Age-Friendly Health and the 4Ms<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Utah Geriatric Education Consortium Lecture from April 17, 2020<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ellen Flaherty, PhD, APRN, AGSF, Director of Dartmouth Centers for Health and Aging, joined us to delve into the topic of Age-Friendly Health Systems and the 4Ms. She gave an insightful presentation highlighting what the 4Ms of an Age-Friendly Health System are, what an Action Community is, the role the Northern New England GWEP has played in the Action Community, and how to use billable Medicare visits to help achieve status as an Age-Friendly Health System. She also helped us understand how we can apply the Age-Friendly Health System model to the community setting, not just in a large health system or acute care where it was created. She then answered questions from attendees about her presentation and experience in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stress First Aid for Long Term Care Staff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Finger Lakes Geriatric Education Center is pleased to announce the launch of our latest free online educational module, Stress First Aid for Long Term Care Staff<\/strong>.   We know that our longer term care settings have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 with high rates of infection and mortality of vulnerable residents, while the direct care workforce in these settings have been the unsung heroes providing compassionate care in incredibly challenging circumstances.  Our front-line workers deserve the best support and training in these challenging times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stress First Aid for Long-Term Care<\/strong> is a self-care and peer support model adapted specifically for long-term care health care personnel (CME and SW continuing education credits are available).  It was developed in partnership by the University of Rochester Finger Lakes Geriatric Education Center, Ithaca College Gerontology Institute, and the National Center for PTSD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It outlines what strategies work to prevent and counter ageism, identifies gaps and proposes future lines of research to improve our understanding of ageism.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
