Reynolds Department of Geriatric Medicine Director, OUHSC Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Program Co-Director, Oklahoma Healthy Aging Initiative (OHAI) Director, OHAI Geriatric Rural TelehealthProgram

34 Special Considerations: Outline 1. Unique characteristics to our state 2. Special issues specifically relevant to older adults 3. Medical issues prevalent in older adults for which telehealth is beneficial 4. Issues unique to communication with older adults via telehealth 5. Patient and caregiver satisfaction

35 1. Special Considerations: Oklahoma Pockets of extreme poverty Low levels of physical activity Poor health literacy Low utilization of screenings Lack of care coordination Rural populations Cultural diversity

36 2. Appeals of Telemedicine for Geriatrics Frailty Visual Impairment Hearing Impairment Dizziness Syncope Malnutrition Eating and Feeding Problems Urinary Incontinence

37 Appeals of Telemedicine for Geriatrics Gait Impairment and Falls Osteoporosis Dementia Behavioral Problems in Dementia Delirium Sleep Problem Pressure Ulcers and Wound Care Polypharmacy

38 Appeals of Telemedicine for Geriatrics Frailty Mobility and Balance Presence of Cognition/Memory Problem Mood Disorder Polypharmacy Multicomorbidities Skin Disorders Interdisciplinary Team Approach Home Care

39 3. Appeals of Telemedicine for Geriatrics-Special Issues Problems with the older driver: Although the number of crashes among older drivers is low... The number of crashes per mile driven and the likelihood of serious injury and death are higher than for any other age group except young adults 16 to 24 years old

40 3. Appeals of Telemedicine for Geriatrics-Special Issues Challenges of Availability of Social Supports Caregiver Burden

41 4. Cultural Considerations and Communication Use a well-lit room Avoid backlighting Minimize extraneous noise Minimize interruptions

42 4. Cultural Considerations and Introduce yourself Address patient by last name Face the patient directly Sit at eye level Speak slowly Communication Ask open-ended questions: What would you like me to do for you? Inquire about hearing deficits; raise voice volume accordingly Allow ample time for patient to answer

43 Cultural Considerations Never assume that any person s cultural background dictates his or her health choices or behavior Use respectful verbal and nonverbal communication Watch for body language cues

44 Cultural Considerations Use a well-lit room Avoid backlighting Minimize extraneous noise Minimize interruptions

51 The OHAI Geriatric Rural Telehealth Program - Culturally Competent Outreach Conclusion: We need partners

52 The OHAI Geriatric Rural Telehealth Program - Culturally Competent Outreach: Partners Begin with respect Learn from the community Build personal relationships with target audience Increase accessibility Maintain presence within each community

53 The OHAI Geriatric Rural Telehealth Program - Culturally Competent Outreach Partnership Considerations: Cross-sector partnerships Partnering should be driven by results, not partner types Focus on partnership added value Search for common links

54 The OHAI Geriatric Rural Telehealth Program - Culturally Competent Outreach The OHAI Geriatric Telehealth Program serves to augment, yet is not intended to entirely replace, face-to-face relationships for our current generation of older rural Oklahomans... the sine wave of new ideas...
