Learning Objectives
The 15th Annual Geriatric Services Conference provides opportunities that support knowledge translation for day-to-day decision-making in the field of older adult care. System issues and culture change processes will be explored and promising directions discussed. Bodies of knowledge – research, best practices and ethics matters are integrated. As a result of attending and participating in this program, attendees will be able to:
1. Discuss types of transformative processes in culture change initiatives.
2. Identify societal shifts that are needed to better accommodate our aging demographic.
3. Describe strategies to promote mental health in older adults.
4. Discuss principles and clinical approaches for care of persons with dementia.
5. Apply knowledge of current and emerging best practices for several areas of geriatric care, such as co-morbidity challenges and support to family caregivers.
6. Identify and discuss approaches to interdisciplinary team collaboration within a person-centred culture of care.
7. Describe the WHO Global Dementia Observatory.
8. Discuss current and emerging methods of knowledge mobilization focusing on older adult health promotion and clinical care.
