Hemispheres 3.0 - Level III - Stroke Assessments

Course overview

Level III of Hemispheres 3.0 instructs on stroke screening tools, neurologic assessments, and severity and impairment scales used in stroke care. From urgent prehospital and emergency care through inpatient and rehabilitation, these tools aid in stroke triage, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning. Relevant clinical grading scales and dysphagia screening and evaluations facilitate timely best-practice interventions across the continuum. Proper use of these assessment resources also allows for sharing of standardized information regarding the patient's status between members of the multidisciplinary stroke team.
