Lisa Gundel, MPPMDivision Administrator, Geriatric Medicine

Educationally, we again filled our fellowship and T32 slots with excellent trainees, including two subspecialty fellows graduating, one in geriatric palliative care and one in geriatric cardiology. Another fellow completed her T32 masters degree in Medical Education, during which she created and evaluated an Interprofessional Dedicated Education Unit (IPDEU), which is now embedded on UPMC Presbyterian’s Neurosurgery ward. Substantial enhancements occurred at the residency level, and we also expanded and enhanced our required interdisciplinary medical school training course which now also comprises >200 students from 10 healthcare disciplines. The course is led by Dr. Rollin Wright who also published her innovative hospitalist and dementia teaching modules in Annals of Internal Medicine Online. Finally, our Pepper Center provided a university-wide leadership training program for junior faculty members in aging.

In research, we continued our collaboration with Dr. Toren Finkel and the Aging Institute, expanded our NIH-funded Center of Excellence in Long-Term Care Research, renewed our T32 in Gerontology, and submitted the renewal of our NIH Center of Excellence in Aging (Pepper). We also recruited 2 new faculty (Drs. Makaroun, Rizzo). Finally, faculty members won research awards and continued to serve on editorial boards as well as advisory boards of NIH, CDC, ACIP, AGS, and NOF, and as consultants to CMS, HEDIS and NQF.

The Division of Geriatric Medicine’s mission is to enhance the health of older adults by providing superb clinical care, by training others to do the same, and by conducting research to ensure that tomorrow’s care is better than today’s.

Given the national declines in funding, we are focusing more than ever on innovation as our primary strategy for achieving our goals. Our efforts in FY19 reflect this vision. Clinically, the Division grew our practice by 5% and integrated our ambulatory sites. We launched new programs in Chronic Care Management and Transitional Care Management, utilizing Medicare funding to create the infrastructure needed to improve care of our patients with multiple comorbidity. We enhanced our shared savings program with UPMC’s Health Plan: we added patients, exceeded quality benchmarks, and saved >$550,000.

CLINICAL ACTIVITIES

We focus on prevention and management of the complex medical and psychosocial problems that afflict older adults. Even excluding our VA efforts, we are responsible for thousands of ambulatory visits and hospital discharges, and nearly 15,000 long term care visits at 13 different facilities.In FY19, we also built on the success of our telemedicine efforts,

which had previously reduced unplanned nursing home transfers, contributed to our two successful $20 million CMS Innovation Center grants, and led UPMC Enterprises in 2017 to create Curavi HealthTM: in FY19, Curavi acquired a New York telemedicine company and it now serves more than 100 nursing homes in 14 states. To further help UPMC reduce readmissions, we expanded our Geriatric Trauma Service, which provides a proactive approach to >2000 older trauma patients admitted annually to UPMC Presbyterian (PUH); propensity analyses showed that we cut readmissions by 42%. Our delirium prevention (HELP) program at UPMC Shadyside cut readmissions hospital-wide by 17% (JAGS 2018). With radiology, we devised a new program to reinsert PEG tubes in NH patients and avoid ED visits. We initiated a novel transition service for older TAVR and heart failure patients discharged to NHs. With orthopedics, we expanded our Fracture Liaison Service (JBMR 2017) to ensure that, in addition to fracture repair, older patients receive appropriate therapy for osteoporosis; the service is now the model for the National Osteoporosis Foundation, and we are now working with UPMC Health Plan to scale it. We also grew two novel ambulatory geriatric subspecialty services: one in geriatric cardiology and another in geriatric chronic pain, and we partnered with nursing on two Beckwith awards to create delirium prevention rooms, both at UPMC PUH and Mercy hospitals. In FY19, we were asked to help UPMC Mercy create a Geriatric Center of Excellence. In just a few months, and benefiting from our previous efforts at UPMC Magee, Mercy was able to gain certification as a level 3 Geriatric ED as well as a NICHE site, and is committed to staffing every ward with at least one geriatric nurse specialist. Finally, we just recruited a new Clinical Chief and filled an open clinician position to start in December 2019. And for 2019, U.S. News and World Report ranked us #12 in Geriatrics.

In addition to our clinical volume, which is large for an academic geriatric division, our effort comprises several special features:

• Physician Excellence: 15 of our faculty are now in America’s Top Docs and/or Best Doctors inAmerica. And, of the 73 physicians (of >3000) to receive UPMC’s Award of Excellence in 2019, 4

were from our faculty.• Vertically-Integrated Care Across the Entire Health Care Spectrum• Chronic Care Management (CCM): We were the first NCQA-certified Patient Centered Medical

Home designed specifically for geriatric patients (Gennari et al., Cleveland Clin J Med, 2012;79:359-66). We have now augmented it by creating a program to manage patients with multiple chronic conditions in compliance with the new CCM billing code. The program is based on patient goals, involves all members of the care team, and is designed to anticipate and avert problems in our most complicated patients.

• Group Visits: For >15 years, Dr. Towers has led one of the first such programs in an academic center.

• Integrated Geriatric Subspecialty Care: Consultative care is provided by fellowship-trained geriatricians, many of whom have additional training in cardiology, chronic pain, gait/mobility, sarcopenia, falls, osteoporosis, pulmonary/critical care, insomnia, incontinence, rheumatology, depression, dementia, audiology, or palliative care. DXA testing is provided by a dually-trained geriatric endocrinologist (Dr. Greenspan).

• Geriatric Pharmacists and Social Workers: Our geriatric pharmacists review medications, provide education, and counsel patients (cf: Gavini, Gennari, Ruby, Consult Pharm, 2015;30:153). This service is especially important for patients recently discharged from the hospital or SNF and for those on warfarin. Our social workers serve both inpatients and outpatients. They help with care transitions, family conferences, and end of life/palliative care discussions. They also provide resources to address care deficits and financial issues, and they educate patients and families on a variety of topics including dementia and insurance coverage.

• Emergency Care: Both UPMC Magee and UPMC Mercy now screen for delirium in every older patient in the Emergency Room, and pharmacists review the medications of every patient with a positive screening test.

• Hospitalist and Consult Services: At Shadyside, we staff a geriatrics hospitalist service and a consult service.

• HELP Program: Based on Dr. Inouye’s program and led by Drs. Rubin and Hassan, this service prevents delirium and has saved >$7 million/year since 2008 at UPMC Shadyside (Rubin, JAGS2011 and JAGS 2018)

• UPMC Presbyterian (PUH) Geriatric Trauma Service: Dr. Scandrett initiated this service in 2016 to meet the needs of >2000 older patients admitted annually to our Level 1 trauma hospital. Readmissions were cut 42%.

• Fracture Liaison Service (UPMC PUH-Shadyside): Dr. Greenspan created this national model to ensure that, in addition to surgical repair, those with a fracture are evaluated and treated for osteoporosis (JBMR 2017).

• Telemedicine Service for all of our institutionalized residents, both after hours and on weekends.• Transitional Care Management/Readmission Prevention: Each of our patients is contacted within

48 hours of hospital discharge to review their progress, medications, unanticipated problems, and plans for medical follow-up. Uniquely, we have a similar process for our patients discharged from SNFs. In addition, for each readmission, the clinicians involved (PCP, hospitalist, NH physician, pharmacist, social worker, and/or home care) strive to identify interventions to prevent future readmissions, both at the patient and the system level.

• Advanced Heart Failure: A new unit, created at UPMC’s Canterbury SNF, is led by Drs. Hassan and

• Program for All-Inclusive Care of the Elderly (PACE): Directed by one of our adjunct faculty andworking closely with the Division, this multisite program allows frail elderly to continue living athome.

• Nursing Home (NH) and Assisted Living: We provide care for hundreds of these residents, as wellas training and medical leadership to more than a dozen facilities to improve care and reduceunnecessary admissions.

• Provision of Non-Reimbursable Services: our readmission prevention service, an anticoagulationprogram for frail patients, Lifeline® even for those unable to pay, 55 Alive (to assess drivingsafety), and respite care.

CLINICAL QUALITY IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVESOur initiatives focus on each relevant setting. Some highlights include:

Ambulatory CareChronic Care Management (CCM). Focused on frailty and/or multimorbidity, we work with each such patient to develop a care plan in the context of their goals, life expectancy, and current functional status. Because we use this information to develop an action plan and reach out between office visits to assess progress, we qualify for CMS’s chronic care billing code which helps to defray the costs. It also enables us to provide targeted, multidisciplinary care from pharmacists, social workers, and CRNPs to additional patients, and also same day appointments and continuity of care between care settings. These initiatives led to a 97% score on CG CAHPS. Based on our success, other departments have begun to implement the model as well.

Transitional Care Management. In FY19, to determine whether Medicare’s new TCM billing code could enable us to further improve our transitional care, we hired a pharmacy technician to identify, track, and coordinate transitions for all of our patients discharged from a hospital, rehabilitation facility, or SNF. She ensures that each patient is called within two business days of discharge to address questions, unexpected problems, and any anticipated difficulty in being seen for follow-up within two weeks. The program has been well received by patients, staff, and physicians, and won the “2019 People’s Choice” award at the UPMC PUH-SHY Quality Fair. By tracking its efficacy and cost, we hope to be able to systematize the program and disseminate it.

Depression. We continue our CRNP-led depression screening and management program. Based on the PROSPECT study, which was developed by our geropsychiatrists (JAMA, 2004), we screen each of our patients with the PHQ-2, followed as needed by the PHQ-9. A positive score triggers the provider to evaluate and treat the patient according to an algorithm we adapted with input from our geropsychiatrists. Patients are followed for 6-12 months by an interdisciplinary team that monitors response and assists with problem-solving.

Annual Wellness Visits. In FY19, we more than doubled the number of these visits by automatically scheduling patients to see a CRNP before/after their routine PCP visit. During the visit, the focus is on preventive services, immunizations, diet and exercise, and advance directives. We continue to garner top scores for preventive services across UPP.

Emergency CareIn 2015, we and our colleagues in the Magee-Women’s Emergency Department became one of just two US programs selected to work with leaders from the American College of Emergency Physicians and the Society of Academic Emergency Physicians to improve care of older emergency patients. Funded by the Hartford Foundation, our first project began with development of a quality improvement program to enhance detection and management of delirium. Repeated QI cycles have improved nurse-administered screening of older adults from 33% to 90% and the rate of physician confirmatory testing to 85%, with a positive screen triggering a pharmacist review of medications. Reliability was enhanced in FY19 by incorporating the tools and process into the EMR, which has also enabled us to help disseminate the program to UPMC Mercy. The Magee team is now developing a standardized care plan for admitted patients and refining educational tools for patients and family. Follow up of patients with a positive score is underway to determine who can be safely discharged from the ED and the support required. A second project recently began to improve pain management for geriatric patients. The goal is to train ED physicians to provide regional anesthesia with femoral blocks for patients with hip fractures.

Inpatient CareMagee Acute Care and Transitions Program (ACT). Our program was based on two tenets: optimal geriatric care requires anticipating problems and preventing them, and improved systems can help to do so. Led by Dr. Visoiu, over 8 years we identified new problems in medication reconciliation (Marcum et al., J Am Geriatr Soc, 2015 [2 articles]), expanded and enhanced our Geriatric Consult Service, and worked with orthopedics to improve protocols for all fracture patients. We also sustained our previous advances, maintaining low ALOS, complication rates, and readmissions (10%). More gratifying, improvement in these metrics was sustained across the entire medical service for years. Unfortunately, faced with staff turnover, an unforeseen faculty shortage, and increased demand for our help on the PUH Trauma service, we had to suspend the MWH ACT although we continue to provide inpatient Geriatric consults.

Delirium Pathway Project. Led by Dr. Visoiu, we worked with leaders in psychiatry, nursing, ED, and IT to design a Pathway to improve the approach to delirium in older patients. The goal is universal screening, prevention, and enhanced interprofessional management, from the ED to the wards. As described above, we integrated ED screening of all patients >65 years old. Unexpected departures of key faculty and UPMC’s CMIO delayed further intervention, so we switched our focus to reducing nursing documentation, partnering with UPMC’s CNO (Lorenz) and CQO (Minnier). We found that documentation could be substantially streamlined; for instance, we reduced required nurse documentation for a new admission from 36 electronic screens to 8. The hope was to use the freed up time to enable enhanced screening and intervention – not only for delirium, but for other problems as well. Unfortunately, the initiative was suspended owing to UPMC’s new partnership with Microsoft and anticipated changes in the EMR. Fortunately, under Dr. Rubin’sleadership, the successful HELP program continues at Shadyside on 11 wards (JAGS, 2017).Supportive Services Program. Developed in partnership with UPMC’s Health Plan and the Section of Palliative Care, early analyses proved that this program improved care and saved over $500,000/year. Based on its success at UPMC’s PUH, Dr. Tadic launched a new base at UPMC Mercy in FY14 where, over the past 5 years, it has also generated a demand for consults on patients not insured by the Health Plan. Both sites are staffed by a nurse who is backed up by faculty members from geriatrics and palliative care. By identifying and consulting proactively on high risk patients, our goal is to minimize complications, ensure a seamless post-discharge transition, and reduce readmissions.

A positive score triggers the provider to evaluate and treat the patient according to an algorithm we adapted with input from our geropsychiatrists. Patients are followed for 6-12 months by an interdisciplinary team that monitors response and assists with problem-solving.

Annual Wellness Visits. In FY19, we more than doubled the number of these visits by automatically scheduling patients to see a CRNP before/after their routine PCP visit. During the visit, the focus is on preventive services, immunizations, diet and exercise, and advance directives. We continue to garner top scores for preventive services across UPP.

Emergency CareIn 2015, we and our colleagues in the Magee-Women’s Emergency Department became one of just two US programs selected to work with leaders from the American College of Emergency Physicians and the Society of Academic Emergency Physicians to improve care of older emergency patients. Funded by the Hartford Foundation, our first project began with development of a quality improvement program to enhance detection and management of delirium. Repeated QI cycles have improved nurse-administered screening of older adults from 33% to 90% and the rate of physician confirmatory testing to 85%, with a positive screen triggering a pharmacist review of medications. Reliability was enhanced in FY19 by incorporating the tools and process into the EMR, which has also enabled us to help disseminate the program to UPMC Mercy. The Magee team is now developing a standardized care plan for admitted patients and refining educational tools for patients and family. Follow up of patients with a positive score is underway to determine who can be safely discharged from the ED and the support required. A second project recently began to improve pain management for geriatric patients. The goal is to train ED physicians to provide regional anesthesia with femoral blocks for patients with hip fractures.

Inpatient CareMagee Acute Care and Transitions Program (ACT). Our program was based on two tenets: optimal geriatric care requires anticipating problems and preventing them, and improved systems can help to do so. Led by Dr. Visoiu, over 8 years we identified new problems in medication reconciliation (Marcum et al., J Am GeriatrSoc, 2015 [2 articles]), expanded and enhanced our Geriatric Consult Service, and worked with orthopedics to improve protocols for all fracture patients. We also sustained our previous advances, maintaining low ALOS, complication rates, and readmissions (10%). More gratifying, improvement in these metrics was sustained across the entire medical service for years. Unfortunately, faced with staff turnover, an unforeseen faculty shortage, and increased demand for our help on the PUH Trauma service, we had to suspend the MWH ACT although we continue to provide inpatient Geriatric consults.

Delirium Pathway Project. Led by Dr. Visoiu, we worked with leaders in psychiatry, nursing, ED, and IT to design a Pathway to improve the approach to delirium in older patients. The goal is universal screening, prevention, and enhanced interprofessional management, from the ED to the wards. As described above, we integrated ED screening of all patients >65 years old. Unexpected departures of key faculty and UPMC’s CMIO delayed further intervention, so we switched our focus to reducing nursing documentation, partnering with UPMC’s CNO (Lorenz) and CQO (Minnier). We found that documentation could be substantially streamlined; for instance, we reduced required nurse documentation for a new admission from 36 electronic screens to 8. The hope was to use the freed up time to enable enhanced screening and intervention – not only for delirium, but for other problems as well. Unfortunately, the initiative was suspended owing to UPMC’s new partnership with Microsoft and anticipated changes in the EMR. Fortunately, under Dr. Rubin’s leadership, the successful HELP program continues at Shadyside on 11 wards (JAGS, 2017).Supportive Services Program. Developed in partnership with UPMC’s Health Plan and the Section of Palliative Care, early analyses proved that this program improved care and saved over $500,000/year. Based on its success at UPMC’s PUH, Dr. Tadic launched a new base at UPMC Mercy in FY14 where, over the past 5 years, it has also generated a demand for consults on patients not insured by the Health Plan. Both sites are staffed by a nurse who is backed up by faculty members from geriatrics and palliative care. By identifying and consulting proactively on high risk patients, our goal is to minimize complications, ensure a seamless post-discharge transition, and reduce readmissions.

Inpatient Delirium and Dementia. Since 2016, Dr. Tadic has mentored two nurses in their quality improvement initiatives at UPMC Mercy. One employs delirium screening and prevention for inpatients over age 65 on the 12E medical progressive unit. Another uses a designated space (room 10026 on 10E) to help prevent dementia in patients with a history of dementia. Both projects have reduced use of sedative agents as the incidence of delirium declined.

Geriatric Medicine Trauma Consult Service at PUH. We continue providing geriatric consultation for high risk patients at PUH, in partnership with general medicine. Propensity analyses by the Wolff Center in FY18 documented a 42% reduction in readmissions for such patients despite being selected for increased vulnerability.

Fracture Liaison Service (FLS). As national pressure mounts to decrease length of stay, most fracture patients are now discharged without assessment or treatment of the underlying cause. With extramural funding, Dr. Greenspan designed this novel service, which increased bone density screening in such patients from 9% to 57% and appropriate medical treatment from 4% to 45%. This would have translated into an improved rating in the HEDIS measure from 1 star to 4 stars. More importantly, it was accompanied by reduction in the re-fracture rate from 10% to 1.3%. Based on these results, UPMC has supported the program which is now the model advocated by the National Osteoporosis Foundation.

Home CareLiving at Home (Dr. Rodriguez, Medical Director). This team-based preventive program collaborates with PCPs to provide advanced care coordination for roughly 500 high risk, community-dwelling elderly with evidence of inadequate social support and cognitive and functional compromise. Nurses and social workers make home visits to assist with managing medications, keeping medical appointments, arranging in-home and community services, and defining goals of care. Results have been excellent (Castle, Resnick, et al., JApplied Gerontol, 2014), and participation in the program has been consistently associated with lower rates of emergency department visits and hospitalizations.

Long-Term Care (LTC)Reducing Unplanned Admissions. Led by Drs. Nace and Handler, in collaboration with the Aging Institute and Senior Communities, we established a comprehensive program to reduce unplanned admissions from nursing homes (NHs) to the hospital. It focuses on four key phases: a) improved understanding of patients’ care goals, b) earlier detection of deterioration, c) improved communication among team members, and d) use of clinical care pathways. The program reduced unplanned admissions across UPMC-owned NHs by 45% (from 4.9/1000 patient days in Jan 2010 to 2.7 in June 2013, with subsequent plateau). Outcomes of this program were responsible for UPMC Community Provider Services receiving a $19 million CMS Innovation Award (“RAVEN”) to implement and evaluate the program in 20 non-UPMC facilities. Based on the success of the new program, which netted savings of $5 million (Health Affairs 2017), CMS awarded us another $20 million to sustain the intervention in the 20 NHs, replicate it in another 20 NHs, and test a new payment model for all 40 NHs that pays both them and their practitioners to provide higher-level care on site.

Telemedicine. Led by Dr. Handler, and in coordination with Curavi, in FY19 we

expanded our telemedicine service still further. Acquisition of New York’s TripleCare has enabled us to now cover >100 NHs across 14 states. In addition, we expanded our hours of coverage, from 84 to 108 hours of night and weekend coverage per week. Our combined entity has now conducted more than 25,000 consults resulting in >7,800 avoided hospitalizations.

Teledementia. Led by Dr. Rossi, we continued our innovative VA teledementia program (JAGS 2017) and added more VA partners from across the country. Together, they are utilizing national VA and CMS databases to evaluate the novel program’s health impact, as well as its effect on polypharmacy and under-prescribing. In 2017, Dr. Rossi added a new component: telesupport for those who care for these challenging patients. The program has decreased caregiver burden, and she next plans to expand the intervention into patient’s homes.

Dementia Care Management Initiative. The Division has led local and state initiatives to reduce unnecessary antipsychotic usage among nursing home residents. During our leadership of the Pennsylvania Dementia Care Partnership, usage declined 30% statewide in the past 7 years. In addition, by emphasizing an interprofessional team approach, usage at Division-affiliated SNFs has declined as well and is now 15.0%—a level below state and national averages.

Antimicrobial Stewardship. Under Dr. Nace’s leadership, and funded by AHRQ, the Division is spearheading new approaches to antimicrobial stewardship in long-term care. First, he helped to develop a national antimicrobial toolkit (https://www.ahrq.gov/nhguide/index.html). Second, he and his colleagues completed the Optimizing Antibiotic Stewardship in LTC Settings (OASIS) project, which involved 12 sites in Wisconsin and PA. Employing a systems approach, they compared antibiotic prescribing workflows at each site. Communication and collaboration between nursing staff and prescribers were identified as the highest priority targets. Based on the results, a post-prescribing review (“antibiotic timeout”) was tested and analysis of the results is underway. Third, since suspected UTI is the leading cause of inappropriate antibiotic use in the LTC setting, Dr. Nace launched the “Improving Outcomes of UTI Management (IOU)” project. As part of this study, the first evidence-based guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of uncomplicated cystitis were developed and pilot tested in 25 facilities (12 intervention and 13 control sites). The intervention led to a 27% reduction in inappropriate treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria, a 17% reduction in overall antibiotic use for UTI, and a 67% reduction in C. difficile infections, all without a change in mortality or hospitalizations. The guidelines and tools have been disseminated to all of the original control sites and to two more dissemination cohorts, thereby reaching >50 homes across the country. Based on this work, Dr. Nace received a 2019 grant from the PA Department of Health to train nurses, prescribers, and pharmacists to use the Modified Medication Appropriateness Index for Uncomplicated Cystitis (MMAI-UC), a modified version of a tool used in the IOU study. In addition to training, the project will determine the reliability of applying the tool across disciplines to test whether the MMAI-UC can be used as an antibiotic quality measure. This work is important because all current antibiotic stewardship measures report utilization, but none report on the more important aspect – appropriateness of antibiotic use. Dr. Nace hopes to develop an automated scoring version of this tool which can be incorporated into the National Healthcare Safety Networks (NHSN) reporting system. Dr. Nace and his team received the 2019 ABIM/AMDA Choosing Wisely Champion award for their work on improving antibiotic stewardship for UTI.

Optimal Influenza Vaccines for Older Adults. The Division is collaborating with the Pittsburgh Vaccination Research Group to evaluate the effectiveness of different influenza vaccines in non-frail, pre-frail, and frail older adults. Led by Dr. Nace, this research is also investigating the impact of sarcopenia in vaccine

Drs. Keisha Ward and Rollin Wright were among the many divisional faculty recognized for long term care this year.

RESEARCH AND OTHER SCHOLARLY ACTIVITIES

The Division of Geriatric Medicine seeks to: (1) conduct cutting-edge research to improve the health of older adults and (2) train the next generation of investigators to do the same. Areas of inquiry includebiology of aging, mobility/falls, frailty/sarcopenia, cardiology, chronic pain, osteoporosis, polypharmacy, incontinence, insomnia, rehabilitation, elder abuse, telemedicine, and long term care. Our funding contributed to Pitt’s being among the nation’s top recipients of NIH funding in aging.

Divisional faculty have found that: (1) healthspan can be reliably assessed in mice, which will enable investigators to better focus on interventions most relevant and promising for human testing (Rizzo); (2) response to physiologic DNA damage drives aging rather than the damage itself (Gurkar); (3) a new biomarker index predicts mortality independent of organ-based comorbidity (Newman); (4) in cognitively normal seniors, there appear to be 2 phenotypes of geriatric urge incontinence, one in which the brain plays the dominant role and a behavioral approach is optimal, and another in which the brain’s role is not key and for which medication may be more effective (Clarkson, Resnick); (5) the HELP program reduces not only delirium and falls but also readmissions (Rubin); (6) among incapacitated ICU patients, discussions often fail to include the patient’s own values and preferences (Scheunemann); and (7) nearly 40% of patients discharged from hospital to a nursing home suffer an adverse event, the majority of which could be prevented (Handler).

This past year, our faculty members were once again recognized for their research. They gave more than 50 presentations at annual meetings of the American Geriatrics Society, Gerontological Society of America, and AMDA. Additionally, both Drs. Scheunemann and Makaroun won AGS Presidential Poster Awards, and Dr. Nace won the ABIM/AMDA Choosing Wisely Award.

Division faculty also served on editorial boards and as visiting professors, committee chairs, and keynote speakers at national and international meetings. For example, Dr. Newman is Editor of the Journal of

Gerontology: Medical Sciences, and Dr. Nace is Associate Editor of JAMDA. Dr. Greenspan serves as President of the National Osteoporosis Foundation. Dr. Forman acted as protagonist in the AGS Plenary Debate Session on statin use while Dr. Hanlon gave the prestigious Peter Lamy Lecture at the ASCP Annual Meeting and served on the AGS’ “Beers Drugs” Update Panel. In addition, Drs. Greenspan and Newman served on NIA’s Board of Scientific Counselors and External Advisory Council, respectively, while Dr. Greenspan also served on NIA’s Clinical Trials Advisory Panel. And, Dr. Forman served as Chairman of the American Heart Association’s Committee on Older Populations.


With the departure of 5 investigators to prestigious positions elsewhere, we have spent the past 5 years recruiting and rebuilding. The Research Expenditures graph below reflects funding for which we serve as PI at Pitt, but omits >$2 million of our VA research funding, as well as Dr. Newman’s funding.

Faculty Research Interests and ActivitiesNeil M. Resnick, MD Division ChiefA Professor of Medicine and Division Chief, Dr. Resnick focuses his research on the pathophysiology and therapy of geriatric syndromes. He serves as PI and Co-I for NIH-funded multidisciplinary studies of urinary incontinence that incorporate physiologic, neuroimaging, clinical, pharmacological and behavioral research aims.

He holds appointments in both Divisions at UPMC as well as in both the Geriatrics Research Education and Clinical Center (GRECC) and the Cardiology Division at the Pittsburgh VA. With NIH funding, he is studying the benefit of nitrate capsules

for fatigue and function in older adults with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction. In two other NIH projects, he is studying the impact of exercise on skeletal muscle gene transcription (Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity in Humans [MoTrPAC]) and the impact of exercise training on cognition (Investigating Gains in Neurocognition in an Intervention Trial of Exercise [IGNITE]). At the VA, he is comparing the impact of different training regimens (strength, aerobic, and inspiratory muscle training) on skeletal muscle morphology, gene expression, and functional capacity. He is also researching the utility of prehabilitation in frail elderly prior to abdominal and cardiothoracic surgery. Finally, Dr. Forman is funded by PCORI to devise novel strategies to improve cardiac rehabilitation, especially methods to improve enrollment, adherence, and value for complex, older cardiovascular patients.

TEACHING ACTIVITIES

Division faculty members teach trainees at every level, from high school student to practicing physician. In addition to the training noted in the research section, we also teach advanced practice providers and trainees in pharmacy, nursing, psychology, chaplaincy, physical/occupational therapy, and social work.

Medical StudentsLed by Dr. Wright, we teach an innovative and required week-long interprofessional geriatrics course for more than 200 students from the schools of medicine (MS-3), nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, and allied health (OT, PT, Speech, Social Work, Nutrition & Dietetics, and PAs). Evaluation shows improved knowledge, attitudes, and skills in geriatric medicine and team-based practices. In addition, Drs. Scheunemann and Resnick direct a novel Geriatrics Area of Concentration, which enables medical students to “major” in geriatrics (12 in FY19). In FY19, Drs. Greenspan and Wright mentored three medical students, whose projects resulted in two David Martin awards and five poster presentations at local and national conferences. Finally, we sponsor scholarly projects for three to seven students/year, many of whom are funded by our T32.

Medical ResidentsWe teach a required month-long geriatrics experience in the clinic, home, hospital, and nursing home settings for all UPMC PUH and Mercy residents in internal medicine. For FY20, the residency agreed to revise the PUH residency program: all interns will spend two weeks on the geriatrics consult service and all PGY2 residents will spend a month with us, split between our geriatric hospitalist service and our outpatient and SNF practices. Led by Dr. Wright, we also offer an innovative Geriatrics Track that allows four to nine residents to “major” in geriatrics; these residents base their continuity clinic in geriatrics and also care for panels of homebound patients. Dr. Wright has also created four advanced geriatrics rotations which attracted three additional Track and non-Track residents. Several of these innovations have been featured at national AGS meetings, including the “Roadmap,” milestones, and pharmacology QI projects, as well as a new curriculum to teach residents how to communicate and work with patients and families living with dementia.

Geriatric Medicine FellowshipIn FY19 we trained four clinical fellows, including a board-certified cardiologist who completed an innovative training track in geriatric cardiology in preparation for an academic career. Our geriatric-palliative care fellow is completing her training program, which includes an integrative scholarly project, and our academic-track fellow completed her Masters in Medical Education and has accepted an academic position. We also recruited four excellent fellows for FY20.

In FY19, the geriatric medicine and psychiatry fellowships embraced and embedded a longitudinal curriculum developed by Dr. Wright to teach fellows how to work with people and families living with dementia and how to lead team-based dementia behavior problem solving in the long-term care setting. Five fellows presented final projects to improve the challenging dementia behaviors of five patients they followed during the fellowship year. Dr. Wright presented this curriculum at the 2019 AMDA-PALTC conference.

Dr. Wright also mentored Rachel Jantea, our first T32 education fellow. Dr. Jantea completed a Masters of Science in Medical Education as well as a research project in which she designed, implemented, and evaluated an innovative curriculum designed to teach interprofessional teamwork to health sciences students rotating through her Interprofessional Dedicated Education Unit (IPDEU) at PUH. She also presented this at two national conferences.

Advanced Practice Provider StudentsWe continue to train both Physician Assistant and CRNP students in acute care geriatrics.

High School Students (University of Pittsburgh Health Scholars Academy)The Division teaches in this highly competitive—and highly rated—summer program on aging; 25 elite high school students from throughout Pennsylvania are selected to participate each year.

Continuing Medical Education (CME)Recognized by a national award from AGS, this year our annual CME course again attracted 400 attendees from more than 20 states. Dr. Greenspan continues to teach programs on osteoporosis which she helped to create for the American Academy of Family Medicine, ISCD, and the National Osteoporosis Foundation. Several faculty led “Meet the Professor” sessions at national meetings (e.g., ACP, AGS).

OtherOur faculty author chapters on aging for major textbooks, including Cecil’s (Resnick; Greenspan), UpToDate (Weiner), Braunwald’s The Heart (Forman), and DiPiro’s Pharmacotherapy: A Pathophysiologic Approach (Hanlon). Division faculty have also developed geriatric curricula for surgical subspecialties, including ENT, urology, and gynecology.
