.

18 Rotation Core Geriatrics Skills and Knowledge Core Palliative Care Skills and Knowledge Comment Geriatric Psychiatry Management of psychiatric symptoms in older adults Management of psychiatric symptoms in older adults Managing psychiatric symptoms in older adults is a core element of both geriatrics and palliative care. There is significant overlap between the two fields in terms of treating depression and delirium. Long-Term Care Management of chronic medical conditions in older patients with decreased functional ability Assuring benefits of treatment outweigh burdens; management of pain and other symptoms in the longterm care setting. Management of chronic medical conditions while assuring that the benefits of treatments outweigh burdens. Demonstration of how the two fields are integrated in the longterm care setting.

21 Expanded Clinical Rotations New combined geriatrics and palliative care outpatient clinic New referrals for older adults with serious chronic illness Consultative practice: pain, goals of care and nonpain symptoms Home Care Program Expand primary care patients to include hospice patients Expand our primary care and geriatrics consult service to address pain, goals of care and non-pain symptoms

22 Expanded Curriculum Combined Geriatrics and Palliative Care Journal Club Expanded Case Conference (include geriatrics and palliative care patients) Geriatrics and Palliative Care Core Topics Research curriculum Intensive Communication Skill Training Curriculum development and effective teaching curriculum Professional development (leadership, mentorship, administration, negotiation skills)

23 Evaluative Mechanisms Will combine mechanisms currently in use (e.g. written evaluations, checklists of observed behaviors, OSCEs) that will simultaneously evaluate competencies for both specialties All evaluations will be competency based Fellows must demonstrate clinical competency in all ACGME domains in both fields by the end of the 16 month clinical period before they move to the 8 months of professional development Similar evaluation materials will be used across all sites

24 Faculty Development Two faculty members work with the ABIM assessment and evaluation team to assure that evaluation mechanisms are thorough and adequately attend to each competency Faculty development assures that the local faculty are appropriately trained in the assessment of the core competencies within the fellowship program to assure reliability between evaluators

25 Advisory Panel To assure oversight and that fellows meet required competencies, we have a 6 person advisory board: Prominent clinician educator from geriatrics from outside of these institution Prominent clinician educator from palliative medicine outside these institution Representative of the American Board of Internal Medicine Meet yearly to discuss the progress of each program and review curriculum Assures cross-site standardization of curriculum and evaluative mechanisms

26 National Initiatives UT San Antonio started integrated fellowship in 2014 Yale will start integrated fellowship in 2016 UPMC approved to start in 2017 Curricular milestones in geriatrics published in 2012 EPAs in geriatrics published in 2014 EPAs in palliative medicine published in 2015 Working group aligned curriculum milestones with reporting milestones Working group collecting and developing assessment tools and convert to toolbox

27 UT San Antonio Two pre-existing fellowships Multicultural environment Ethics Curriculum Allows fellows to devote more time to QI/Research/Curricular projects

28 YNHHS Geriatrics-Palliative Care 2 Fellows Fellowship Rotate in New Haven and Bridgeport Geriatrics and Palliative Care at both sites Professional development (8 months) will focus on Health System issue

29 Benefits of Health System fellowship Fellows Complementary Hospitals: Tertiary Care & Community Hospital Multiple potential sites for rotations Collaborate with Geriatrics & Palliative Care fellows Bridgeport Hospital Fellows for slots Yale-New Haven Hospital Senior leadership very supportive of Health System fellowship Yale New Haven Health System Professional Development project

30 Leadership Curriculum Quality Improvement and patient safety training Healthcare administration Rural training Advocacy/policy training Team training Understanding and leading change
