News: Case Management Services BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY & EXERCISE Like most people, you've probably heard that physical activity and exercise are good for you. In fact, if done on a regular basis, it can be one of the healthiest things you can do for yourself. Being physically active can also help you stay strong and fit enough to keep doing the things you like to do. Making exercise and physical activity a regular part of your life can improve your health and help you maintain your independence as you age.

Regular physical activity and exercise are important to the physical and mental health of older adults. It can produce long-term health benefits and even improve health for some older people who already have diseases and disabilities. That's why health experts say that older adults should aim to be as active as possible.

Although exercise and physical activity are among the healthiest things you can do for yourself, some older adults are reluctant to exercise. Some are afraid that it will be too hard or that it will harm them. Others might think they have to join a gym or have special equipment.

Yet, studies show that "taking it easy" is risky.

For the most part, when older people lose their ability to do things on their own, it doesn't happen just because they've aged. It's usually because they're not active.

According to the U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity and Health, inactive people are nearly twice as likely to develop heart disease as those who are more active. Lack of physical activity also can lead to more visits to the doctor, more hospitalizations, and more use of medicines for a variety of illnesses.

Scientists have found that staying physically active and exercising regularly can help prevent or delay many diseases and disabilities. In some cases, it is an effective treatment for many chronic conditions. For example, studies show that people with arthritis, heart disease, or

diabetes benefit from regular exercise. Exercise also helps people with high blood pressure, balance problems, or difficulty walking.

Regular, moderate physical activity can help manage stress and improve your mood.

And, being active on a regular basis may help reduce feelings of depression. Studies also suggest that exercise can improve or maintain some aspects of cognitive function, such as your ability to shift quickly between tasks, plan an activity, and ignore irrelevant information. http://nihseniorhealth.gov/exerciseforolderadults/

FRIENDSHIP FUND FOR ACTIVITIES AT THE CENTER If you are in need of financial assistance to participate in activities at the Senior Center, there is a fund available to help you.

News: Case Management Services Hospitals Try House Calls to Cut Costs and Admissions To keep patients out of the hospital, health-care providers are bringing back revamped versions of a time-honored practice: the house call. In addition to a growing number of doctors treating frail patients at home, insurers and health systems are sending teams of doctors, nurses, physician assistants and pharmacists into homes to monitor patients, administer treatments, ensure medications are being taken properly and assess risks for everything from falling in the shower to family care-giver burnout.

Some are adopting programs called "Hospital at Home" to provide hospital-level care in the home, including portable lab tests, ultrasounds, X-rays and electrocardiograms.

In large part, the aim is to avoid new financial penalties from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Last October, the federal government agency started withholding certain payments to hospitals with higher-than-predicted readmission rates for patients with heart attacks, congestive heart failure and pneumonia. Nearly a fifth of its beneficiaries end up back in the hospital within 30 days, according to Medicare, costing $26 billion annually. But there is also growing pressure to keep patients from being admitted to the hospital in the first place, especially if they have chronic disease. Such patients, particularly older ones, are more vulnerable to infections and complications like bed sores in the hospital, and are actually safer at home, experts say.

"People may think of the house call as this quaint idea of a doctor heading out in his horse and buggy, but it is an excellent and necessary model for taking care of vulnerable high-cost patients," says Bruce Leff, a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine who developed the Hospital at Home model and is president of the American Academy of Home Care Physicians. With ‘Hospital at Home’ programs, doctors, nurses and

4

pharmacists provide a range of medical care at patients’ own residences. Below are a few examples of what they do:  Give medication: Administer everything from intravenous antibiotics and diuretics to inhaled treatments for pneumonia or lung disease.  Monitor medicines: Show patients and families how to administer medicines properly; ensure prescriptions are correct and up to date; check what’s in the medicine cabinet for any drug interactions; explain any side effects.  Assess the home: Evaluate how at risk patients are for falls; judge whether they need any special equipment.  Care for the caregiver: Instruct family caregivers on how to look after patients; address caregiver concerns such as burnout with referrals to counseling or community groups; refer caregivers for financial assistance; watch out for possible neglect or abuse.  Conduct diagnostic tests: Take X-rays, ultrasounds and electrocardiograms to track recovery and monitor symptoms. http://online.wsj.com/article For more information on medical care in the home in our area, contact Visiting Physician Association (VPA) in Madison at 608-807-1600.

If you have difficulty getting to a doctor’s office, then house call visits are likely covered in the same manner as a regular visit to an office-based physician. They accept Medicare, Medicaid & most other insurances.
