Improving Patient Outcomes for the Intellectually & Developmentally Disabled

In this week’s episode, we tackle a topic that is sometimes overlooked and deserves more attention: the care of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities: the care of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Ginny Ramsey, DNAP, CRNA, ARNP, CHSE has dedicated her career to improving patient outcomes and raising awareness about the unique challenges facing this underserved community, and today’s show will help all nurse anesthetists provide better care.   Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode: Why people with disabilities don’t have the same level of trust with nurses that most people do. Healthcare access and inequality for individuals with disabilities. The differences in care for these patients and the best approach to take for anesthesiologists. Ways that we can improve anesthesia care for these patients. The different complexities like patient advocacy and sensory concerns.   Connect with Ginny: [email protected]   Learn more about GIDDN: http://www.golisanofoundation.org/Golisano-Foundation/About/About.aspx   Visit us online: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/   Get the CE Certificate here: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Beyond-the-Mask-CE-Cert-FILLABLE.pdf   Help us grow by leaving a review: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-the-mask-innovation-opportunities-for-crnas/id1440309246   Donate to Our Heart Your Hands here: https://www.ourheartsyourhands.org/donate
