Fall Risk and Functional Impairments: Using Standardized Tests to Guide Treatment – Rachel Blackwood | Instant Download !

Therapists and other healthcare practitioners have an increasingly complex role in discharge planning from acute care as hospital stays become shorter and 30 day readmission rates are more closely scrutinized. It is imperative that acute care therapists not only identify but also be able to quantify functional impairments and fall risk. Standardized testing in hospitals is complicated by the frailty of the patient population, management of multiple lines and medical issues, as well as time constraints.

This course is designed to help healthcare practitioners by familiarizing them with the variety of tests to choose from, and to assist them in making sense of test outcomes. You will learn and practice tests that can be used on patients with high levels of mobility, as well as those tests that are appropriate for the ICU. During this lab-intensive course, you will be introduced to an array of objective measures that can be used to enhance assessments and documentation, to guide treatment, and to aid in discharge planning.


  1. Examine barriers with using standardized tests and how to avoid them
  2. Demonstrate evidence based tests that are applicable in the acute care setting
  3. Compose appropriate documentation with quantifiable, objective measures
  4. Determine how standardized tests can be used in the ICU and with other medically complex patients
  5. Discover how using standardized testing can guide discharge planning and reduce the risk of 30 day readmissions
