Patient-Centered Strategies to Managing Geriatric Chronic Pain in Home Health
Tracking # 20-661178
Course overview
The current opioid epidemic in the United States has renewed focus on the importance of non-pharmacologic approaches to management of chronic pain. PTs and PTAs in home health find the treatment of elderly with chronic pain challenging because of the atypical presentation of pain due to comorbidities and other factors unique to the practice setting. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT and PTA.
