Course Description
Ageism Bias: Effects on Healthcare Delivery for Elders
This seminar provides a synopsis of the World Health Organization’s Global Report on Ageism to assist in elevating the level of competency, awareness and sensitivity regarding ageism issues in healthcare. Topics covered include the scale of ageism, the nature of ageism, the impact of ageism, the determinants of ageism and the three strategies to reduce ageism as outlined in the WHO report.
Learning Objectives:
After completing this course, healthcare workers will be able to:
- Identify evidence-based strategies to prevent and tackle ageism
- Explain aging dynamics and demographics in the United States using data prepared by the Kaiser Health Foundation, American Hospital Association and The Center’s for Medicare and Medicaid Services related to health care utilization and expenditures for persons over the age of 65
- Analyze, share and discuss media coverage and portrayal of older adults to illustrate the bias in society in healthcare and the population at large related to the abilities and vibrancy of older adults and how this impacts healthcare decisions.
- Review Dr. Ken Dykwald’s (noted physician, geriatrician and author of several books and articles on aging) principles of what he terms “Life’s Third Age”, which proposes new concepts, research and theories on how the current population of older adults want to live in their 65 plus years.
