5 Preface Whether practitioners are still in training, recently graduated, or deciding to change the direction or focus of their career paths, either by choice or necessity, they can find themselves immersed in the long-term care (LTC) arena. Any practitioner of LTC can be overwhelmed when confronted by an LTC system that is both complex and highly regulated, let alone taking care of patients that are challenging even to the most experienced among us. These patients are challenging not only because they have numerous chronic medical conditions and extensive and complicated medication regimens but also because of advanced age and frailty. As experienced clinicians, educators, and medical directors in LTC, we have written this guide for practitioners in hopes of continuing to improve the quality of care provided throughout the LTC continuum by imparting to practitioners the current knowledge in this field as well as the experience our chapter authors have acquired over many years working in LTC. Both The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine (AMDA) and its state chapters continue to work tirelessly to meet the LTC practitioner s needs. Even the most experienced practitioners who have taken AMDA s course on medical direction have commented on how much of the information on LTC care presented in the course is neither readily available nor frequently taught. The content of this guide for practitioners is aimed at filling this void. The chapters of this guide address the varied components of the LTC system as well as how to take care of the patients and residents living within it. Since the first edition of the guide was written, the LTC system has continued to evolve. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is promoting highquality cost-effective care through initiatives that encourage the use of innovation, technology, and collaboration to improve quality. Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and Population Health Management are two examples of CMS innovation, focusing on prevention and early treatment of chronic medical illness. Chapters on PACE, Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists and Physician Assistants, and the Department of Veteran Affairs Options were added to reflect the increase in community-based care that is being offered to our elders. The focus of some chapters was shifted as well. The first edition s chapter on Acute Change in Condition v
6 vi Preface was changed to reflect the increasing focus on Preventing Hospital Admissions and Readmissions that is seen in LTC today. All of the chapters were updated to include the latest innovations such as INTERACT II. As practitioners, we are all challenged by an ever-changing healthcare environment that entails bundling of healthcare services, value-based purchasing, transitions in care, medication reconciliation (including the recent CMS Quality Prescribing Initiative), PQRS reporting, HIPAA compliance (and possible audits), different electronic medical records at different healthcare settings, and EMR meaningful use. As editors of this guide, we hope these challenges will be less daunting with the information provided in this guide. The contributors to this guide are passionate about LTC and many have worked within AMDA to create and disseminate a knowledge base for practitioners through varied means such as AMDA s clinical practice guidelines, conferences, and white papers, all of which have served as resources to this guide. We hope that you find Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine an invaluable resource to complement your quest to optimize the care and living experience of your patients in LTC that supports patient-centered care as well as patient choice, well-being, dignity, and an improved quality of life. This guide is dedicated to Chris Laxton and the AMDA staff, and all our AMDA colleagues who have mentored both of us over the years, many of whom have written chapters for this guide. Philadelphia, PA Oklahoma City, OK Pamela A. Fenstemacher Peter Winn
7 Series Editor Introduction There is no better time for an update of Long-Term Care Medicine. Individuals over 65 represent the fastest-growing portion of the population in the United States, consume the highest proportion of the country s healthcare dollars, and often live in long-term care facilities or receive intensive outpatient home-based management for the latter portion of their lives. The editors, Drs. Fenstemacher and Winn, have extensive academic and practical experience in long-term care and have been involved in leadership positions with the American Medical Directors Association, which is the professional association for long-term care physicians. From this vantage point, they have selected authors who have both an academic and practical perspective on issues most relevant to the patients we take care of in long-term care facilities. The book s emphasis is on giving the practicing physician an accessible guide to understand and better manage the issues that come up in taking care of frail elderly patients. The book goes over the changing environment and regulations of long-term care. It does so by providing an expansive general overview of places and processes of care as well as details of care including chapters on wound care, dementia, delirium, rehabilitation, and many more. The book is readable, practical, interesting, and relevant. For this the editors and authors are owed our thanks.
