Shared Decision-Making for Improved Therapy Outcomes

Course overview

In today's healthcare climate, with declining reimbursement structures and increasing demand for improved outcomes, therapists are challenged to do more with less. Shared decision-making is a collaborative communication strategy that aligns with patient-centered care, yet many therapists don't know about it or leverage it fully. This course, designed for physical and occupational therapists as well as speech language pathologists and athletic trainers, will highlight how research supports this communication model across multiple disciplines and rehab settings. In addition, this course will provide instructions and case study examples on how a few small changes to the way you approach patient care at any visit can make a big impact for the patient, for the therapist, and for the industry.
