Inside This Issue
Spirituality in Healthcare: A Primer for Case Managers CE1
By Elaine Bruner, MSN, RN, CMGT-BC
Assessing spirituality is more than "checking the religious preference" box on an intake or admission assessment.
Case managers must take time to start the spiritual assessment and conversation about what matters to the person with open-ended questions.
Music Therapy and Health, Part 1 CE
By Dawn A. Iwamasa, PhD, CCLS, MT-BC; and Flor del Cielo Hernandez, PhD, MT-BC
The idea that music influences one's nervous system through emotions and mental states was first referenced in literature dating back to 1789. Through various music therapy assessments, approaches, and techniques, music therapists design interventions to address a wide range of goals, including pain management, emotional regulation, anxiety reduction, illness management, and improved motor skills.
Wheelchair Seating Options: A Guide for Case Managers CE
By John V. Rider, PhD, MS, OTR/L, MSCS, ATP
Selecting appropriate wheelchair seating options for clients is a critical task that directly impacts the comfort, mobility, and overall well-being of individuals with mobility impairments. As a case manager, understanding the various seating systems available is essential for making informed recommendations tailored to each client's unique needs.
