The #ARM23 sessions are great but so are the opportunities for face-to-face time spent with colleagues at the end of the day - including this esteemed crew with expertise in long term care, geriatrics, implementation, & caregiving @DurhamADAPT @vahsrd

Jo Jacobs & team found that Black Veterans develop functional limitations at earlier ages & experience faster functional decline. Health systems need to track Veterans’ function earlier to ensure Black Veterans are able to get timely access to services. ➡️bit.ly/3Pvhp1W

Finished this👌paper by @JessicaMaMD @chvanhoutven et al that outlines a process for identifying family caregivers in electronic health records. Agree w/ their conclusion: it's doable but costly, instead, let's build a #caregiver field in #EHR systems. Representation matters!

Durham VA Center of Innovation@DurhamADAPT

New in @jmirpub: Researchers were able to identify the presence of unpaid caregivers for approximately 60% of veterans who completed a phone screening using an EHR approach. More research is needed to increase the efficiency of caregiver identification. formative.jmir.org/2022/7/e35623

For health systems that lack systematic ways to identify family #caregivers, can an EHR-driven recruitment approach help? @CHVanhoutven & @DurhamADAPT investigators compare two approaches & share policy changes. Read more here: doi.org/10.1111/jgs.17… #VAresearch
