🚑 I say it a lot -- seniors with dementia end up in the ER and hospital way too often. But to hear it from a ER doctor, who sees it in technicolor everyday, puts a much more dramatic point on this rapidly growing problem. Super humbling to hear from Seattle Emergency Room MD Tara Garland last night on what's really happening in our ERs. And, why it's so critical we get ahead of it. Really hard to hear these stories, because many (if not most) are entirely avoidable. Keeping seniors with dementia out of the ER and hospital is exactly what Rippl does through our unique relationship with the Alzheimer's Association®. Called the 'Dementia Care Navigation Service', we wrap around dementia patients and families early, getting them the support and care they need to ensure the ER doesn't become their go-to, like it has for so many families. Remarkably, this program is entirely free to patients with traditional Medicare. Big, big thanks to Kathy Jacobi Hansen, Jim Wilgus and Alzheimer's Association, Washington State Chapter for the shout-out about our partnership at last night's community gathering supporting Seattle's upcoming Help and Hope Dinner (May 31st!). Help and Hope raises $ to fund disease research and innovation at the Alzheimer's Association®. Rippl is a proud sponsor of Help and Hope this year, get tickets here: https://lnkd.in/gC78Giud. Come join us for an amazing cause! #moregooddays #LIVINGwithdementia

Coordinated care is crucial for individuals with Alzheimer's and related dementias. A recent study in JAMA Network Open found that dual-eligible beneficiaries with ADRD enrolled in Fully Integrated Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plans experienced fewer preventable hospitalizations and readmissions. This is another validation for the specialized, coordinated, longitudinal care model that Rippl has developed. Fewer preventable hospitalizations and readmissions equate to real cost savings and benefit patients and caregivers with #moregooddays.

ICYMI - Ipsit Vahia, MD & Joe Chung dropped some serious #AI knowledge during Rippl Wavemakers Episode 2 this morning. "It's actually quite simple...the focus has been and should be and hopefully always will be the person with dementia and their families and caregivers." Webinar Pro Tip: having a true professional like Dr. Vahia on the panel is essential when they randomly have to evacuate their building for a fire alarm mid-session. 🔥 Access the full recording here: https://lnkd.in/gTgwqhrT
