Additional Information

Deciding whether to provide therapy or to withhold treatment is a question that presents itself to an individual therapist on a daily basis. In acute care and other settings, the presentation of the complex patient often creates a difficult scenario to make evidence-based decisions. The ultimate goal of each clinician is to provide every patient with effective interventions to help them progress to their highest functional level. This course will present current evidence- based information and protocols to help assist every clinician to make the best decision for each of their patients.

Through a multi-media course and interactive discussion, each participant will review key anatomy and physiological principles to help create a solid background for patient assessment and effective interventions to improve patient progression and discharge outcomes. By using key indicators from cardiovascular status, medication use, comorbidities and diagnoses, participants will learn skills to enhance their decision-making ability to improve patient outcomes. Participants will leave having a better understanding of improving their role along with a clear multi-disciplinary approach of therapists working together to improve outcomes in the acute care setting.
