Goal of heart teams is the provision of patient-centred care using a shared decision-making approach. Outcomes - consistent provision of guideline-based decision making, better coordination of treatment plans, effective use of resources, and, for clinicians, greater knowledge and improved workplace satisfaction. The success … depends largely on collaboration amongst multiple disciplines each of whom bring different areas of knowledge and expertise to the discussion. Geriatric medicine brings a unique area of expertise that reaches beyond the standard decision-making parameters… creates the opportunity to consider a broader spectrum of treatment options for each patient… potential to assist with resource utilization and improve overall patient care.
Consultative collaborative transition Geriatric medicine was invited to attend Future directions: program refinement / screening / education / peri-procedure delirium management pathway Inviting each specialty to present to the other is enabling (2-way learning) Listen long enough to fully understand Mastering ‘money - speak’
