LAI405 - Managing Therapy Needs

This webinar will review the background and scope of respiratory illness especially as it relates to older adult populations.

Presented on January 14, 2021

Respiratory disease is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States.  With the emergence of COVID-19, therapists are treating even greater numbers of clients with compromised lung function.  As a result, rehabilitation professionals must be prepared to provide effective rehabilitation for their clients with respiratory deficits.  This webinar will review the background and scope of respiratory illness especially as it relates to older adult populations.  It will also introduce strategies for assessing and implementing treatment interventions designed for clients with compromised lung function across rehab settings.  Finally, it will review reimbursement and documentation principles to ensure efficacy in this area by healthcare providers.

Objectives

• Outline how to best assess patients with compromised lung function.
• Identify Physical Therapy (PT), Occupational Therapy (OT), Speech Language Pathology (SLP) interventions for clients with compromised respiratory function.
• Describe components of appropriate client and caregiver education for managing respiratory disease.
• Explain associated reimbursement and documentation principles.
