• Pain Management and Impact of Chronic Opioid Use

  STARTS: Anytime

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.

  LOCATION: Online

• 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.
