dementia, bed/wheelchair confinement, hypertension, osteoarthritis,
osteoporsis and obesity was seen for an initial examination (telehealth) to
discuss her chronic medical conditions, evaluate for medical services, and

chronic diagnosis of dementia, medical concerns addressed by daughter.

Treatment
1. Essential hypertension
Notes: I reminded the caregiver of the importance of following a
DASH diet and monitoring their sodium intake (below 2-3 g per
day). The DASH diet consists of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry,
and fish while limiting sugars, red meat, and alcohol. In addition, I
encouraged the caregiver to monitor blood pressure at least
once per day. Continue current medication(s) as prescribed. Discussed
risks and complications of non compliance with medical recommendations
including but not limited to myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular
accident and death.
2. Primary osteoarthritis involving multiple joints
Notes: The patient’s complaints are consistent with osteoarthritis, a
breakdown of cartilage from the joints causing the bone to grind on bone. I
explained to the patient that osteoarthritis usually attacks large
joints; however, it can also affect smaller joints such as the
hand. In addition, painful bone spurs are common with osteoarthritis.
Risk factors include age, obesity, female sex, a previous joint injury, and a
family history of arthritis.Continue current medication as prescribed.
3. Counseling and coordination of care
Notes: I had an extensive conversation with the patients
caretaker, completing the necessary criteria to bill for CCM /
RPM services. After completing an assessment and CCM care planning, I
initiated CCM services, meeting the comprehensive assessment and care
planning requirements. I discussed the availability of CCM services in
applicable call sharing. I made it clear that only one practitioner could
furnish and be paid for CCM services during a calendar month. The patient
has the right to stop CCM services at any time. Lastly, I offered remote
patient monitoring services, which I explained would help us
manage the patient remotely. Our care managers will report any
abnormalities within a reasonable amount of time. Based on the patient’s
values, I will discuss if further intervention is needed. CCM goals and
expected outcomes: 1) Tight glycemic control with a hemoglobin A1c less
than 6.5 (American Diabetes Association), 2) Blood pressure control with a
target reading below 130/80 (American Heart Association), 3) Vitamin D
level greater than 30, 4) LDL below 70, triglycerides below 150, 5) Weight
reduction, 6) Remaining up to date with immunizations including flu,
pneumococcal, Tdap, shingles, COVID-19, and Hepatitis. The patient’s
chronic conditions are stable, and with continued monitoring
and encouragement, the goals set forth are achievable
A) The patient requires frequent reminders and reinforcements
to achieve the goals we set forth, hopefully optimizing their
general health as best as possible. B) I discussed the care plan with
the patient’s nurse, aide, and other providers. C) I advised that we
regularly monitor the patient’s blood pressures and establish a trend to

ascertain efficacy and stability. D) Routine lab work. E) Continued
encouragement, nutritional counseling, and adherence to lifestyle
modifications, mainly targeting obesity. F) I hope that the patients
caretaker will continue to follow the above recommendations.
However, the prognosis is dependent on the patient’s
intervention and cooperation with the above guidelines.
4. Dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere with
behavioral disturbance
Clinical Notes: Reiterated importance of medication compliance, routine
follow up with neurology, implementation of reorientation exercises and
verbal communication to slow progression and exacerbation of symptoms.
Discussed risks and complications of non compliance with medical
recommendations including but not limited to failure to thrive and death.
5. Dependence on wheelchair
Clinical Notes: Hospital bed requested, prescribed. Reiterated importance
of repositioning and implementation of supportive medical equipment
including but not limited to wheelchair cushion and hospital bed to
decrease risk of skin breakdown/skin ulcerations. Fall risk assessment
completed, patient is a high fall risk. Reiterated importance of ambulating
with Helpive device for support and to decrease risk of falls. Discussed
risks and complications of non compliance with medical recommendations
including but not limited to fracture, hemorrhage, deep venous
thrombosis, respiratory failure, osteomyelitis, sepsis and death.
6. Obesity (BMI 30.0-34.9)
Clinical Notes: Reiterated importance of continued implementation of diet
modification. Avoid foods with high fat content to decrease risk of
potential complications and risks including but not limited to myocardial
infarction, cerebrovascular accident and death.
