At 纽约医院, 冰球突破提供扩展服务,以帮助正在经历功能和/或认知衰退的老年人. For those who are able to come in for treatment, we have the Center for Older Adults, and for those who have trouble traveling to their provider’s office, we have the Older Adult House Calls Program.
Center for Older Adults
老年人中心为发现日常活动变得更加困难的老年人提供全面的门诊咨询服务.
We’re most appropriate for older adults (over 65 years, usually) who have issues with any of the following:
- Balance, falling, or frailty
- Changes in thinking and memory
- Sleep (too much or too little)
- Weight loss or nutrition
- Weakness, fatigue, or chronic pain
- Polypharmacy (taking four or more medications)
- Complex comorbidities (several chronic diseases)
冰球突破提供的初步综合老年评估(CGA)包括三次访问,最终得出正式建议, which we call an action plan. 冰球突破将与患者的初级保健提供者密切沟通和合作-尽管重要的是要注意,冰球突破中心的工作人员不是初级保健提供者.
Older Adults House Calls Program
老年人上门服务项目为65岁及以上由于功能或认知限制而难以前往提供者办公室的老年人提供执业护士家访服务. 执业护士与患者的初级保健提供者办公室合作, 提供一次性急症类型访问,并在某些情况下根据需要进行短期随访.
A note for 供应商: referrals for this program should be placed through eCW (using the outgoing referral function) and assigned to Older Adults House Calls; direct patient referral information should be sent to our office fax number: (207) 384-7292. 一旦收到, 冰球突破将在1-2个工作日内联系患者并安排上门拜访. Evaluation notes are completed and forwarded to the patient’s primary care provider.
