Join our own culture change pundit Carmen Bowman, MHS, on her monthly web talk show. Actually, it's better than a talk show because you too can join the conversation by asking questions of Carmen and her guests. Carmen's smart look at culture change focuses on a wide variety of topics. She brings an insider's view of regulations, and reports on little changes happening in government, in attitude, in practice. Each month she will share culture change news and updates, amusing and heartwarming stories, and interview a guest on a relevant and timely topic.
Reducing Unnecessary Wheelchair Use
GUEST: Leslie Jarema, LNHA, Director of Health Services,
The Forest at Duke CCRC
Approximately two-thirds of nursing home residents are in wheelchairs the majority of the time. Although not talked about much, the negative, iatrogenic consequences of overuse of wheelchairs are many: accelerated loss of muscle mass, pressure sores, significant discomfort and physical strain from operating chairs which increase risks for falling, injuries from falls, depression and pneumonia. Older people's health, mobility and self-image can suffer from too much time in wheelchairs. They are treated as less able, even spoken to differently, promoting a cycle of helplessness. The Forest at Duke is part of a movement that gives priority to the well-being of residents and their caregivers - above the functions of the nursing home or convenience of the staff. Join us and our guest Leslie Jerema to learn how she led her community to use wheel chairs for transport only and helps residents be as active as possible.
Carmen's webinars are usually held the third Friday of each month except December, and run about an hour.
