CME Webcast Teaches on The Dizzy Patient

OSU Wexner Medical Center logo CME Webcast Teaches on The Dizzy Patient. On this webcast, we’ll be discussing the approach to a dizzy patient. For this, we’ve invited two vestibular experts. Dr. Desi Schoo is an otolaryngologist and physician-scientist at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center specializing in vestibular dysfunction and cranial base surgeries. He will lead us through a review of the vestibular system and approach to a patient with complaints of dizziness including advanced diagnostic testing and management. Matthew Bjelac is a board certified Neurologic physical therapist at Ohio State and vestibular team lead. Matt will discuss physical exam and screening tests as well as vestibular rehabilitation.

What you’ll learn in this webcast

As a result of this educational activity, webcast participants will be able to:

  • Gain familiarity with collecting a thorough history for dizzy patients and recognize when to refer to a specialist
  • Review common bedside and laboratory-based tests of vestibular function
  • Perform a bedside exam to identify common mechanisms of dizziness and imbalance.
  • Demonstrate the clinical reasoning to identify and treat benign positional paroxysmal vertigo (BPPV) to model CPG action statements and recommended best practice patterns for treating positional vertigo.

You’ll also learn about the following:

  • Dizziness vs Vertigo vs Imbalance
  • Vestibular Rehabilitation
  • Nystagmus

CME Webcast Discusses Remote Patient Monitoring

OSU Wexner Medical Center logo CME Webcast Discusses Remote Patient Monitoring. In 2020, telehealth saw a major uptick and broad adoption with the spread of COVID-19 pandemic and global lockdown. Now, the COVID-19 national emergency is ending but telehealth has remained and continued to expand. With that is an expansion of Remote Patient Monitoring or Remote Physiologic Monitoring (RPM) Modern technology is seeing newer, better sensors that are cheaper to manufacture making remote monitoring of patients using medical devices more accessible. But how can we leverage this technology to best care for our patients?

To answer that question, We’ve invited two of Ohio State University’s Primary Care Innovation experts. We’re pleased to introduce Associate Professor of Internal Medicine Dr Jodi Grandominico. Jodi serves as the Associate Director of Clinical Operations in the Division of General Internal Medicine and leads many clinical innovation programs for the division. I also have the pleasure of welcoming Associate Professor and Doctor of Pharmacy Kelli Barnes. Kelli is the lead pharmacist for General Internal Medicine and created & leads the Remote Monitoring program along with many other pharmacy programs in primary care.

What you’ll learn in this webcast

As a result of this educational activity, webcast participants will be able to:

  • Understand clinical, financial, and patient satisfaction considerations for an RPM implementation strategy in your clinical practice
  • Review the current literature depicting the benefits of remote physiologic monitoring and potential use cases in healthcare
  • Describe important considerations for remote physiologic monitoring implementation in diverse healthcare settings.

You’ll also learn about the following:

  • Types of Conditions
  • Healthcare Team Integration
  • Devices
  • Duration
  • Cost

Learn About The Management of the COVID-19 Patient with Respiratory Failure

OSUWexnerbloglogo2014 Learn About The Management of the COVID-19 Patient with Respiratory Failure in our latest CME webcast. Today, we’re bringing you a special edition of OSU MedNet in order to update you about the COVID-19 outbreak. Last month, we discussed the status of the disease as of early February. At that time, spread of the virus to the United States was mostly a theoretic possibility. Today, it is a public health and economic reality. As our hospitals see more COVID-19 patients, we will need to be prepared to take care of those with the most severe manifestation of the disease, namely respiratory failure. And many physicians who are not as experienced with respiratory failure and ventilators may be called on to help take care of these patients. So today on MedNet, we’re going to show you how to manage the COVID-19 patient who gets admitted to the intensive care unit.
