#WeightStigma is harmful in so many ways for young people, yet they experience it from all facets of their life: friends, family, teachers, and even healthcare providers. As providers and advocates, let's continue working towards creating spaces where our young people can feel comfortable in a #stigmafree environment while receiving care for obesity and other needs. How can we do that? ✔ increase awareness for personal biases ✔ provide more experiential learning opportunities for providers ✔ offer additional trainings to improve patient communication ... and more Check out the full article below from myself and colleague, Stephen Cook, MD, MPH!

Proud to share our latest publication 'Effectiveness of mHealth Interventions to Improve Pain Intensity and Functional Disability in Individuals With Hip or Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis' in Archive of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (https://lnkd.in/gSH98iiy) Our study highlights the significant potential of mHealth to improve pain and functional disability, particularly when combined with patient education, for patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis. Digital health is a game-changer for rehabilitation services, especially in remote areas where access to healthcare professionals is limited. Our research underscores the value of mHealth in providing essential rehabilitation and education to patients despite the global shortage of healthcare providers. This innovative approach can bridge the gap, ensuring patients receive the support they need to manage their conditions effectively. A huge shoutout to Jean MAPINDUZI and the team for their work Gérard NDACAYISABA Jonas Verbrugghe Annick Timmermans Oyéné Richard Kossi ! Now, I am looking forward to collecting data on the field and seeing the real-world impact of these interventions with OpenTeleRehab and Martin Jacobs Let's continue to innovate and improve patient care with technology and further integrating patients' education in digital solutions! 🚀 #HealthcareInnovation #mHealth #Osteoarthritis #Rehabilitation #PatientCare #RemoteHealthcare #TeamWork

ICYMI: Cleveland Clinic Relies on Qr8 Health for Dementia Screening “In the realm of healthcare, the need for early detection of dementia remains a crucial yet unmet necessity. What's promising is the progress made by Qr8 Health, aimed at facilitating screening for early detection of cognitive impairment and potentially improving intervention outcomes within primary care."--Zach Eisen, Principal, Ventures, Digital Health & Medical Devices 👉 Cleveland Clinic launched #Qr8CognitionSuite in clinics for Medicare patients aged 65 and older during their #MedicareAnnualWellnessVisit.

Seeing the Same GP: A Win-Win for Patients and Doctors Seeing the same GP improves patient health and reduces the workload for family doctors, according to one of the largest studies of its kind. Researchers at the University of Cambridge and INSEAD business school found there was a range of benefits when patients have a long-term relationship with their doctor. Seeing the same doctor during GP visits – a model known as continuity of care – meant people waited on average 18% longer between visits, compared with patients who saw different doctors. People did not take up more GP time in each consultation and the findings were particularly strong for older patients, those with multiple chronic illnesses, and people with mental health conditions. https://lnkd.in/ebdhQ3mj https://lnkd.in/eupRfBeg #generalpractice #continuity #care #complexcare #familymedicine #physicians #NHS #uk

Tomorrow, October 9th, 2024, Dr. William Mansbach, will partner with LeadingAge PA to present, 'Reducing Late-Day Confusion in People with Dementia: An Innovative and Practical Approach'. This webinar is free to LeadingAge PA members. Non-member rate is $80. Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are very common in residents with dementia. Perhaps the most challenging types are those that occur as part of the sundowning (late-day confusion) syndrome. Currently, there are very few intervention models that demonstrate success in reducing symptom frequency and severity. Too often, the primary (and often only) intervention is medication-based. While medications are often necessary, they are generally not sufficient. This presentation will discuss the interprofessional model and present evidence of its effectiveness using a clinical case. Healthcare staff, clinicians, and leaders working with residents with dementia should find this presentation to be highly innovative and practical. Register here: https://lnkd.in/eVPcY6nF
