    • Pain Management and Impact of Chronic Opioid Use

      STARTS: Anytime
      LOCATION: Online
      COST: $105.00
      CE CREDITS: 3 Hours

      With the rise of opioid use and overdose related deaths, research for alternative treatment approaches to pain management is expanding. Understanding how pain affects the “whole” person’s (physical, emotional, social, environmental) functioning provides the foundation for developing a comprehensive pain relief treatment program. Through exploring the history of pain management, types of pain, and how pain affects a person’s functioning, health care professionals completing this course will be better prepared to complete thorough assessments and provide safe and effective pain management treatment interventions.

    • Pregnancy

      STARTS: Anytime
      LOCATION: Online
      COST: $140.00
      CE CREDITS: 4 Hours

      This course will examine what the general standards are for prenatal care in the “normal” population and how care managers can directly affect outcomes in this population, as part of the health care team. Because in the last 5 years many of the previously routine evaluations and exam components have been challenged, and standards have experienced increased scrutiny, modifications in standards based on current evidence have transpired. This course will provide that new information, as well as care management challenges dependent on an insurance company’s standards, variations among practitioners, and more.

    • Pediatric – Well Child

      STARTS: Anytime
      LOCATION: Online
      COST: $105.00
      CE CREDITS: 3 Hours

      This comprehensive module covers CDC statistics on morbidity and mortality in age ranges from newborn to young adult, wellness checkpoints and immunizations for all age groups, and barriers to healthcare access for children. The module includes exploration of special populations in pediatrics: immigrant, migrant, homeless, foster children, and children with life-limiting illness.

      It takes the perspective of pediatrics as addressed by medical specialties and subspecialties, from the view of the case manager, then illuminates the primary functions of the case manager in pediatrics in service and resource provision for patient and family, symptom management and resources over time in a child’s course at the end of life, and concludes with self-care for the case manager.

    • Pediatrics – Chronically Ill Child

      STARTS: Anytime
      LOCATION: Online
      COST: $140.00
      CE CREDITS: 4 Hours

      The role of the care manager relative to the pediatric patient population is complex and varied. Not only is the care manager dealing with the patient; care managers are also obligated to interact with the family and others with authority on behalf of the patient, the school system, and community resources.
      As the pediatric population transitions between developmental stages, a seasoned care manager anticipates many of these transitions based on their knowledge of general pediatrics as well as various disease processes. The goal of this course is to expose the care manager to a variety of these pediatric population needs, and an overview of the kinds of issues patients, families, and insurance companies face.

      STARTS: Anytime
      LOCATION: Online
      COST: $87.50
      CE CREDITS: 2.5 Hours

      This module will inform and provide Care Managers an overview about LGBTQ+ health care incongruities, as well as an LGBTQ+ Affirmative approach for working with patients in order to develop self- esteem, nurture empowerment, establish self- efficacy, and social consciousness while combating the effects of homophobia, transphobia, heterosexism, cissexism and toxic shame.

      LGBQ+ and Transgender terminology, definitions, and concepts will be defined, and information to increase sensitivity and competency through knowledge of the population’s needs, such as identification as an Ally, and do’s and don’ts will be shared.
