Description
This course offers a critical look at the current landscape of dementia care in the U.S., proposing how care providers can use interdisciplinary collaborative tactics to deliver more meaningful and lasting care for those experiencing dementia.
Given the growing number of people experiencing dementia in the U.S. that require a wide range of care needs, how can a range of providers work together to provide the best care? A transdisciplinary care model informs providers on how to blend their roles and expand coordination between disciplines to move beyond communication, offering a higher level of care and empowering experience for patients.
Michelle uses personal experiences with loved ones to communicate a deeper understanding of this approach to care. These lessons deliver a roadmap for providers that offer resources to clients that are supportive rather than complacent. Participants will learn to apply these principles, including how to transfer these goals between providers across disciplines, directly or tangentially, in the care for those experiencing dementia.
