In-Person Event

OVERVIEW
Developmental Care Conference: Touch a Life, Impact a Lifetime: Neuroprotection in the NICU is organized by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) and will be held on Dec 5, 2017 at Children's Healthcare Of Atlanta Office Park, Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is Physical and occupational therapists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 7.0 Contact Hours.
Course Description:
Providing care for an infant in the NICU requires a multi-disciplinary approach and often, the lines of communication can be blurred, impacting the treatment of the infant. This collaborative conference will serve to further unite the different disciplines (medical, social work, rehab, nursing, case managers, etc) working with these infants and create a more cohesive environment for treatment of the infant in the NICU. This activity strives to further educate and empower the above professionals working in the NICU on several key subjects that impact overall neurodevelopment: impact of the NICU on the infant and family, nurturing that infant/family relationship through the stress of a NICU stay, extremely preterm infant outcomes, safe sleep practices, and handling/positioning of the fragile infant.
Course Objectives:
At the conclusion of the conference, the participant will be better able to:
• Describe the impact of toxic stress on the infant, family and clinician
• List 3 NICU experiences that elicit toxic stress for the infant, the family, and the clinician
• Identify 3 evidence-based, trauma-informed best practices to mitigate toxic stress for the infant, family and clinician
• Name two common etiologies of hearing loss in the newborn period
• Explain the 1-3-6 goals of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention programs
• List at least three ways to reduce infants' exposure to sound overstimulation in the NICU setting
• Identify the American Academy of Pediatrics' suggested sound level limit for infants in the inpatient setting and describe a practical example of that level
• Define the core concepts of palliative care
• Identify opportunities for primary and secondary palliative care in NICU practice
• Recognize the power of narrative medicine and family perspective
• List 3 missed nursing cares reported in neonatal nursing
• Describe 2 consequences associated with missed nursing care in the NICU
• Identify at least one contributing factor to missed nursing care in the NICU
• Describe the roles of rehabilitation staff in the NICU
• Discuss elements involved in planning for discharge and how to empower the caregiver
• Determine key points in the evaluation in the NICU and at follow-up, including reflex assessment, and normal and abnormal general movements from birth(preterm) to 20 weeks postterm, including the Prechtl Assessment of Spontaneous General Movements of the Infant
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
