Three Strategies to Improve Training and Education in Post-Acute and Long-Term Care

It was such a pleasure to attend AMDA – The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine’s Annual Conference in person this year in Tampa, FL. While webinars and virtual meetings keep us connected throughout the year, nothing beats in-person interaction during a conference session. The questions and discussion from conference attendees in the session “Resident Engagement in Care Interactions Among Residents With Dementia: Promoting Positive Care” (chaired by Rachel McPherson, PhD) really got me thinking about how we orient, train, and educate new staff members — many of whom may have limited health care experience — to effectively communicate with and provide care for frail, medically complex, and cognitively impaired patients in our PALTC communities.
