BCGP Bullets by Eric Christianson Pdf

Updates for 2020! We've made edits and updates to the following sections: Asthma, Atrial Fibrillation, Beers Criteria, Chronic Kidney Disease, Crohn's, COPD, Diabetes, Migraines, Hyperlipidemia, Parkinson's, Sexual Dysfunction, Ulcerative Colitis, and Vaccines. In addition, we've created a section on the rapidly growing topic of Pharmacogenomics. If you are a pharmacist seeking to become board certified in geriatrics by passing the exam, this is a must-have study guide. We've edited our VERY popular BCPS Bullets book and created a review for the geriatric pharmacy exam based on the Board of Pharmaceutical Specialties content outline. With recent PASS rates around 40%, you have to have the right tools to pass this exam and this book will help immensely. In addition to the exam being very difficult, you are likely a busy professional with very minimal free time. I've always had a hard time staying focused while studying from large review article type study guides and have squandered hours reading while retaining very little. This book is intended to be a crash course/cheat sheet overview of the most highly testable material. I wanted to remember the really important stuff because I know it is impossible to know every minute detail. BCGP Bullets, the Condensed BCGP Study Guide will help prepare you for the exam as well as help you maximize your study time. We have covered over 100+ disease states with critical clinical pearls, like drugs of choice, drug interactions, disease state education, and geriatric-specific nuggets for certain medications. Biostatistics basics, important geriatric terminology, social, financial, and emotional considerations are also included in this book. Items like elder abuse, advanced directives, and power of attorney show up in the content outline and we have also outlined the basics of this terminology. I can assure you that there is no doubt this book will help in your preparation for becoming a BCGP certified pharmacist! The Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist (BCGP) is a designation from the Board of Pharmacy Specialties. The contents within this study guide are not affiliated or endorsed by the Board of Pharmacy Specialties.

Fundamentals of Geriatric Pharmacotherapy by Lisa C. Hutchison,Rebecca B. Sleeper Pdf

A change is coming. By 2050, the world's 65-and-older population will double, and the 85 and older population will mushroom fivefold. As the number of older adults surge, so too will the number of medication management challenges pharmacists and other health care providers experience. For the geriatric population, complex cases are often the norm, and providing safe and effective care can mean considering assessments of function and cognition, contacting multiple prescribers, and understanding a patient's history, beliefs, and care giving situation before making therapeutic decisions. Fundamentals of Geriatric Pharmacotherapy: An Evidence-Based Approach gives practitioners the information they need to improve outcomes and personalize care for elderly patients. Section 1 explores important foundational concepts such as social and behavioral issues, ethical considerations, biomedical principles of aging, geriatric assessment, and polypharmacy. Section 2 covers common disease states in aging adults, providing evidence-based treatment information as well as helpful tips for minimizing common problems and contending with clinical controversies. Particular attention is given to how treatment can differ along the spectrum of active elderly to frail elderly patients. Useful features throughout the book guide practitioners in navigating the maze of information required when caring for an older patient. These include: Summarized treatment guidelines Reviews of the evidence-base Special focus on recommendations for frail elderly At least one full case study, or more, in each chapter Clinical Pearls Key Points highlight important information in each chapter Key terms and definitions The demands of an aging population mean a greater understanding of geriatric pharmacotherapy will soon be essential for all health care providers. Fundamentals of Geriatric Pharmacotherapy ensures that you'll have the information needed to respond appropriately.

Primary Care for Older Adults by Michael Wasserman,James Riopelle Pdf

This book provides a comprehensive and systematic state-of-the science review of major primary care delivery models, how they address specific needs of older adults, and available evidence for their efficacy. Written by experts in the field, this book explores the patient-centered medical home model (PCMH) in depth and dives into the complexities of the “medical neighborhood”. It describes and analyzes primary care specifically directed toward special, complex populations, such as the Health Home for safety net patients with mental health needs, and intensive primary care for older adults. It reviews an array of primary care models related to dual eligible patients including the GRACE primary care consultation model and PACE models. It describes primary care with Advanced Practice Nurses and Physician Assistants and explores in-depth the massive effort within the VA to develop the Patient Activated Care Team (PACT), a VA form of the PCMH that also has several offshoots that address complex older veterans and veterans with severe mental illness. Finally, it illuminates rarely discussed primary care that occurs within the home and within long-term care. Throughout the entire book, experts navigate the workforce, care quality, and financing challenges of primary care for older adults. Primary Care for Older Adults is a valuable resource for clinicians, researchers, patients, caregivers and their advocates, and policy makers who have an interest in designing, promoting, and implementing high quality primary care for older adults.

Geriatric Medicine by Christine K. Cassel,Rosanne Leipzig,Harvey Jay Cohen,Eric B. Larson,Diane E. Meier Pdf

Since the publication of the third edition of Geriatric Medicine,extraordinary advances have occurred in the science of aging and the potential for biomedical research to give us answers to many, if not most, of the age-related disorders that threaten the quality of life in older years. At the most basic level, the successful mapping of the human genome was declared complete in the fall of 2000. Understanding the map of the human genome is as important as understanding the map of genomes of important laboratory species, ranging from the microscopic worms and fruit?ies used in most classic genetic studies to rodents such as laboratory mice, and eventually to primates, on which much of the research on the aging human brain is done. The genetic maps of all of these species,including our own,does not answer clinical questions,but it does open the door to dramatic, rapid, and ef?cient answers to questions about the genetic polymorphisms related to diseases in humans. The telomerase story also unfolded since the third edition. Telomerase is an enzyme responsible for maintaining the telomeres—the redundant DNA portions at the end of chromosomes—whose shortening seems to be linked directly to cell senescence,ap- tosis,and the control over cell death,which,at the level of the individual cell,seems to be linked to the decline of organ function and eventually aging and death within the org- ism.
