DESCRIPTION
You have arrived! Everything is in place for a great day of work providing acupuncture therapy in an inpatient setting. What does that day look like? What kinds of patients will you see, what conditions will you treat? Acupuncture therapy is making an impact: filling gaps in care, changing patient satisfaction scores, reducing need for analgesic medication and facilitating recovery as we have seen in the five previous modules. How are the Departments different in terms of acupuncture care? While the inpatient population is more acute, and more severely ill than one sees an outpatient setting, the impact of treatment is also greater. Here is the secret: the patient presentations may be more complicated, but the acupuncture therapies you already know work very well. We discuss treating in acute care, and the skill of prioritizing treatment based on urgency or severity of symptoms that are part of complex comorbid presentations. Got your security badge, your clean lab coat, your lunch, your toolkit? Let’s head over the OB Grand rounds for coffee and a bagel and then to patient clinical rounds on orthopedic surgery.
