According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term disability and the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Patients who have experienced a stroke often need extensive rehabilitation and assistance with their activities of daily living (ADLs). This course discusses the prevalence of stroke, recognizing acute signs and symptoms for early intervention, and the management of the stroke patient.

This course will discuss the typology of patient complexity, discuss the prevalence and influencing factors of clinically complex patients, and review evidence-based guidelines in determining patient complexity and caring for the complex patient. Learners will be oriented to the typology of patient complexity, common cluster comorbidities, factors leading to an increase in patient complexity, and evidence-based guidelines for the identification and care of the complex patient. The course also provides insights into the population health impact of complex patients.

This course provides an introductory overview of ophthalmology by explaining the basic anatomy and function of the eye and how vision occurs. Learners will review the major structures of the eye—including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, optic nerve, eyelids, and lacrimal system—and examine how these structures work together to focus light and transmit visual information to the brain. The course also introduces different types of vision, such as central vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and color vision, while addressing common misconceptions related to eye health. By understanding how the eye functions and how visual images are processed, healthcare professionals can strengthen their foundational knowledge of eye health and better recognize vision-related concerns in patient care settings.

Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death attributable to cardiovascular disease in the United States. By 2035, more than 130 million adults in the U.S. population are projected to have some form of cardiovascular disease. Throughout this course, our discussion will be focused on patients with stable ischemic heart disease.

Urinary tract infections are the most common adult bacterial infection in the world. UTIs are responsible for an estimated 7 million office visits, 1 million emergency room visits, and 100,000 hospitalizations each year. In this course, we will review chronic urinary tract infections and associated signs and symptoms. We will also discuss evidence-based recommendations for the management of recurrent UTIs, as well as strategies to improve patient outcomes through coordinated care and patient engagement.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is offering a web-based training that provides an overview of the assessment and coding of the Drug Regimen Review (DRR) standardized patient assessment data elements (SPADEs) found in the Medications Section of the guidance manual. A brief discussion of the cross-setting quality measure (QM) “Drug Regimen Review Conducted with Follow-Up for Identified Issues” will also be included. This course is intended for providers in Home Health Agencies (HHAs), Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (IRFs), Long-Term Care Hospitals (LTCHs), and Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs).
This course contains a description of the intent and rationale, assessment considerations, and coding principles for the Drug Regimen Review (DRR) items. A brief overview of the cross-setting Drug Regimen Review QM, “Drug Regimen Review Conducted with Follow-Up for Identified Issues,” will be provided. Resources available to assist post-acute care (PAC) providers in understanding and training others in the application of related coding guidance will be reviewed. Throughout the course, participants will engage in interactive exercises to test knowledge and application of coding principles.

This course is designed to provide healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of key topics related to workplace safety and regulatory compliance. It covers essential areas such as general safety practices, disease transmission prevention, hazardous materials handling, bloodborne pathogens, medical waste management, and infection control. By completing this course, healthcare professionals will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to create a safe and compliant work environment, protect themselves and others from potential hazards, and adhere to regulatory standards set by organizations like OSHA.

This video contains four lectures that explain how to use the Emergency Severity Index, a five-level emergency department triage algorithm that provides clinically relevant stratification of patients into five groups from 1 (most urgent) to 5 (least urgent) on the basis of acuity and resource needs.
