\r\n Mini-ACE for Cognitive Screening<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n
\r\n

The Mini-Addenbrooke\u2019s Cognitive Examination (Mini-ACE) is the recommended cognitive impairment screening tool in New Zealand, to assist with dementia diagnosis. The Mini-ACE replaced the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA\u00a9) test in September 2020, as New Zealand\u2019s recommended cognitive screening test. Anyone who conducts cognitive impairment screening should be using the Mini-ACE test, unless they are willing to pay for individual training and certification through the MoCA Institute or they are using an alternate test for some reason. Carole Kerr, dementia educator and registered nurse, says the initial changeover from 1 August last year went well. \u201cMany practices have made the transition […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n

When caring for stroke survivors, balancing realism with hopeful enthusiasm is important, says Andrew Buxton, who shared his personal experience with health professionals at the South Island Stroke Study Day. \u201cReality is good, but hope is essential.\u201d Andrew spoke alongside his wife Peta about their journey following his stroke, at the annual event held in Christchurch. \u201cOne day I was fit and healthy and had no known risk factors, then two days later I\u2019m in hospital, looking at a very different future. Somewhere in the first week, I knew I had a choice \u2013 I could either give up to […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n

News 28 Oct 2020 As the South Island ACP (Advance Care Plan) facilitator role \u2013 supported by the South Island Alliance \u2013 comes to an end, I thought it was timely to reflect on the progress we have made with advance care planning. Advance care planning is one of several priorities across the South Island. With the recent COVID-19 pandemic, it has brought the need for ACPs into sharper focus both for health teams, and for a person and their wh\u0101nau. International evidence has found that advance care planning leads to less unwanted aggressive medical care, better quality of life […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n

\r\n Electronic Acp Solution Live Across The Region<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n

News 09 Sep 2020 The ACP Progress Note provides a single, regional solution for clinicians to document and access important discussions with patients about their future health care planning and end-of-life wishes. Canterbury Initiative ACP Facilitator Jane Goodwin says it\u2019s a consistent way for clinicians to log those conversations, which can then be electronically shared securely. \u201cAdvance care planning conversations don\u2019t always lead to a person creating or completing an ACPlan. So, the ACP Progress Note allows clinicians to document discussions in a consistent location that can be accessed by other health care staff across the sector.\u201d Canterbury DHB initially […]<\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n
