Description:

Course Overview

Impaired function and mobility can increase a person’s risk for skin breakdown. Conversely, improved function and mobility may improve overall quality of life for clients who are at risk for developing wounds. Research demonstrates that clients prefer continued engagement in meaningful and purposeful activities. This course explores the importance of functional interventions and client advocacy at all levels of impairment to prevent skin breakdown for those who are at risk. This approach supports the client at the highest level of function; recognizes that a client’s functional ability may decline and clinical interventions may be needed to reduce the decline; and assures that all team members assist in helping the client maintain the highest level of function. This course reviews the foundations of client advocacy and how it applies to individuals at risk for skin breakdown. It also introduces strategies for implementing client-centered treatment interventions across various rehab settings. Learners will review common wound management interventions and then apply components of advocacy to each client population using case examples. The strategies addressed in this webinar will help clinicians focus on continued quality improvement plans.
