Join us for a discussion with neurohospitalist and researcher Dr. Elan Guterman about the challenges faced by people living with dementia in the hospital, the significant impact of delirium short-and-long-term, and how she views virtual care delivery for dementia as the future. She shares her vision for how a more comprehensive, dyad-centered approach to dementia care addresses dyad's medical, emotional and practical needs. Elan talks about her work from UCSF's Care Ecosystem, which is credited with shepherding new comprehensive dementia care programs like CMS’ GUIDE model.
