Providing knowledge and education to seniors, caregivers,
significant others and healthcare providers in Acadiana
eQHealth Solutions and our community partners in Acadiana are participating in a joint effort directed
toward improving the quality of healthcare for the elderly population with chronic disease in our area,
focused on provider and community efforts to increase health literacy and reduce avoidable 30-day
hospital readmissions.
Over the past 20 months, our coalition has studied and analyzed drivers of readmission, applying focused
interventions addressing these drivers. We are ready for the next step - bringing the valuable resources
found in Acadiana to the attention of the community in order to increase awareness and provide a public
forum for achieving better health for seniors in our communities.
The following topics will comprise the major focus for our educational forum:
 Chronic disease education and programs to assist seniors in living with their disease
 Nutritional & Pharmaceutical needs of the senior citizen
 Transitioning to the next level of care: Legal, financial and decision making choices
 Resources available for in-home care setting
 Resources in our community to assist senior citizens and their caregivers
 Database creation to allow access of agencies to senior citizens, caregivers and healthcare
providers
If you are interested in participating and sharing your knowledge and resources with our community,
please complete the attached forms. The purpose of this forum is to educate the public, not for promoting a
business. We appreciate your time and support in this very important healthcare endeavor.
