Plenaries >>

PLENARY IV: Pragmatically Using Electronic Patient Reported Measures to Drive Proactive Rehabilitation Care: Our Future? >>

Proactively treating the causes disablement; physical impairments, pain, and related immobility, can significantly prolong patients’ functional independence, improve their quality of life (QoL) and avoid unneeded expensive and extended hospitalizations. Current rehabilitation service delivery models are reactive in nature and tend to focus on catastrophic disability, characteristics that render them ill suited to detect or address early disablement in cancer or any vulnerable patient group. A model that proactively addresses these needs is needed.

IC 22: Comprehensive Management of Head and Neck Cancer: Optimizing Outcomes Through a Multi-Disciplinary Approach >>

Approximately 30,000 head and neck cancers (HNC) are diagnosed annually in the United States, accounting for 6 percent of all malignancies. With medical advances, the life span of these patients is increasing. Oncology-related complications are becoming more prevalent and can significantly affect function and quality of life. Multi-disciplinary rehabilitation management can improve outcomes for this patient population but its benefits are poorly understood. This course will provide current evidence-based information about HNC medical diagnosis and treatment. Comprehensive and innovative rehabilitation strategies for assessment and treatment will be presented with a focus on maximizing outcomes using a team approach.
