Interdisciplinary Community Care
Webinar Series 8 - Care closer to home
When
Presented by
Integrated care for older people with frailty has a growing evidence base. Many countries are adopting new models of specialist multidisciplinary assessment, care and support in the community to improve continuity and coordination of care and enable older people to maintain their functional ability and independence for as long as possible. This webinar continues the theme of proactive and integrated comprehensive geriatric assessment in the community.
We heard examples of assessment and targeted interventions co-ordinated by multidisciplinary teams of healthcare, social care, community and voluntary service partners working together in communities in North Lanarkshire, Scotland and in Cork and Kerry in the Republic of Ireland. Presenters will describe how the older person and their carer or family are involved in developing a personalised care plan based on their goals and preferences, and how professionals provide case management support across the interface between care settings and services.
