FOLLOW-UP RECOMMENDATIONS: 1) PCP within 1-2 weeks; hospital follow-up of AMS believed 2/2 polypharmacy (discontinued Elavil and stopped Norco and Seroquel). Concern for early dementia and probably needs further outpatient work up for this. NEEDs anticoagulation tx re-prescribed, medication coverage from insurance lapsed until new year; she could not afford either so we paid for 1 month supply at Meijer of Eliquis.

PRIVACY, MD Specialty: Internal Medicine Relationship: PCP - General   PRIVACY    Next Steps: Follow up in 1 week(s)   DETAILS OF HOSPITAL STAY: PRESENTING PROBLEM: Shortness of breath, altered mental status   HOSPITAL COURSE: Patient is a 68-year-old female who was admitted on 12/17/2021 for symptoms of COVID-19 found to be positive.  Patient is vaccinated but no booster.  Patient never became hypoxic.  The symptoms resolved and she improved.   Abnormal UA Positive for nitrates, leukocytes, and bacteria patient was given Rocephin for 4 days but urine culture came back with mixed flora.  Blood cultures had no growth to date.   Altered mental status Mild cognitive impairment Intermittent confusion, agitation, forgetfulness.  Throughout this she was continually oriented x3, but would intermittently refuse care and even noted herself to feel confused.  This improved per patient, she states she was also hallucinating use and this is improved.  Drug screen was negative, since acute cystitis was ruled out and electrolytes remain normal concluded this is polypharmacy and/or early onset dementia.  During hospitalization patient's Elavil has been discontinued using p.r.n. Mirapex for restless legs, Seroquel a Norco had recently been discontinued but believe patient was continuing to take these at home. HCF did evaluate patient and did diagnosed with a mild cognitive impairment with a Moca-B of 13/22.  Do question a early onset dementia and may need further workup outpatient.  Patient is alert and oriented x3 she is able to make her own decisions.  Due to her waxing and waning decisions, concerns with housing and financial issues social work did consult APS who will check in with patient.  Patient's son told her that he would stay with her in the interim. PT/OT met with patient and did recommend home health which has been set up by care management   AFib Per our records patient had not been feeling her anticoagulation, she has a lapse in her insurance coverage for medications and states that she cannot afford the Eliquis/Xarelto.  Her insurance is supposed to renew with a new year.  We sent Eliquis to my our pharmacy and gave give cards to cover for 1 month coverage.  Will have her follow up closely with her PCP to ensure that insurance has renewed to cover this and re-prescribe.   Now that we have some distant supervision via son and a safe social discharge plan, patient is medically cleared to discharge.
