Improving Sustainability of BC's Home and Community Care SystemBCCPA
In the face of unprecedented growth in the seniors population, health systems across Canada are challenged to ensure sustainability while addressing consumer expectations and respecting the wishes of individuals to remain independent as long as possible. Waitlists for access to continuing care services, and the high numbers of seniors that remain in hospital while no longer requiring acute care, demonstrate potential mismatches between supply and demand. As the population of seniors continues to grow, this disparity will continue to increase, unless practices within health systems change. Island Health will share its experiences supporting seniors to live independently.
This presentation was part of the learn and share events held across the country in March, 2014.
The presentation was by Learning for the Fourth Age and looks at the benefits of learning for people in care.

Person Centered Care through Integrating a Palliative Approach: Lessons from ...BCCPA
Aging adults are entering residential care facilities with more advanced disease than in the past and their length of stay is shorter. Most health care providers in these facilities do not receive targeted education and training in palliative care, nor are they confident to have crucial conversations about goals of care and end of life challenges with residents and their families. Due to limited capacity to manage predictable symptoms related to end of life and insufficient planning, many residents are transferred to hospital in crisis and die in the Emergency Department or acute care wards.
This presentation will showcase some of the initiatives by identifying common themes, unique features of each and strategies for success. Opportunity will be given for delegates to ask questions and brainstorm how lessons learned from these initiatives could inform the care provided at their own facility.

As a consequence of the double aging the number of elderly people in Indonesia will grow exponentially. Related to the total number of population of Indonesia the percentage of elderly people of 60 years is now already more than 20 million people, which will increase to 75 million people in 2050.
This demographic change will become a big burden if not anticipated in time. One of the best policies to attack this problem pro-actively is to introduce in Indonesia so-called community managed home-care, which means that professional home care teams with nurses are providing in-house care, in the community, by the community and for the community.
This webinar explored the motivators and barriers to active travel for people in their 50s and 60s, and by extension, what might work to get people in this age group walking or cycling as their default mode of travel.

"putting patients at the heart": the workforce implicationsJeremy Taylor
Slides I presented at the NHS Employers autumn workforce summit on 13 October 2015. They set out National Voices' perspective on what good person centred, community-focussed care looks like, and the implications for the healthcare workforce of making it real.
My presentation at the kick off event for the 29 vanguards who will be testing new models of care as part of the NHS Five Year Forward View. This highlights key issues for vanguards in making a reality of the commitment to a "new relationship with patients and communities", and explains the role of the People & Communities Board which I chair.

Expo is the most significant annual health and social care event in the calendar, uniting more NHS and care leaders, commissioners, clinicians, voluntary sector partners, innovators and media than any other health and care event.
Expo 15 returned to Manchester and was hosted once again by NHS England. Around 5000 people a day from health and care, the voluntary sector, local government, and industry joined together at Manchester Central Convention Centre for two packed days of speakers, workshops, exhibitions and professional development.
This year, Expo was more relevant and engaging than ever before, happening within the first 100 days of the new Government, and almost 12 months after the publication of the NHS Five Year Forward View. It was also a great opportunity to check on and learn from the progress of Greater Manchester as the area prepares to take over a £6 billion devolved health and social care budget, pledging to integrate hospital, community, primary and social care and vastly improve health and well-being.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Editor's Notes
Origins of the CC movement can date back to the mid-90’s with the founding of the Pioneer Network and the Eden Alternative.
Personal – Mindset change (You support residents in their own home, not “care for residents in a facility”)Organizational – Empower staff to support residents and build relationshipsPhysical – Make it look like home with artifacts of culture change
This is what most consumers think of when they think of a nursing home. “Don’t ever stick me in a nursing home!”Characterized by loss – individuality, dignity, independenceThe resident conforms to the organization
The organization conforms to the resident!Turn the institutionalized model on its head. Shift priorities. Provide choice. Support residents with dignity as the central focus.
Listen to residents! Understand who they are, what their needs are. Create a permeable environment that adapts to them and fosters growth.
PN – Amazing amount of resources on CC.

Summary of PCC from PN. One of so many resources they’ve developed.Compare the extreme sides of the spectrum.
Dr. Thomas’ Story…The three plagues are the most harmful to elders, not medical diagnoses.
How to combat the three plagues.
Founded by David Seaton, who owns and operates his own long term care communities for individuals with disabilities.He saw the same plagues in the population that he supported. Adapted the Eden Principles to better reflect individuals with disabilities.
General differences in the two groups, though very similar.Celebrate and respect the life and accomplishments of elders.Younger individuals need more support through life’s milestones.
CC is an ongoing process!Must start with leaning more and making it a priority (urgency). Leaders have to prove this through action.Must be willing to listen to feedback and make adjustments.There is no “end date” for CC implementation.Quality of care and quality of life will improve.Be flexible and courageous!
Very important to note that artifacts of CC are the choice of the elders.If something is added to the home to make it look “pretty,” it needs to be added only if the residents want it.
Success of CC completely hinges in support from quality leadership. Research has proven this. It is the only way that it can take root and grow.
There are many benefits that come out of CC, but they are not the main goal. Important to remember that the goal is to create a better place to work and live. Other benefits to business, etc. will come in its path.
CC accomplishes a quality of life increase, decrease turnover, save on cost of staff, increase family satisfaction, increase employee satisfaction.
Studies show abundant combined savings from increased staff retention and increased revenue from increased occupancy after CC implementation.
Satisfaction among residents, family, and staff are all linked. This helps an organization to be well-known in the industry among its competitors (word of mouth, happy employees and residents). Not uncommon for a CC home to have a waiting list for both residents and staff.
Boomers have never settled for the status quo. They will not quietly shuffle into the same institutionalized nursing homes they were forced to take their parents.Because of their sheer numbers, the long term care industry will have to listen to Boomers wants just as society has throughout their lifetime.
PN determined that once people know about CC, they want it! Almost 100% of people would prefer it. Once they know about it, they want to advocate for it.Can’t ignore what consumers want, or we won’t be able to keep our doors open.More and more people are going to learn about CC in the coming years.
CC Coalitions serve a huge role in raising awareness. Almost every state has one now. Awareness is growing and inevitable as we age!
Founded in the Summer of 2010Important to note that we are unique among state coalitions because we advocate for CC for elders and individuals with disabilities. We know that whatever the support structure, all people deserve to receive person-centered care.We strive to promote culture change principles and provide opportunities to learn more about CC.Our main educational offering is our annual symposiumThe CC movement needs provider champions to share their experiences and get involved! TxCCC is here to support that however we can.

Where do I start? Always the question that comes after the “awareness” phase.You can start simple with some excellent online tools…
This is a brief list of resources. There are many more out there.
This is an online and free tool.It gives an incredibly comprehensive description of CC and how it can be successfully implemented in small steps.Includes very practical tools from providers.Good discussion of why CC works and benefits the organization and its people.It’s online and free!
Helps you to see things in your home you may not see.It asks many detailed questions that can help you stay focused on CC stepsBuilds from very basic to more comprehensive topics to help you set goals.You input your data and can revisit it – asks that you complete it at least 2x per year.It’s online and free!Side note: One of the developers was Karen Schoeneman, who is TxCCC’s keynote speaker at our second-annual symposium.
This is a list of just a few resources with extensive information and inspiration.
The ultimate goal of CC is to create a better place to work…
And a better place to live.
Give yourself credit for small steps and remember the huge impact they have.Every journey begins somewhere.Celebrate victories, large and small.
This weblog posting can be found on Action Pact’s website. It is a good opportunity to get attendees to think about the dining experiences in their own communities.CC can begin in the kitchen (“the heart of the home”), so it is a good activity to get people thinking about a CC starting place.
Challenge attendees to answer these questions and take these ideas with them.
