Description

Home Health rehabilitation is both an innovative and affordable component of delivering quality health care to patients in their homes. As a home health provider, therapists have the opportunity to make sustainable differences in the outcomes and lives of patients. Therapists are provided the opportunity to spend one on one time with patients, in their environment and with their families and support systems. As a new therapist to home health, a seasoned provider, or someone considering this field as a career, this course is designed to provide tools to guide you in evidenced based assessment, intervention treatment progression. This course will give you treatment ideas based on special populations, assessment findings and appropriate considerations based on patients’ specific health care needs. It will provide tools for screening cognition, literacy, depression, motivation, and quality of life measures. The course will provide education considerations for medication management, motivation, compliance and sustaining gains for the medically complex patient. This course will delve into documentation of homebound status, Oasis C documentation and will review guidelines for documenting functional progress. There will be case studies, labs, and demonstrations of tools to take home and immediately put into practice.
