DESCRIPTION

SeniorsOnBeach_dv2092056_webDetermining the best setting for the patient requires a thorough understanding of rehabilitation services, the essential aspects of care delivery, and evaluation of pivotal evidence-based outcomes. Rehabilitation encompasses a process, practice, and philosophy of care and is not simply a care setting. In order to improve performance, coordination of care across the healthcare system is critical. The purpose of this eight hour educational program is to increase essential knowledge and skills required to optimize the effective care transitions and determination of the most appropriate care outcomes for stroke survivors and their families. Evidence-based transitions of care models and practices will be discussed.

ABSTRACT BODY

In many instances, the process and outcomes associated with care transitions and targeted outcomes for stroke survivors is ineffective. Unfortunately, many clinicans do not possess the necessary knowledge and skills to advocate and facilitate care transitions resulting in high quality outcomes for stroke survivors, families and the healthcare delivery systems.  Determining the best setting for the patient requires a through understanding of rehabilitation services, the essential aspects of care delivery and evaluation of pivotal evidence-based outcomes.  Rehabiltiation encompasses a process, practice, and philosophy of care and is not simply a care setting. In order to improve performance, coordination of care across the healthcare system is critical.  The purpose of this four hour educational program is to increase essential knowledge and skills required to optimize the effective care transitions and determination of the most appropriate care outcomes of stroke survivors and their families. Evidence-based transitions of care models and practices will be discussed along with opportunities to apply this knowledge to participants’ practice settings.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1. Describe key program elements to promote successful transition from acute care to the community setting of the stroke survivor.
  2. Identify opportunities to improve care transitions across the care continuum.
  3. Discuss the major factors affecting readmissions of stroke survivors.
  4. Review the evidence pertaining to reduction of fall risk in all care settings.
  5. Critique the study designs of transitional care trials conducted to date and discuss the applicability and utility of novel practice based designs to examine effectiveness and improve time to translation of appropriate strategies

Additional research interests are in outcomes of nursing care, osteoporosis management in men, and epidemiology of peripheral neuropathy and aging. Her program of research spans 25 years, and focuses predominately on falls prevention and risk reduction, supporting Veterans and their caregivers. She has been funded by the National Center for Patient Safety and Rehabilitation Research and Development to investigate effectiveness technologies to reduce fall and injury risk, determine the effectiveness of exercise interventions on gait and balance – conducting the first randomized controlled trial specific to fall reduction and exercise on a diagnostic cohort.
