We aimed to examine changes in the incidence of injurious falls before, during, and after stroke, and to identify risk factors of injurious falls before and after stroke diagnosis.
This webinar will explore how physicians can elevate their clinical documentation, align with regulatory expectations, and improve patient outcomes. Through the lens of recent CMS and OIG guidance, attendees will gain actionable insights on audit readiness, risk-adjusted coding, and timely follow-up care—while learning how modern tools like EHR for Practice Groups can support both compliance and performance in today’s VBC environment.
To investigate the association among 5 clinical functional performance tests—single-leg stance, gait speed, tandem gait, Timed Up and Go (TUG), and forward step— as indicators of functional decline in older adults, and to examine whether these associations vary across different age groups.
Bedside chest ultrasonography, when integrated with clinical data, is an accurate tool for improving the diagnostic process of many respiratory diseases. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a chest ultrasonographic screening program in nursing homes for detecting coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19...
To perform a systematic review with meta-analysis to verify the effects of multicomponent and resistance training on the physical performance in older adult residents in long-term care, as well as to compare these modalities.
The goal of this study was to describe outcomes of long-term nursing facility (NF) residents treated for one of 6 conditions on-site in the NF and to compare outcomes to those treated for the same conditions in the hospital.
Because of an increasing need to build capacity for end-of-life care, improving access to palliative care is a priority. Where a physician practices (eg, hospital, outpatient clinic, home) directly relates to the type of service and the stage of illness at which care is provided. In this study, we describe...
Little evidence exists on costs or cost-effectiveness of online interventions for caregivers of people living with dementia. We aimed to assess cost-effectiveness of online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for dementia caregivers with mild-to-moderate depression/anxiety, with or without telephone support...
Early identification of older people at risk of falling is the cornerstone of fall prevention. Many fall prediction tools exist but their external validity is lacking. External validation is a prerequisite before application in clinical practice. Models developed with electronic health record (EHR) data ar...
