TLDR: We find the average older adult in traditional Medicare spends 3 weeks per year getting health care, mostly (17 days) ambulatory care like office visits, tests, and treatments.
11% of these adults spent 50+ days per year (!).

Important to recognize our extremely isolated often #homebound patients who need proactive outreach. @Asaf_Bitton @RitchieCS
“A comprehensive approach is needed to address the disproportionate effects that safety measures have on the well-being of those who may be more vulnerable & isolated, including (but not limited to) older adults."

The problem with asking patients+families if they want "everything" done:
"Everything" includes Rx that has no chance of improving survival-but may cause major suffering. We need to learn how to be more humble about the limits of medical intervention #geriatrics #hpm #meded
