1. Background Information: Anatomy and Physiology and Signs and Symptoms
Early identification of potential problems in high-risk residents can prevent complications and readmissions. This chapter will focus on the normal aging process of the cardiovascular system, along with defining anatomy and physiology of an AMI. Typical and atypical signs and symptoms and risk factors of AMI will be identified.
2. Assessment and Treatment
Assessment and identification of high-risk residents and evidence-based treatment guidelines to reduce complications for high-risk residents post AMI will be discussed in this chapter.
3. Lifestyle Considerations
Lifestyle modifications have been strongly linked to reduction in recurrent AMI and further progression of cardiovascular disease. This chapter will focus on lifestyle considerations for the SNF resident post AMI.
4. Improvement of Care Transitions, Discharge Plans, and Communication
Improved communication, follow-up and medication reconciliation are needed to provide safe transitions between levels of care. This chapter will discuss strategies to improve care transitions and adherence to the resident’s discharge plan, along with some general reasons why residents may be readmitted.
5. Case Study
In this case study, the learner will be able to synthesize what was learned in the prior chapters in this course. Interactive technology will allow the learner to use their new knowledge and skills to meet the learning objectives by assessing and developing a plan to prevent readmission of a high-risk resident with AMI.
