For the third installment of the dean’s series, NP Pulse: The Voice of the Nurse Practitioner® features a conversation with Dr. Sarah Szanton, dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing and director of its Center on Innovative Care in Aging. Dean Szanton discusses her early career as a health care advocate in Washington, D.C., the observations and experiences that prompted her to enter the nursing profession and the important role nurse practitioners (NPs) and other nurses have in addressing social determinants of health. If you are interested in earning an educational leadership certificate or earning continuing education credit in six key topical areas, register for the 2022 AANP Fall Conference. You may attend in Anaheim, California, Sept. 15-19, or online Sept. 15-Oct. 12.

64. Nurse Practitioners Positively Impact Social Determinants of Health, Featuring Dr. Sarah Szanton

Kenny Lam

We know from study after study that most older adults would prefer to age in place, in their homes, with their families and embedded in their communities.  But our health system is in many ways not particularly well set up to help people age in place.  Medicare does not routinely require measurement or tracking of disability that leads many people to move out of their homes, and many interventions that support people to age in place are unfunded, underfunded, or funded by philanthropy rather than the government. Today we talk with Sarah Szanton, who created the  CAPABLE multi-disciplinary model to help older adults stay at home, and Kenny Lam, who used a national study to examine the  need for home-modification devices.  And we preview another of the AGS songs for the literature update - this one to the tune of “My Get up and Go” by Pete Seeger. Enjoy! -@AlexSmithMD

Disability in the home: Podcast with Sarah Szanton and Kenny Lam

In Season 2, we talked about Aging in Place with the founder of HomesRenewed, which focused on ways to make the built environment work for people who wish to remain in their own homes or apartments and avoid moving into a facility if at all possible.In this episode, we speak with Dr. Sarah Szanton, one of the founders of the CAPABLE Project (https://nursing.jhu.edu/CAPABLE), which takes the problem of aging in place a step further – addressing both the physical space and the functional limitations of the resident. When you pay attention to both the house and the body, the results can be amazing.Resources mentioned in this podcast include:-The CAPABLE Project: https://nursing.jhu.edu/CAPABLE-Man’s Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl (originally published in 1946)About Our Guest:Sarah L. Szanton, PhD, ANP, FAAN is the Endowed Professor for Health Equity and Social Justice and Director of the Center for Innovative Care in Aging at the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing.While making house calls to homebound, low-income elderly patients in West Baltimore, Dr. Szanton noticed that her patients’ environmental challenges were often as pressing as their health challenges. As a result of her observations, she and colleagues at Johns Hopkins University developed a program of research on the role that the environment and functional limitations play in the ability of older adults to “age in place” or stay out of a nursing home. The result is the CAPABLE Project - Community Aging in Place—Advancing Better Living for Elders, which combines handyman services with nursing and occupational therapy to improve mobility, reduce disability, and decrease healthcare costs.
