Strategies in Aging Patients
speaker: MarC agronin, MD
traCk: geriatriC psyCHiatry
As the global population continues to age, it is
becoming increasingly important to identify effective
coping strategies for older individuals. This session
will explore the concept of resilience and how it
relates to aging. With a focus on the challenges faced
by aging patients, we will explore how to identify
and bolster coping strategies that can help patients
maintain resilience in the face of those challenges.
This session will explore practical strategies for
assessing coping skills in aging patients, including
how to identify factors that may be undermining
resilience, such as social isolation or cognitive
decline. Additionally, participants will learn how
to collaborate with aging patients to develop
personalized plans for enhancing resilience,
including strategies for fostering a sense of purpose
and meaning in life. By the end of the session,
attendees will have a deeper understanding of how
to support aging patients in living their lives with
purpose and resilience.

In today's healthcare landscape, it is
essential to incorporate the patient's
voice in shared decision-making,
where the clinician acts as an advisor. This approach
ensures that the best practices are developed by
incorporating the patient's perspective. This session
aims to provide clinicians with the necessary skills
to incorporate patient perspectives and develop
treatment plans that align with the patient's needs.
We will challenge clinicians to consider how they can
transform their approach to patient care and create a
more patient-centered practice.
