Decision-Making in the Gray

Treating older patients with dementia can be especially challenging. Clinicians and caregivers are confronted by a progressive loss of independent functioning, difficult behavioral problems, and a limited (and sometimes confusing) evidence base on effective treatments. However, available information resources can help guide decision-making by clinicians, patients, and family members.

This Library Grand Rounds featured Stephen Bartels, M.D.,M.S., Director, Centers for Senior Health and Aging, (and Professor Psychiatry and Family and Community Medicine) and Cindy Stewart, M.L.S., Associate Director/Health Sciences Library, Dartmouth Biomedical Libraries. They used a case presentation of an older person suffering from dementia complicated by behavioral and functional problems to demonstrate the useful resources available to assist you with making those "decisions in the gray" with your patients and their families.

Library Grand Rounds are a forum for presenting information resources and tools of interest to Dartmouth clinicians. Please contact us, if you have questions, comments, or suggestions for future Library Grand Rounds (Biomedical.Libraries.Education@Dartmouth.edu, or call 603-650-1661.)
