we will post some articles on the resource page
in the interim you may be interested in this link: https://www.rdmag.com/article/2017/08/virtual-snowworld-helps-burn-victims-cope-extreme-painAlso we can talk off-line if you’d like about a VR Dementia project we did at Baycrest to raise empathy.
LisaI asked a former colleague who now works in LTC elsewhere how they manage balancing the budgetary restrictions for food with the wish to provide healthy, lower sodium foods. He noted “LTCs have selective menus, generally one option is a lower sodium one. RDs should adjust the menu based on the individual needs. Having said that it is very challenging to manage a very low sodium diet in LTC setting, and usually we try to liberalize the diet if medical condition permits to enhance dining experience.” So it sounds like everyone is having similar challenges. Any thoughts/hints from the group?
Hi Paul
are you asking about Virtual Reality? I know it has been used very successfully with people who have pain, especially from burns to distract them during treatment. If this is what you are asking about we can get some references. If it’s not what you were asking I still think it might be a really interesting idea!
LisaHI everyone. My name is Lisa Sokoloff and I’m a member of the Hub team at Baycrest. I am a speech-language pathologist by profession but currently work as the Manager, Training & Simulation at Baycrest. I’m very proud to be the director of Project ECHO-COE and look forward to meeting all of our learning partners at the first session tomorrow!
