Dr. Michael Malone, medical director of Aurora Senior Services, recently launched a smartphone app to improve quality of care for older adults. The app is called ACE NICHE.
The app provides caregiver guidance on two topics:
- Delirium in older adults
- Challenging behaviors of hospital older patients with alzheimer’s disease
The app is built to guide the assessment of the older patient’s history, their examination, their non- pharmacologic and pharmacologic treatment, and care transition. Additional features include practical tips for providers to consider, and touch-screen links to key references.
