Geriatric Notes Resource for APPs in PA/LTC Settings
On April 1, AMDA - The Society for Post-Acute and Long Term-Care Medicine, sent an email recommending this resource, Geriatric Notes, at a 20% discount. This resource was first released in 2018 and targets advanced practice providers (APP) who care for elders in our settings of care. In this offering through AMDA, you have access to the paperback book or the E-book version available via the internet and as the eReader2 app on smartphones. This Ebook version has updates on health maintenance, diabetes management, and the Beers list (identifies potential inappropriate medications). I have reviewed this textbook by Jamie W Smith and Bradley J Goad, and found it to be an easy to use resource for quick point of care decisions as well as for improving understanding of common diagnosis, topics, symptoms, and guidelines encountered in the care of an aging population.
Though the target is APPs, physicians who care for Boomers will find the clinical information in these up-to-date notes a valuable addition to their real-time patient care library. The digital version can be found at jblearning.com with 20% discount by use of this code: AMDAEBOOK and/or the book version by code: AMDA
