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

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...

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
