Innovation Profile: Lisa Gibbs | UC Health
Standing up for senior health.
Title: UC Irvine clinical professor of family medicine, associate director of the Program in Geriatrics, medical director of the SeniorHealth Center
Education:? M.D., Stanford University
Project: Transformation of the Primary Care Practice to the Patient-Centered Medical Home Model
Innovation Profile is a monthly feature highlighting the work of a UC Center for Health Quality and Innovation? fellow or grantee.
By Alec Rosenberg
It?s not easy growing old. The golden years can be challenged by a myriad of conditions such as arthritis, heart disease and memory loss that often overlap and are increasingly costly to treat.
UC Irvine?s Dr. Lisa Gibbs has seen the toll that time can take on the health of older adults and their caregivers ? and she has dedicated her career to improving geriatric care.
Gibbs became interested in working with older adults during medical school at Stanford, where she became involved in research on Alzheimer?s disease. She nurtured that interest at UC Davis, where she completed her residency in family medicine and then a fellowship in geriatric medicine. ?I realized how vulnerable this population is,? Gibbs said.
She pointed to a couple married for 50 years. The wife had dementia, but then her caregiver husband developed prostate cancer. ?His care was probably delayed because he was so focused on caring for her,? Gibbs said. ?Caregivers also need our care and attention.?
Gibbs leads a team dedicated to providing the best in geriatric care as medical director of the UC Irvine SeniorHealth Center and clinical professor for the Program in Geriatrics. She was granted a UC Center for Health Quality and Innovation fellowship to enhance that care by turning the center into the UC system?s first patient-centered medical home (PCMH) for seniors.
A patient-centered medical home is a physician-led team approach to providing comprehensive primary care. Unlike traditional primary care, the PCMH model proactively manages all levels of care for an entire patient population, rather than focusing only on patients when they seek care for illness or injury.
?We?re hoping that with an interdisciplinary team approach and improved care coordination that we?ll be able to increase the quality of care, improve patient satisfaction and reduce overall health care costs,? Gibbs said.
The SeniorHealth Center already places the patient and family at the center of care, coordinating in teams with geriatricians, psychologists, pharmacists, nurses and social workers, Gibbs said. The fellowship will help lead the center to enhance its services by adding key features:
- Open access to care, leaving time slots available for same-day appointments. ?This should reduce visits to the emergency room,? Gibbs said. ?Patients will be able to be seen right away by physicians who know them instead of going to urgent or emergency room care.?
- Electronic medical records to help track patient outcomes and population data.
- Self-care support and resources.
- Care management, including individualized care plans.
- Referral tracking and follow up.
- Continuous quality improvement.
UC Irvine plans to apply next year for National Committee for Quality Assurance certification as a patient-centered medical home. Then educators will develop related curriculum for medical students, residents and fellows to learn how to optimally care for older adults and share its findings throughout UC Health.
?UC is a leader in developing innovations,? Gibbs said. ?We?re willing to look at different models and newly developed models of health care because we truly do care about delivering the best care and service.?

Video: Data reveal where Romney and Obama voters eat
>>> we begin this morning with mitt romney pulling ahead in the presidential race . we begin with peter alexander . good morning.
>> reporter: these knew polls are basically a coin flat. nationally it's tied, within the margin of error and in critical swing states different polls say it could really go either way. of course, this isn't the final stretch. the next eight days could easily be the most important of the entire campaign. we have two final presidential debates during that time, including tomorrow's job hall, kind of like a job interview . both the president and mitt romney will apply for the job in person to american voters. on the eve of what could easily be billed as the rematch, both candidates will spend another day in virtual seclusion.
>> hello, everybody. hello, hello.
>> reporter: president obama briefing popping out of debate prep sunday to deliver pizzas and a surprise to supporters.
>> i wanted to call and say thank you. i'm over at the williamsburg office, and i know that you just have been working so hard for the campaign.
>> reporter: his opponent mitt romney pausing for sunday services a ever he claimed what he called a crescendo of enthusiasm for his campaign one day earlier in ohio taking aim at the president.
>> his president keeps getting smaller and smaller as he talks about big bird and so forth, and our crowds keep getting bigger and big sneer in round two tomorrow night, president obama 's surrogates are confident he'll unleash his more aggressive side and blunt romney 's recent surge.
>> i think the momentum will be slowed not just by the president's performance at the second debate, but by the economic numbers that are coming out, that demonstrates that there's been clear progress.
>> reporter: top romney advisers are convinced americans are increasingly in their corner.
>> even if he changes his style and whatever political tactic the president settles on as being in his best interest for this debate, he can't change his records or his policies.
>> reporter: and as first reported in "new york times" both campaigns are digging into each other's personal lives to get out the before, like where you shop, who you date, what you read online. all of it offers clues about how you might vote.
>> it's a fundamental change in how much campaigns know about us and how they know that they can push our buttons to make us go vote for their candidate.
>> reporter: practice, data mining , it's called, has taught the obama campaign its supporters with more than likely to eat at red lobster , shop at burlington coat factory and listen to smooth jazz . romney backers prepare to drink sam adams beer , eat at olive garden and watch college football . both the candidates will spend another day behind closed doors sparring with their practice partners. senator rob portman will be the one who is competing as barack obama for mitt romney and john kerry , the senator from massachusetts playing the role of romney for the president, and win or lose, the president, savannah, is already looking ahead to post-debate. he'll have both bill clinton and bruce springsteen campaigning on his behalf this thursday in ohio.

Lesser-known planets demand cooler names - Computers, Gadgets ...
EXOPLANET Gliese 163c, which could support life, is leading a campaign by obscure planets that are angry about their shit names.
Gliese 163c, Kepler-22 c and HD 85512 b are among the planets outside the solar system that are demanding the right to rename themselves.
Gliese 163c said: ?The ?big eight? ? nine if you count Pluto ? all have awesome names that sound like metal bands or male strippers.
?Small wonder I?m unpopulated with a name like Gliese 163c. I sound like a brand of piles ointment.
?I want to be officially recognised as ?Viper?. Or maybe ?CJ?.
??Jackmaster? also works for me. Yeah, that?s good actually.?
Kepler-22 c said: ?I?d like to be called Darkveil. It sounds very mysterious, and vaguely sexual.?
HD 85512 b said: ?My terrible name makes it hard to meet female planets.
?You didn?t know there were female planets? Truly, mankind has much to learn about the universe.?
