Nursing home patients today are older, sicker, and more frail than ever before. Multiple chronic conditions, reduced mobility and cognition put them at risk for polypharmacy, falls, malnutrition, and pressure ulcers. Primary care physicians not based in the nursing home have the disadvantage of practicing remote medicine. If end-of-life wishes have not been discussed, patients are at increased risk for aggressive and futile care in the final weeks and months of life. These situations create pain and anguish for the patient and family, and increased liability risk for the physician. This on-line activity seeks to arm the physician with specific strategies and resources that will assist in making the care of nursing home patients a reasonable and manageable risk.
