    OASIS E1-Functional Scores, Hospitalization Risk, and Cognition

    Accurate OASIS coding is essential for all home health clinicians due to the impact that coding has on reimbursement. With the CMS plan to move to a universal outcome measure for all post-acute settings, OASIS will become an important tool beyond home health. Payment through PDGM is driven not only by improvement of quality indicators but through a complicated calculation of risk adjustment driven by baseline functional scores, acute cognitive changes, and hospitalization risk. This course will provide easy to use methods that will improve a clinician’s ability to provide accurate coding to these sections of OASIS E1.   To view accreditation information and access completion requirements to receive a certificate for completing this course, please click here.   The content of this Summit podcast is provided only for educational and training purposes for licensed physical therapists and occupational therapists.

    Pelvic Floor Essentials

    Pelvic floor dysfunction is a common yet often overlooked issue that impacts many patients’ daily lives, contributing to pain, incontinence, and functional limitations. However, many general clinicians, PTs, and OTs feel underprepared to assess and treat these concerns confidently.   This course provides a clear, practical guide to help clinicians integrate pelvic floor therapy into their existing practice. Attendees will gain evidence-based strategies and assessment tools they can apply immediately to identify pelvic floor dysfunction and implement effective interventions. By the end of the course, clinicians will feel empowered to expand their scope, improve patient outcomes, and address pelvic health with confidence.   To view accreditation information and access completion requirements to receive a certificate for completing this course, please click here.   The content of this Summit podcast is provided only for educational and training purposes for licensed physical therapists and occupational therapists.

    Core Strengthening in Pediatrics

    “It all starts with the core” is a common phrase used amongst physical and occupational therapists in all settings. All developmental movement starts with the core beginning with head control and moving up the developmental spectrum to having strong lateral hips to perform high level plyometrics and everything in between. A strong knowledge of the core as a foundation for movement, stability, and posture will assist the clinician in designing effective exercise programs and treatment interventions. Pediatric clinicians see patients with a wide array of ages, impairments and motor abilities, and patients in all gross motor function classification system (GMFCS) levels can benefit from core activation to assist at the impairment, functional mobility, and activity levels. Often the knowledge of these exercises is gleaned only through experience, which makes it hard to design exercise programs without frequent exposure to different populations. Once the basic knowledge of the core anatomy, muscle action, and muscle function is obtained the clinician is charged with creating exercises and home programs that allow activation of needed muscle groups and provide carryover to function. This course will provide insight into core exercises useful across the age and motor ability span and rationale for specific diagnosis.   To view accreditation information and access completion requirements to receive a certificate for completing this course, please click here.   The content of this Summit podcast is provided only for educational and training purposes for licensed physical therapists and occupational therapists.
