Happening Tonight! Join us for an intimate and insightful conversation with Dr. Lauren Daley as we delve into the challenges and rewards of palliative care. This free event will explore the importance of providing compassionate care in a medical system that can often feel fragmented. Dr. Daley will offer valuable insights on how families, doulas, and medical professionals can collaborate to provide the best possible support through the palliative care journey. After losing her mother unexpectedly, Dr. Daley was drawn to palliative medicine and is deeply committed to helping others develop a healthier relationship with death. She believes that embracing death can transform how we live and is dedicated to fostering open, honest discussions about life's most meaningful experiences. This event is perfect for anyone who is interested in offering or receiving compassionate end-of-life care. Bring your thoughts, questions, and an open heart as we explore our shared humanity. Hosted by Death & Dying Network International (DDNI), a welcoming community for anyone passionate about death education. We lead brave conversations about death, dying, and end-of-life planning, while building meaningful connections across all walks of life. https://lnkd.in/e82eZjq4 #DeathAndDyingNetworkInternational #DDNI #DrLaurenDaley #PalliativeCare #EndOfLifeCare #CompassionateCare #DeathEducation #Doulas #FamilySupport #OpenConversations #LifeAndDeath #HealthcareChallenges #Mortality #DeathPositivity #CourageousConversations #PalliativeMedicine

Researchers have identified that 32% of individuals over age 70 and approximately 50% of those over age 80 experience a loss of physical function (activities of daily living) during hospitalization. Implementing specific geriatric models of care can improve hospitalization-associated outcomes, such as: ⤴ Increased likelihood of discharge home instead of to a facility ⬇ Decreased incidence of delirium ⬇ Decreased mortality risk ↘ Shortened hospital length of stay (LOS) ↘ Lower or equal costs of hospital care Earlier patient mobilization programs in hospitals, such as QCH's "Get Moving Team," decrease the risk of functional decline during hospitalization and significantly reduce hospital care costs in Ontario. Specialized geriatric nursing resources that provide clinical expertise in our Emergency Department team will deliver person-centered, high-quality care and provide faster access to the necessary services within hours of hospitalization for our patients living with dementia. The caregivers of our most vulnerable patients deserve early navigation support that is practical and useful in our Emergency Department. QCH is very well-known for it's innovative lens on geriatric and dementia care. Highlighting initiatives that benefit our older adults is so crucial to ensuring they become sustainable, receive permanent funding, and can be replicated across hospitals in Ontario. The work always continues in improving the lives of our older adults in acute care hospitals. #innovationinhealthcare #personcenteredcare #geriatrics #hospital
