Instead, they re amazingly intentional about how they create and drive the culture they want to have. How they do it is the topic of this discussion.

Healthcentric Advisors This session will lead a timely and important discussion of Rhode Island s older adult population with behavioral health needs. Emerging data suggest that along with the population growth of adults 65 years and above we will see a concurrent increase in the prevalence of mental health disorders among older adults that will impact individuals in both community and institutional settings nationally. Currently, residents in the nursing home population with mental health disorders surpass the number with mental health disorders in all other healthcare settings. This trend of an increasing population with behavioral health needs has been noted by facilities in Rhode Island, inclusive of residents who are younger than their traditional population. These disorders and related behavioral symptoms are often associated with increased utilization and poor health outcomes. This session has four main objectives: Promote an understanding of the local behavioral health/aging landscape through presentation of Medicare claims data, inclusive of the prevalence of mental health disorders among nursing home residents and behavioral health drivers of hospital admissions and readmissions; Discuss implications for our state s aging services, including impact on staff stability and managing challenging behaviors; Promote an understanding of disclosure of information what nursing homes can expect; and Discuss where to go for information and how to stay current on what is happening in the healthcare community.
