COVID-19: Flattening the Curve for America's Elderly Patients Through Quarantine and Isolation
Download MP3In this special episode of the MGMA Insights podcast, we continue our series on COVID-19 and how it’s impacting healthcare professionals and their patients. Experts agree that one of the most promising ways to flatten the curve is through quarantine or isolation. This is especially important with the senior community.
To help explain the challenges of keeping seniors safe, we’re joined today by geriatric neuropsychologist Bill Mansbach, who is CEO and founder of Counterpoint Health Services, a multi-disciplinary behavioral healthcare company specializing in geriatrics and dementia care.
