There are many differences between the traditional acute care hospital setting and the home environment for the delivery of healthcare services, particularly the environment and ensuring patient safety. Safety, accessibility, and caregiver issues are critical considerations. Research suggests that as many as one-third to one-half of all home accidents can be prevented through home modification and repair.
The home safety assessment is one of the first steps to be performed in the patient’s home prior to beginning any therapeutics. This course is designed for speech-language pathologists who are called upon to assess home safety as well as identifying safety deficiencies. Detailed room-by-room checklists are included as well as suggested inexpensive improvements.
This program is offered for 0.1 ASHA CEUs (Introductory-Level, Related Area)
