Diagnoses most seen in a post-acute setting are rapidly shifting to a more frail, multi-system involved caseload, with or without the new COVID-19 diagnosis. 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 is necessary from both a payment and care perspective. Knowing what to focus on when evaluating and setting the plan of care will be even more critical in this current environment. This course is centered on providing evidence- based tests and measures to use for evaluations, frameworks for effective care planning to reduce re-hospitalizations and evidence-based interventions for optimal outcomes in treating the complex frail adult in the SNF and Home Health settings. Updates to post-acute care for COVID recovery will also be included. Dysphagia, dementia, and delirium-related screening, outcome testing and interventions will be discussed as many of the patients treated in the SNF and Home Health settings often present with one or more of these diagnoses.
Objectives:
At the end of this course, participants will be able to
- Describe the most common effects on the body after long-term ICU treatment.
- Choose 3 outcome measures specific to medically complex and frail persons in post-acute rehab.
- Determine appropriate screening tools for use with patients in post-acute settings.
- Utilize best practices and presented frameworks/processes to prevent re-hospitalization for the medically complex and/or frail patient.
- Identify best practices for care transitions in the frail or medically complex patient.
Suggested Audience: Physical Therapists and Assistants, Occupational Therapists and Assistants, Speech and Language Pathologists
