SLP-RehabEd-ENT/Audiology/Vestibular PT Collaboration in Care for Vestibular Patients

Thursday, August 3, 2023, 4:00 PM - Thursday, December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM

Due to the continued complexity of dizziness/Vestibular patients received within OhioHealth at various provider levels (acute, home health, outpatient) a need has been identified to better understand who should be involved in the care of these patients, what is their role, and when should providers refer within the interdisciplinary team to impact patient care. This 1.5-hour CEU event will focus on the interdisciplinary roles of ENT, Audiology, and Vestibular therapy at the acute, sub-acute, and chronic levels and how this team collaborates to maximize patient positive outcomes. It will include didactic review for each discipline of: their training and roles, including at each level of care, identification of assessments completed by each, education regarding when to refer within the team or outside of the team (to neurology, etc.). This forum promotes our highly trained vestibular team within OhioHealth and the community and will facilitate continued and increased interdisciplinary communication between providers.
