Health care contact days for older adults with the health system - it is a burden on patients and caregivers to see us and patients may prefer to spend their time in activities other than medical visits.

Blood based biomarkers for AD - could be helpful for differentiating from other forms of dementia but not helpful for screening.

Ethical considerations in decision making - important to move beyond the binary! Sharing decisions and seeking counsel is seen as wise in people with capacity but as weakness in people who lack capacity

111

Jen Woodard, MD @jawoodardmd.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

Reframe the capacity question - optimize mental status first (delirium, meds)! Can we increase community support? Specifically identify domains of capacity - global, medical decisions, placement/discharge planning, or financial

100

Jen Woodard, MD @jawoodardmd.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

Capacity (from a psychological perspective) - need to have some functional abilities (express a choice, rationale, comprehension, choice in line with expressed values). Usually financial capacity is the first domain with concern but not always recognized.

Cultural and ethnical strategies for BPSD in care transitions - often these are triggered responses! How can we assess what is behind the triggers?

Management of BPSD: still no perfect options! Education and managing care teams is a big key to success

BPSD is present in more than 75% of dementia patients, more common in care settings than in the community @amergeriatrics.bsky.social #ags25

@amergeriatrics.bsky.social *strongly supports* research on the health of older LGBTQI+ older adults - especially in the face of the current grant cuts by the current administration. We need to continue collecting data to highlight this population!

If only there was some objective way to assess for likely UTI risk and testing that didn't rely on urine odor or color - if anyone is developing some tool to guide testing in older adults, I desperately want in!

Requiring patients receiving palliative support services to come to a clinic for an appointment that very easily could have been done via telemedicine is akin to torture.
