Opening Session—Wednesday (Continued) Shelley Bhattacharya, DO, MPH, FAAFP

Dr. Bhattacharya is a geriatrician at the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC). She is an associate professor with the Department of Family Medicine. Since arrival to KUMC in 2005, she has been heavily involved in the teaching of medical students, family medicine residents and geriatric fellows. Her responsibilities include being the Year 1 and 2 Curriculum Director in Geriatrics for the medical students and Director of Geriatric Education for the family medicine residency. In September of 2010, she received a five year Geriatric Academic Career Award (GACA) funded by the Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA), to teach a four year interprofessional curriculum in geriatrics to 135 family medicine residents and physical therapy, nurse practitioner, social work and pharmacy students annually. It has garnered national and international interest to help facilitate interprofessional education and communication to improve patient care.

Jana Zaudke, MD, MA Jana Zaudke is a family physician and medical educator at the University of Kansas Medical Center. She came to medicine as a second career, and brings with her a background in the communication arts. Currently, she sees patients with interprofessional teams of students at the point of care in the Interprofessional Teaching Clinic. Her aim is to expose nursing, medicine, and pharmacy students to collaboration before graduation. This spring, she welcomed University of Kansas School of Law students to participate alongside their clinical colleagues. In addition to her work in the outpatient context, she has also been actively involved in supporting IPE activities in the hospital as the Medical Director of the Family Medicine Inpatient Service. Family Medicine residents and physicians now ‘huddle’ daily with case management, nursing, physical therapy, pharmacy and law to discuss patient care and discharge planning. She intends to continue to develop innovative IPE-related activities in the outpatient and inpatient settings, all the while developing a workforce well-equipped to change healthcare delivery.

Steve Jernigan, PT, PhD Dr. Jernigan received his MS in Physical Therapy and his PhD in Rehabilitation Science from the University of Kansas Medical Center. Dr. Jernigan is currently a clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Dr. Jernigan’s primary teaching responsibilities in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program include introductory, musculoskeletal, and health promotion courses, and a recent addition, Interprofessional Education in Physical Therapy. He has been heavily involved, on behalf of the School of Health Professions, with the interprofessional education efforts at the University of Kansas Medical Center while serving on the Core Planning Team and the Curriculum Committee of the Center for Interprofessional Education and Simulation, to strategically plan and establish core competencies for interprofessional education across the Schools of Medicine, Nursing, and Health Professions. He is also the faculty mentor for physical therapy students that participate in the University of Kansas Hospital Family Medicine Interprofessional Training Clinic, a facilitator for the interprofessional Geriatric Champions Program, and the Allied Health Professionals Coordinator for a hospital-based interprofessional collaborative practice grant.

Keynote Presentation

“It Is Time for Hope in Health Care!”

David W. Moen, MD President, Bluestone Solutions, Inc., Stillwater, MN You have probably heard the phrase he will probably have to hit “rock bottom” before he recognizes he can no longer drink and do drugs. Often, hitting rock bottom or a life extreme is what it takes in order for us to face into and recognize the consequences of behaviors that are hurting us more than helping us. When it comes to health care there is evidence that we are headed to rock bottom. We currently rank 44th in life expectancy and 49th in infant mortality and spend twice or more on our health care than all the countries ahead of us on the list. Medicare spending is the fastest growing component of entitlement spending and its current rate fueled by more of us retiring and increasing spending per enrollee will bankrupt our children’s future. According to the Council of Economic Advisors we have reached a tipping point where increases in health care spending are actually lowering our capacity to grow our economy. Fortunately, more Americans have been affected by and have awakened to the challenge. We don’t have the best health care system in the world. It is uncomfortable for most of us to admit that about anything we think of as American. However, it is the first step we must take to begin the system transformation our next generation so desperately needs us to take on. As humans we are empowered and engaged when we state our truth out loud and when we hear ourselves in the words and feelings of others. Many are disenfranchised and overwhelmed working in and being served by our complex and at critical times very disconnected, inhumane health care system. Twice as many Americans over age 45 describe themselves as lonely today compared to just 10 years ago! 40% of all physicians would retire today if they could; in all age groups! To promote engagement and hope it is critical that we see where the shift to sustainable health care models is occurring so we can embrace and support the changes we need to make to improve our own health and the system needed to improve all our health. In truth the change is less scary than many think and in fact returns us to some very fundamental, human requirements of health and healing; self-awareness, trust, empathy, and human relationship.

Keynote Presentation (Continued) The learning objectives of this talk include: 1. Understand basic economics of our current health care system 2. Understand the forces impacting our current system using a social technical model 3. Identify the imbalance in today’s system that provides us with the urgency and energy to change 4. Share the emerging requirements of care delivery models that support sustainable health and wellness among patients and health care workers: a. Team-based, relationship-centered care delivery models b. Social/medical predictive models c. Social health promotion d. Care migrating to the geography of people’s lives e. Resilient and responsive care planning for those at risk f. Enabling social technologies that facilitate communication, learning, and behavior change

Emerald I & II David W. Moen, MD—Bluestone Vista, Stillwell, MN Mary Scott, RN, CCM, MS—Via Christi Health, Wichita, KS “Social Technologies that Enhance Health Through Human Connection”

Track 1

SUMMARY: Using specific “use cases,” this Session will convey how technology plays a key role in delivering care in a more efficient, yet effective way while providing improved patient outcomes at a lower cost. The teambased approach (or collaboration) exists on two fronts: 1) Between two health systems; and 2) front-line provider/operation staff from different organizations collaborating with each other. It led to the development and refinement of care models that impact patients and providers. Patient experience improved outcomes (reduced hospitalizations, ED visits, etc.) And access. Providers had improved efficiencies, yet were effective.

• • •

OBJECTIVES: Understand how collaboration accelerates innovation and new care model development Understand how technology can improve patient outcomes Identify barriers and challenges providers face in patient communication and use of technology

SUMMARY: The U.S. population is aging and healthcare expenditures continue to rise. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality released a publication on chronic disease that claimed rates of hospital readmissions and annual costs per person are dependent on the number of chronic conditions a patient has. They also stated that focusing on patients with multiple chronic conditions could reduce overall healthcare costs. Medication Therapy Management (MTM) represents a new pharmaceutical care program that targets patients with multiple chronic conditions, encouraging patients or their caregivers to become actively involved in managing their medicines. The community pharmacy profession has succeeded in advancing patient care from a brief window consultation to 30-60 minute MTM appointments scheduled with a pharmacist. This presentation will review basic principles of MTM in the community pharmacy setting, including patient eligibility for this service, pharmacy reimbursement and billing procedures, and the future of MTM with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

Shawnee B&C Belinda Gonzales, HIS—NuSound Hearing Center, Topeka, KS “Tinnitus: The Truth and Nothing But the Truth” SUMMARY: Tinnitus is commonly described as a ringing in the ears but can often sound like crickets, locusts, hissing, buzzing and many others. Tinnitus can be heard constantly or intermittently and may be in one or both ears. It may be soft or loud and may present itself in different pitches. If you hear noises in your ears, you are in good company. In the United States, roughly 10 percent of the adult population experience tinnitus. This is not a disease. Tinnitus is typically a symptom of some type of auditory system problem and is quite often the first indicator of hearing loss. But it can also be a caused by a number of other health conditions including diseases of the heart, brain tumors, ear or sinus infections, and more. Many drugs are also known to cause tinnitus. Tinnitus: The Truth and Nothing but the Truth will give you an overall view of what tinnitus is and how it can often be managed. This is a fun, informative seminar that allows for questions, as well as, hands on of some different sound devices.

OBJECTIVES: • Basics of hearing and hearing loss • Who experiences tinnitus • The impact of tinnitus

• What is tinnitus • Causes of tinnitus • Tinnitus treatment options

SUMMARY: So often when we think about long-term care, we only think about nursing homes. The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly is another option. It’s a program that wraps services around persons over the age of 55 who have multiple or significant health issues who want to stay in their own homes. PACE works with the individual and their family supports to put a plan in place to allow them to do so. At the heart of a PACE program is a center where individuals can go to receive their primary care services, rehabilitative therapies and adult day care. It is a Medicare/Medicaid program and is a possible option for those over 55 , who are eligible for long-term care services and can live safely in the community with supports.

President—Paradigm Solutions, Inc., Manhattan, KS Summary

We are all either from, or familiar with small communities struggling to keep their senior health care services. Hear from one industry leading problem solver examples of how communities are surviving – and thriving, and examples of some that won’t. OBJECTIVES: • Understand a 30,000 foot view of how our rural senior health care system works • Understand how it is interconnected, if successful, and disconnected, if not • Understand that you can do about it as a customer, board member or interested community member

Willie Novotny

While attending KSU, Novotny became acquainted with Steve Shields, who was teaching Emphasis in Long Term Care Management at Kansas State while working at Meadowlark Hills as the CEO. Curious, Novotny sought out more information. Through discussion, Shields shared how Meadowlark Hills was transforming healthcare and developing “households” in the nursing home where the residents could get up when they wanted, go to bed when they wanted, eat what they wanted, when they wanted and to control every aspect of their daily lives and the staff that worked in those areas would be in decision making roles and self-led work teams. This was enough to change once again Novotny’s degree plan and he graduated in 1999 from KSU with a degree in Gerontology, became a licensed nursing home administrator in 2001 and after a short stint elsewhere, Novotny joined the team at Meadowlark Hills. Novotny served as Chief Operating Officer for 8 years and eventually as CEO for two. Under Novotny’s tenure, Meadowlark Hills’ households achieved international recognition as some of the most innovative and highly regarded senior communities. Wanting to help more facilities reach their dreams, Novotny founded New Paradigm Solutions, Inc in 2012.

“What Is a Patient’s Responsibility to Help Improve the Quality and Costs of Health Care Delivery?”

Bob Faught

President & Cofounder—Senior Support Initiatives, Inc., Topeka, KS Summary

We are always looking at Professionals and Providers to take actions to improve health care delivery. But, what role does the patient play in improving the quality and costs of health care? This presentation will use the extensive experience and background of a patient who has undergone many successful surgeries in the past 30 years of his life to define the roles and responsibilities of the patient. It is a fascinating look at a perspective rarely discussed or seen.

Bob Faught

Bob Faught and his wife, Leah, cofounded Senior Support Initiatives, Inc. to provide “initiatives” for seniors and those with disabilities to inform, educate, and improve their quality of life. Bob grew up in Topeka, and was gone for over 42 years working in domestic and international marketing, business development, and sales. In those years, Bob and Leah lived around the world, including Tokyo, Hong Kong, and San Francisco. The Faught’s developed their nonprofit corporation based on Bob’s 30 years of joint surgeries and replacements. He has had 8 knee surgeries, two total knee replacements, a total right hip replacement, and shoulder and ankle surgery. Each time Bob recovered quickly through MIND OVER BODY. For example, he returned to work three days after his 2006 total right hip replacement. He returned to work two weeks after each of his total knee replacements in 2000 and 2003. Due to frequent requests, Bob published his book in 2010 on how to create a quality life for yourself, titled Our Joint Decisions: A Patient’s Perspective to Successfully Manage Joint Pain, Surgeries & Replacements. For the past four years, the Faught’s have been full-time with their nonprofit, providing motivational speaking, especially to seniors, while creating venues that improve the quality of life for all. After they moved to Topeka in December 2011, they found that seniors and their support teams knew nothing about the extensive services available. They created the Topeka & Shawnee County Senior Health Fair & Symposium held on October 7, 2012. From the feedback they received, they began organizing the 2013 Kansas Conference on Aging. 2013 Kansas Conference on Aging, September 4 & 5, 2013

SUMMARY: This presentation is on the topic of the aging auditory system, and the aging auditory central nervous system, including the complexities involved in the processing, or understanding, of speech. This aspect of the presentation stresses that difficulties hearing and understanding what is being said may not simply be the result of a hearing loss, per se, but the difficulties most often go beyond that into the central nervous system—the system that processes what we hear so that we can understand/ comprehend what is being said. Also included in the presentation are reasons why we, as we age, have more difficulty hearing in certain environments than others, the fact that we live in a world of people who do not speak clearly and places that are not meant for communication—what speakers too often do to their speech that make it difficult to understand, and why many environments make it difficult for us to understand what is being said. Also included in the presentation are strategies that we can utilize to help those who have difficulty hearing that go beyond simply recommending hearing aids.

Pioneer Room Kareen King, RDT—The Golden Experience, Osage City, KS “Finding Emilou: A Person-Centered Care Case Study in Concert”

Track 2

SUMMARY: Kareen King, owner and creator of The Golden Experience™, is a Registered Drama Therapist and Keynote Speaker who educates through original song and storytelling. Her educational concerts empower individuals who live and work in long-term care settings. She champions personcentered care with an emphasis in empathy, creativity, and creating peak experiences. Beyond the most unlikely landscape, there lies an immeasurable treasure. Emilou, an 89-year-old woman who was a Polio survivor and lived with symptoms of dementia for many years, was considered by some to be the stereotypical nursing home shouter. In a unique case study format using original song and narrative, Kareen King, MA, Registered Drama Therapist, illustrates several crucial person-centered care lessons she has learned from someone who might, at first glance, be deemed useless. Personcentered care takes on new meaning as a result of this personal account of Kareen’s work and friendship with Emilou. Participants go away with a greater propensity toward empathy and creativity; geared to improve quality of life for their clients and themselves.

River Room Greg Kandt, PhD—Forth Hays State University, Hays, KS “Exercise Dose Response in the Elderly: Influences on Chronic Health, Functional Capacity & Walking Velocity

Track 2

SUMMARY: The presentation will clarify the exercise dose response concept and relate dose-response to exercise program recommendations. Current recommendations regarding how much exercise is necessary for specific health benefits will be reviewed. Possible limitations of these recommendations and alternative approaches will be explained. Differences in exercise dose response patterns between older and younger participants will be clarified. We will then analyze recent research on the immediate response to exercise participation. The importance of Walking Velocity as a functional indicator will be explained. The audience will help recommend possible applications for encouraging participation in health related physical activity. This presentation will include audience interaction and opportunities for attendees to contribute or challenge information throughout the session.

Homestead Room Track 1 Breakout Session 4-J Dave Meek, MA—The National Institute for Elopement Prevention, Topeka, KS “Resident Elopement Policy: What’s Missing” SUMMARY: Resident elopement can and will happen in most long term care and assisted living communities. Elopements often have a poor outcome resulting in severe injury or death to the resident involved. Even when the resident is quickly found unharmed it can result in CMS surveys and costly CMPs. Next is the civil litigation (it’ estimate that 10% of all litigation against long term care facilities involve an elopement) that can extend over years. Yet, resident elopement policy varies greatly in our long term care and assisted living communities. These policies may be written and updated by committees or by individual staff members. There is one key question that no one on a committee or even an individual staff member wants to answer. What training do you have in resident elopement prevention or response? The answer is probably “none.” In this session we will help you map your way to a new and stronger policy that is worded correctly and will help you to show how proactive your facility is in prevention as well as response to elopement incidents.

He will comment on the progress made from the Professionals and Providers during this Conference; and where do we need to go to keep improving. The Secretary’s vision for the future will give all attending this Conference direction and motivation to continue everyone’s valiant efforts to provide their best care.

Shawn Sullivan

As Secretary for the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, Shawn Sullivan heads a $1.67 billion state agency. He gladly embraces the responsibility of promoting the security, dignity and independence of older adults and persons with disabilities. The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) is the state’s second largest cabinet level agency, employing 2,650 people. KDADS is responsible for overseeing and administering Older American’s Act programs, the distribution of Medicaid long-term care payments, survey and certification for adult care homes, behavioral health programs, home and community based services for older adults and persons with disabilities and the management and oversight of five state hospitals. Secretary Sullivan was appointed by Governor Sam Brownback in January 2011 to head the Kansas Department on Aging (KDOA). He led KDOA through one of the largest executive reorganizations in state history. On July 1, KDOA became KDADS. He also played an integral part in the development of KanCare, which is Governor Brownback’s Medicaid reform plan that will be implemented in January 2013. KanCare will provide integrated and coordinated care for the 383,000 Kansans currently served by Medicaid programs. Prior to his appointment, Secretary Sullivan served Kansas in various roles related to aging and health care delivery services. His experience spans two decades. He was the administrator and executive director of four different aging service providers in Atwood, Lyons, Newton and Wichita. Three communities he led were recognized by the Kansas Department on Aging as PEAK award winners for their efforts in culture change and person-centered care. The Secretary helped lead the way in transforming senior-living communities from traditional institutions to residential homes where elders make decisions about their own lives. Secretary Sullivan holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Kansas State University and a master’s degree in gerontology from the University of North Texas. He has been an active member in advocacy groups and has served on various boards on both the state and national levels. 2013 Kansas Conference on Aging, September 4 & 5, 2013

“Closing the Conference on a High Note”

Kareen King, RDT

Owner & Founder, The Golden Experience, Osage City, KS Summary

Kareen’s earlier Breakout Session on “Finding Emilou” was a heart-warming narrative and music presentation that showed the importance of empathy and person-centered care for seniors and those with dementia. Now, Kareen will close the 2013 Kansas Conference on Aging with a special story and music that reminds us that the golden opportunities are often in the little things that are of great value. Kareen will leave us with a greater propensity toward empathy, creativity, and renewed passion for the world of long-term care!

Kareen King, RDT

Kareen King, owner and creator of The Golden Experience™, is a Registered Drama Therapist and Keynote Speaker who educates through original song and storytelling. Her educational concerts empower individuals who live and work in longterm care settings. She champions person-centered care with an emphasis in empathy, creativity, and creating peak experiences in long-term care settings.

About The Golden Experience ™ (An Artist’s Statement)

My heart for the overlooked took root at an early age. Painfully aware of my own need to be acknowledged and included, I became increasingly sensitive to others who were ignored, ostracized, or dismissed. My passion came full circle during my work as a Registered Drama Therapist/Activities Director at a skilled nursing community where I was drawn to the individuals who seemed in most need of love and attention. Within a year, I had already composed a collection of songs giving voice to individuals in long-term care settings, a voice which is a reflection of the universal need to love and be loved, and to enjoy life to its fullest regardless of physical or mental limitations. This work led me to develop my concept, The Golden Experience. The Golden Experience, as a live presentation, incorporates original songs and stories that give voice to the spirit that lies within each of us. Our incredible worth is often invisible to others because of eschewed perspectives including stereotyping, ageism, stigma, burn-out, indifference, fear, and busyness. The music is folk/pop with hints of blues, jazz, and country. The stories are both heart-wrenching and heart-warming. They showcase the enrichment needs of human beings, those existence needs that go beyond basic physiological and safety needs. They address what often is overlooked in our efforts to maintain status quo, meet protocol, or tackle to-do lists. The Golden Experience spotlights our deepest longings for love, acceptance, belonging, esteem, self expression, and peak moments. 2013 Kansas Conference on Aging, September 4 & 5, 2013
