The Clinical Detective: Finding Clues that Help Patients Heal is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Peek through the looking glass of a “clinical detective” as she identifies clues in the home to help make a thorough OASIS assessment. You already know that it doesn’t take a puddle to identify urinary incontinence. But without a savvy set of assessment skills, you may be overlooking some very important items that hurt the accuracy of assessments. Get them by being the Watson to our clinical Sherlock Holmes. Be part of this interactive assessment using an actual “patient” to make an assessment. Learn the best way of encouraging patients to self-manage their conditions. And get set for both enlightenment and entertainment. You can expect some “ah-ha” moments that will immediately make your assessments better.
