Jordan Jimenez+FollowDementia Patients Left in DangerDid you know NZ hospitals are putting dementia patients with severe psychiatric symptoms into regular medical wards because there aren’t enough specialist beds? Staff aren’t trained for this, and it’s leading to violence, assaults, and unsafe conditions for everyone. The government keeps cutting psycho-geriatric beds even as the need grows. It’s not just unsafe—it’s totally unethical. How is this still happening in 2024? #MentalHealthCrisis #DementiaCare #NZHealth #Health #MentalHealth62Share
Jennifer Meyer+FollowTablets vs. Traditional Dementia TestingAre tablets the future of dementia screening in your doctor’s office? A new German study found that both patients and medical staff actually preferred digital cognitive tests over the old-school paper ones. Medical assistants liked the added responsibility, and patients felt more comfortable discussing memory concerns. But with issues like specialist communication and funding still in the way, is this tech upgrade truly a game-changer or just a shiny new tool? What’s your take on digital diagnostics in primary care? #DigitalHealth #DementiaCare #MedTech #Tech00Share

jporter+FollowER Chaos with Dementia Patients 😬Guys, the combo of overcrowded ERs and rising dementia cases is causing chaos. Patients are waiting forever for beds, and it’s getting worse with an aging population. Imagine: some are stuck for 12+ hours, like a shocking ER horror show. Less hospital beds and more dementia cases mean we seriously need to rethink hospital care. What do you think can fix this? #HealthcareCrisis #AgingPopulation #DementiaCare #Health1712Share
rachel60+FollowWhy Dementia Care Needs an OverhaulDementia care is seriously lagging worldwide, with a Yale study showing that 1 in 5 patients receive no care. Striking gaps exist across countries, hitting hardest in places like China where 99% lack formal support. Even the U.S. struggles, relying on a patchwork of Medicare and Medicaid, pushing many families to the brink. Countries like Denmark lead with consistent federal care, shining a light on what’s possible. It's clear: we need major policy changes and innovative solutions to bridge these alarming care gaps. #DementiaCare #HealthcareReform #AgingPopulation #YaleResearch #Health93Share
