Case Review – May 2025

The panel will share their experiences, challenges and wins in working as a team to care for a person with long term medical needs. The client was in a near fatal car accident in 1985. She is covered under Workers Compensation for her medical care and is being cared for in a group home in Miami Fl. The family is very involved, as is the treatment team led by the Nurse Practitioner. The panel will share the challenges and the joys of working to ensure the client’s ongoing health, wellbeing, transfers from one facility to another and keeping treatment teams involved and cohesive.

  2. You will recognize communication pitfalls and the importance of good, cohesive communication among the care team
  3. Identify the ways health care advocates have been instrumental in maintaining the clients care and wellbeing
