Getting Started with Telehealth
Getting Started with Telehealth
Telehealth is classic physical therapy or occupational therapy administered virtually through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform, which is usually accessed through a device such as a smartphone or computer. Telehealth uniquely affords healthcare practitioners the ability to approach patients from a true biopsychosocial approach with a systematic consideration of the biological, psychological, and social factors. When providing telehealth services, therapists must also consider billing, payer contract agreements, state and federal practice guidelines, scope of practice, and HIPAA / personal health information (PHI). This course expounds on each of these considerations and teaches therapists how to set up and complete telehealth sessions for their practice, including how to evaluate patients remotely as well as how to monitor and treat patients remotely.
Getting Started with Wound Care Basics
Getting Started with Wound Care Basics
Graduates of several healthcare professions have requirements within their practice act to evaluate and treat wounds. Yet, studies have shown that new health professionals are uncomfortable with wound care basics such as how to examine and evaluate wounds or set a plan of care in place that is adherent to established standards. Getting Started with Wound Care Basics will educate the learner on how to complete appropriate and detailed wound assessments, identify the necessary wound debridement methods, and identify basic wound dressings that are most widely available in healthcare settings.

Pain Science Education for Manual Therapists
Pain Science Education for Manual Therapists
Should pain science education be a hands-off approach? Some believe because there is limited research supporting the use of manual therapy, there is no need for hands-on treatment. However, manual therapy is a great pain management technique, especially if applied with a bio- psycho-social approach. This course explains how manual therapy and pain science education are not mutually exclusive, but rather, are a great complement to each other. Three different classifications of pain are discussed as well as how manual therapy can be incorporated to treat these types of patient presentations. Understanding what type of pain is most dominant for your patient will direct your treatment plan.

Treatment Strategies for Complex Back and Neck Pain
Treatment Strategies for Complex Back and Neck Pain
Clinical outcomes for patients with chronic back and neck pain has historically been poor. Why? Patients with chronic back or neck pain need more than hands-on treatment and exercises. Pain is complex and a systematic approach is necessary to evaluate the type of pain most dominant in a patient’s clinical presentation. The subjective interview should review potential red and yellow flags. The objective evaluation should prioritize what areas need to be addressed first. Patients need and want knowledge; thus, patient education is paramount. This course expounds on pain assessment, pain neuroscience education, as well as pain treatment and approach.

Wound Care Documentation Across Multidisciplinary Teams
Wound Care Documentation Across Multidisciplinary Teams
About the Course
Providing excellent wound care services depends on documentation that clearly illustrates assessment and medical necessity, skilled interventions performed, and outcomes achieved. Complete and thorough wound care documentation is the critical foundation for successful reimbursement of services. If this is achieved, the client, the clinician, and the regulatory agency all benefit. When it comes to regulatory audits and denials of reimbursement, being proactive is the key. This video course addresses pertinent topics such as components of resident-centered collaboration between therapy and nursing in wound care, common errors, key elements in wound care documentation to prevent denials, and principles of effective documentation for nursing and therapy to support skilled wound care services.
