Course Description:
Patient diagnoses most seen in the home care setting is rapidly shifting, leading to a more frail, multi-system involved caseload. Efficient identification of critical illness-related deficits and frailty will allow a clinician to perform a more thorough evaluation, develop a more comprehensive plan of care and obtain positive patient outcomes, all of which are necessary from both a value-based payment as well as a care perspective. Knowing what to focus on when evaluating and setting the plan of care will be even more critical in this environment. This course is centered on providing evidence-based frameworks for effective care planning to reduce re-hospitalizations, as well as evidence-based interventions for optimal outcomes in treating the complex frail adult in the home health setting. Dysphagia, frailty, dehydration, and delirium-related screening will be discussed as many of the patients in home health settings often present with one or more of these comorbidities which, if left unidentified, can lead directly to poor outcomes and rehospitalizations.
Objectives:
At the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Determine appropriate screening tools for use with patients in home health setting.
- Utilize best practices and presented frameworks/processes to prevent re-hospitalization for the medically complex and/or frail patient.
- Describe clinical signs and symptoms of complex medical diagnoses
- Identify best practices for care transitions in the frail and/or medically complex patient.
- Describe evidence-based motivational tools to enhance patient/caregiver education in the home setting.
Suggested Audience: Home Health Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants, Home Health Occupational Therapists and Certified Occupational Assistants.
