When I Need You Most: Surgeon-therapist challenges when patients need more and a system gives less.
Times are changing. Our system is strained and resources are being rationed. Surgeons and therapists are modifying priorities. However there needs to be a “line in the sand”: those situations where intensive care is necessary to preserve essential function. This lecture identifies those cases where providers of hand care have to rally to ensure uncompromising care.
Goals:
Better understand those diagnoses which are most challenging when it comes to pre- and post-operative rehabilitation.
Three Learning Objectives:
- Financial constraints that face patients, physicians and therapists
- Diagnoses most likely to require intensive therapy
- Strategies to mitigate limitations on therapy due to financial constraints
