With the population aging rapidly, the need for age- and cognitive impairment-friendly workflows within flexible healthcare systems is more critical than ever. Statistics indicate that by 2050, the global population aged 60 and over is expected to reach 2.1 billion, nearly double the number in 2015. Moreover, rates of dementia are on the rise, with an estimated 10 million new cases worldwide every year, which will greatly impact an already burdened healthcare system. Despite these trends, the average physician spends only a fraction of their training time (approximately 0.5%) rotating in geriatrics, highlighting the urgent need for consultation in bringing specific expertise in these populations and their care challenges to assist with integrating workflows tailored to older adults and those with cognitive impairments. Our consulting services assist healthcare systems with seamlessly integrating age- and cognitive impairment-friendly workflows into their existing frameworks. Our approach focuses on:

 

• Workflow analysis: Conducting thorough assessments of current workflows to identify areas for improvement, adaption, and efficiency, with an eye to reducing costs incurred by unnecessary hospitalizations.

• Stakeholder engagement: Collaborating closely with healthcare professionals, administrators, caregivers, and patients to ensure that proposed changes are inclusive and effective.

• Technology integration: Recommending and implementing the use of advanced available technologies to optimize workflows.

• Training and education: Providing comprehensive in-service training to equip staff with the knowledge and competence needed to deliver high-quality care to older adults and individuals with cognitive impairment.

 

By prioritizing empathy, innovation, and inclusivity, our consulting services empower healthcare systems to deliver personalized and compassionate care to every patient, regardless of age or cognitive ability.
