Seniors Care Recommendations released by NLMA NLMA releases recommendations on improving care for seniors - September 15, 2011 - The Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association (NLMA) today released a set of 10 recommendations and a redesigned medical model for improving care for seniors in the acute care system. In March, the NLMA hosted a Seniors Summit comprised of 30 front line nurses, social workers and physicians who collaborated to redesign the current medical model for seniors care. The report from that Summit was then shared with the wider health care community and the public in order to gather additional input and feedback. That consultation process, which concluded over the summer, resulted in the 2011 Seniors Summit: Final Recommendations.
