Assessing the Dependent Patient in the Acute Stages

ACUTE CARE COURSE DATES: TBD

HERE'S A SNEAK PEEK 

Assessing the MAX A to DEPENDENT patient at the  Acute Stages: 

The step-by-step formula.

* Too often do therapists discontinue OT services for a "DEPENDENT" patient because  

(truth moment) they either have:

 NO IDEA what they can do for them 

or 

conclude "no skilled OT needs." 

However, when we find this is a patient in the acute stages of receiving medical attention, including brain injury, stroke, neurological impairment, complications from overdose, cardiac and other significant acute medical conditions, our role in the interdisciplinary team is more crucial than ever! 

*We have the skills to assess the patient for potential in functional performance and this is THE MOST critical time to do so.  

We decipher and investigate the process of the acute phases to determine if this patient is able to participate in the future, as well as determine the most appropriate discharge setting for them when leaving the acute care or long term acute care hospital.

Any course offered that is available to licensed OT practitioners may be eligible for Professional Development Units (PDUs also known as CEUs).  It will be prepared with information to provide your local state board (example: course outline and relevancy to Occupational Therapy, Certificate of Completion).

*Please Note: it is the sole responsibility of the practitioner themselves who takes such courses to provide an outline of relevancy to Occupational Therapy and certificate of completion to their local state board to determine if those credits qualify.  

If you are uncertain if an online course counts towards credits or find yourself inquiring from outside the United States, check with your state board for clarification before purchasing this course.  If you just want to expand your OT confidence and knowledge without professional units, enjoy the upcoming courses!
