Date of Course: May 4, 2019
Course Location: Providence Hospital – Anchorage, AK
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course will serve to present and discuss disablement models and the benefits of using these models as a framework to improve clinical outcomes in Physical Therapy practice. The International Classification of Function (ICF) model was created to provide a common language among health care professionals, to facilitate the delivery of patient-centered care and to justify interventions based on a comprehensive assessment of illness on an individual’s health-related quality of life. Clinical outcome assessments will be discussed on all levels of the ICF model across a spectrum of dimensions including personal and environmental factors that may impact patient compliance. Specifically, outcome assessments commonly used in the out-patient orthopedic environment and outcome assessments for patient with stroke across multiple clinical environments will be discussed. Case studies will be utilized to further enhance participant understanding.
