Webinar Recording: Filling the Gap Between Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine

Faculty:
Daniel R. Hoefer, MD
CMO Outpatient Palliative Care, Sharp HospiceCare

Geropalliative care involves the thoughtful application of what can and should be done to avoid needless suffering and to enhance quality of life for all older adults. There remains a gap between traditional patient management and palliative management. Understanding the differences in what outcomes are measured, what information patients are seeking, and how geriatric syndromes define these changes are critical to best care practices. Dr. Daniel Hoefer, a family medicine and palliative care doctor with Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group, will discuss the changing paradigm of geriatric patients, the risks of treatment associated with geriatric syndromes, and the crossover with palliative care. He will also share practical tips for improving outcomes in an advanced geriatric population.
