Home All News & Insights New Knowledge Self-Assessments Will Release in January Phoenix Newsletter – January 2022 New Knowledge Self-Assessments Will Release in January Care of Older Adults KSA and Care of Hospitalized Patients KSA Available in January January 19, 2022 ABFM will release two (2) new KSAs in January 2022: Care of Older Adults and Care of Hospitalized Patients. Two former KSAs focusing on Care of Vulnerable Elderly and Cerebrovascular Disease have been combined to create the new Care of Older Adults KSA. After completing the Care of Older Adults KSA, you will be able to assess your knowledge gaps in the diagnosis and management of common, and some uncommon, medical conditions that occur in older adults, including geriatric psychiatry. You will be able to provide evidence-based medical guidance to older adults in areas of prevention of disease and rehabilitation from disease, and you will have a better understanding of health systems, policies, and issues as they relate to older adult patients. Additionally, the new Care of Hospitalized Patients KSA will replace the former Hospital Medicine KSA. After completing the Care of Hospitalized Patients KSA, you will be able to increase your knowledge of the diagnosis and treatment of common medical conditions that require hospitalization. You will also have a better understanding of how to prevent and manage common complications in these patients and to address the areas of discharge planning and systems-based care. These activities will be accessible in the Self-Assessment section of your MyABFM Portfolio.
