Strategies for Excellence in Patient Care

PROGRAM DETAILS

One of the biggest obstacles of rehabilitation and education is triggering the client's performance. A solid knowledge base is the key to intervention of any type. We, as clinicians and educators, must be able to identify key factors that inhibit performance, as well as understand the trigger points of intervention. The Gestalt Theory has been well known for its perspective of "The Whole being more than the sum of its Parts." This idea is also well established by another theorist, Gary Kielhofner, who based his theory of Occupational Performance on similar issues. These theoretical views will be utilized to provide educators and health care workers with an extensive knowledge base of foundational concepts from the Occupational Performance Theory.

Current statistics indicate that compliance has become one of our nation's most expensive issues. Our nation has stood watching as we cruised to an all time high drop out rate for students. Likewise, our health care industry has suffered numerous setbacks because of lack of compliance with treatment. Some reports indicate pain and behavior as the two main contenders for lack of compliance across all settings. This program will facilitate a better understanding of the premise that interest, volition and habituation are at the root of many issues associated with compliance. These evidence-based interventions may be applied immediately upon completion of this course and the only equipment needed is adjustment of the "therapeutic use of self."

• Examine the neurobiological structures of the human sensory system and its relationship with pain
• Identify the theoretical framework for interest, volition and habituation
• Learn how to initiate treatment from a holistic approach to facilitate the highest level of compliance possibl
