Justifying the K0005 Manual Wheelchair; What’s The Big Deal?

Course Description:

Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital is pleased to offer Casey Dietz’s presentation “Justifying the K0005 Manual Wheelchair; What’s The Big Deal? on demand virtually through the Mary Free Bed Education Academy.

  

Objectives:

By the conclusion of the lecture participants will:

1. Compare various manual wheelchair options with Medicare guidelines

2. Define K0001-K0005

3. Describe qualifications needed for more than a standard wheelchair

4. Discuss considerations for power versus manual wheelchair

 

Applicable to Social Work Practice:

An ultra-light weight wheelchair decreases the strain on shoulders, is easier to maneuver, and decreases the stress on caregivers loading the chair. By changing the center of gravity, the axle is moved back making the wheelchair more stable following an amputation. Throughout this presentation, healthcare providers will obtain a greater level of awareness of a K0005 manual wheelchair.

Crisis Leadership

Course Description:

Most people used to think that "crisis leadership" is what "they" do - the CEOs, agency heads, etc. This pandemic has taught us that we all can play an important role in helping ourselves and others through crises. This webinar focuses on practical steps you can take to prepare for and deal with crises when they occur. We'll look at examples of positive and poor crisis leadership, examine the critical roles that relationships, and communications play during crises, and discuss the important steps to take during and after crises. We'll include specific ways to support marginalized communities that often suffer the most from crises.
