Abstract
Abstract: A geriatric psychiatrist and gerontological nurse practitioner will present their personal experience using telehealth services to manage dementia, depression and other chronic mental illnesses in rural long-term care facilities. The session will discuss the logistics of being a clinical provider for services: scheduling, medical record review, interdisciplinary collaboration, billing, staff, family and resident acceptance. Benefits and challenges of offering remote dementia and geropsychiatric expertise will be reviewed. Case studies will be presented on common clinical presentations that the geriatric psychiatrist and gerontological nurse practitioner analyze in their facilities. An emphasis will be made on strategies to decrease antipsychotic use in dementia.
