1 Preventing Medical Errors for Healthcare Professionals (Mandatory) [2 contact hours] The purpose of this course is to provide licensed practitioners with information concerning the current state of medical errors, the impact of medical errors on the safety of patients, and the importance of establishing and working in a culture of safety. Contributing causes and types of medical errors are reviewed. Strategies to reduce or prevent medical errors, and improve patient outcomes, are presented. Methods to identify, analyze, and report medical errors are reviewed, populations at risk for medical errors are identified, and patient safety initiatives including education for the public and healthcare professionals are explored. 15 Evidence-Based Balance Rehabilitation and Fall Prevention [6 contact hours] This course is designed to guide professionals through the process of decreasing fall risk through determining the most effective evidence-based treatment plans for patients suffering from balance impairments. The requirements of balance and the sensory modalities of balance are discussed to provide the background for performing a comprehensive assessment. Then the tools to provide a thorough assessment of therapy interventions are explored with specific case studies to assist in applying the knowledge learned through this course. The information provided in this course offers an opportunity for practical application in various healthcare settings. 25 Move Better, Feel Better: A Movement-Based Approach to Soft Tissue Mobilization for the Upper Body [4 contact hours] This course provides an evidence-based approach, combining IASTM, Cupping and Kinesiology Taping by focusing on how we can stimulate the Central Nervous System (CNS) to reduce pain and enhance mobility. This comprehensive treatment philosophy is movement-focused instead of treating the individual muscle, or the fascia, or the joints. The goal is to make overall movement of the affected body part more efficient to allow the body to heal and to become more resilient: “Move Better, Feel Better.”
