Well Rounded Care for Parkinson’s Patients During Outpatient Procedures

While outpatient procedures are thought to be much less complex than procedures that require an overnight stay in an inpatient facility, for people with Parkinson’s there are still several challenges that must be addressed.

This course highlights how to plan for outpatient procedures, the role that interprofessional care plays and the necessary safety procedures to avoid unnecessary complications and improve outcomes.
