PROGRESSION OF CARE

Catalog description

Patient cases across multiple settings drive student learning regarding providing PT services across all healthcare settings, including the ICU, acute care, sub -acute and rehabilitation hospitals, skilled nursing and assisted living facilities, and home care as well as the use of telehealth. Students use clinical reasoning to adapt patient care skills to different settings and with patients across the lifespan and with varying degrees of mobility and independence. This course includes simulation experiences that integrate skill knowledge with interprofessional collaboration and practice, as well as progression in documentation skills using electronic medical records. Students apply interventions from Patient Management courses in context to various settings and with a variety of teams. Integrated Clinical Experiences or Immersion Experiences are used to incorporate theory with practice.
