OUTPATIENT GERIATRICS ROTATION FOR HOME CARE Course Description Both the In-Home Primary Care Program
of the Ralston Center and the VA Home Based Primary Care Program follow
panels of frail older patients who can no longer leave their homes to
receive primary care. Both programs use interdisciplinary team care
in the management of these patients. During the elective, residents
will make home visits with staff of both programs, attend team meetings,
and present one 10 minute discussion about an issue arising from a patient
chosen from those seen. Residents will also be given the opportunity
to choose one patient from their own panel of clinic patients; the resident
and housecalls staff will visit that patient together to provide a “home
care consultation” on the environment of care for that patient.
