Understand principles of the key clinical domains of care in the LTC/Supportive Living (SL) setting: a) Assessment of the older adult b) Dementia, delirium, and depression c) Appropriate medication use and avoidance of polypharmacy d) Appropriate antipsychotic and benzodiazepine use e) Reduced physical and chemical restraint use f) Optimal pain and symptom management g) Management of acute change in condition and avoidance of hospital transfer and admission h) Prevention and management of wounds specifically decubitus ulcers i) Falls and harm prevention j) Optimal management of urinary incontinence including toileting planning k) Prevention and early intervention of infections (primarily UTI, pneumonia, wound and skin infections) l) Optimal and appropriate management of end stage chronic disease (i.e. CKD, CHF, IHD & COPD) m) End of life care 2. Understand the role of the physician in promoting quality of life for all residents in LTC/SL and how quality of life dimensions will often differ from quality of care (e.g. understanding selfdetermination in advanced dementia) Examples include: a) Safety, security & order (e.g. competent medical practice) b) Physical comfort (e.g. pain and symptom management and least restraint use) c) Enjoyment (e.g. mood & anxiety disorder management) d) Meaningful activity (e.g. appropriate medication management) e) Relationships (e.g. promotion of physicianpatient relationships) f) Functional competence (e.g. pain management) g) Dignity (e.g. management of urinary incontinence) h) Privacy (e.g. rounding in patients room) i) Autonomy and choice (e.g. acknowledging ‘risky’ choices) 3. Understand key principles of communication and decisionmaking in LTC/SL a) Goals of care designation in end stage dementia and frailty

Long  Term  Care  (LTC)/Supportive  Living  (SL)  R1  Rotation  Learning  Objectives:   1.   Understand  principles  of  the  key  clinical  domains  of  care  in  the  LTC/Supportive  Living  (SL)  setting:  a)   Assessment  of  the  older  adult  b)   Dementia,  delirium,  and  depression  c)   Appropriate  medication  use  and  avoidance  of  polypharmacy  d)   Appropriate  antipsychotic  and  benzodiazepine  use  e)   Reduced  physical  and  chemical  restraint  use  f)   Optimal  pain  and  symptom  management  g)   Management  of  acute  change  in  condition  and  avoidance  of  hospital  

transfer  and  admission  h)   Prevention  and  management  of  wounds  specifically  decubitus  ulcers  i)   Falls  and  harm  prevention  j)   Optimal  management  of  urinary  incontinence  including  toileting  planning  k)   Prevention  and  early  intervention  of  infections  (primarily  UTI,  

pneumonia,  wound  and  skin  infections)  l)   Optimal  and  appropriate  management  of  end  stage  chronic  disease  (i.e.  

CKD,  CHF,  IHD  &  COPD)  m)    End  of  life  care  

2.   Understand  the  role  of  the  physician  in  promoting  quality  of  life  for  all  residents  in  LTC/SL  and  how  quality  of  life  dimensions  will  often  differ  from  quality  of  care  (e.g.  understanding  self-­determination  in  advanced  dementia)        Examples  include:  a)   Safety,  security  &  order  (e.g.  competent  medical  practice)  b)   Physical  comfort  (e.g.  pain  and  symptom  management  and  least  

restraint  use)  c)   Enjoyment  (e.g.  mood  &  anxiety  disorder  management)  d)   Meaningful  activity  (e.g.  appropriate  medication  management)  e)   Relationships  (e.g.  promotion  of  physician-­patient  relationships)  f)   Functional  competence  (e.g.  pain  management)  g)   Dignity  (e.g.  management  of  urinary  incontinence)  h)   Privacy  (e.g.  rounding  in  patients  room)  i)   Autonomy  and  choice  (e.g.  acknowledging  ‘risky’ choices)  

3.   Understand  key  principles  of  communication  and  decision-­making  in  LTC/SL  

a)   Goals  of  care  designation  in  end  stage  dementia  and  frailty

b)   Working  with  families  to  understand  their  needs  while  representing  the  interests  of  the  patient  

c)   Care  conferences-­  purpose  and  outcomes  d)   Common  ethical  issues  and  systems  and  processes  for  resolution  

4.   Understand  the  system  of  Continuing  Care  and  how  it  integrates  with  the  overall  system  of  care  a)   The  journey  of  the  patient  in  the  current  system  b)   The  three  major  components:  Home  Care,  Long  Term  Care  and  

Supportive  Living,  how  they  relate  to  each  other  and  their  respective  goals  of  care  

c)   The  role  of  Community  Care  Access  and  Single  Point  of  Entry  d)   Key  demographics  and  trends  e)   Innovative  Continuing  Care  and  best  practice      

5.   Appreciate  the  collaborative  models  of  care  in  LTC/SL  and  the  roles  of  all  disciplines,  as  well  as  internal  and  external  resources  available  for  consultation  (e.g.  Mental  Health,  Palliative  care,  Wound  Care)  

6.   Know  about  the  key  forms  of  data  management  in  LTC/SL  a)   InterRAI/MDS  data  collection  for  needs  assessment  and  its  use  in  the  

generation  of  quality  indicators,  care  plans  and  application  in  funding  b)   Common  quality  indicators  and  benchmarking  (e.g.  antipsychotic  

utilization,  wounds,  pain  and  behaviour  mapping)
