Teaching Workshop (10/16a) [Integrative] Flashcards
Long Term Goals
Timeframe: the end of the episode of care, multiple weeks
Examination — when you figure out what the patient’s goals are
Prognosis — helping to determine how long it will take to reach goals
Short Term Goals
Time Frame: several sessions, 1-2 weeks
Diagnosis — part of determining what the patient can’t do that they used to do
Intervention — motivation by demonstrating progress in short term goals
When to Update Goals
Regularly, depending on the length of the episode of care
Whenever there is a change in the patient’s progress or medical status
Why Do We Write Goals?
To define/communicate the purpose of your plan of care
To facilitate the management of pt progression
To determine the intervention efficacy
Reimbursement and standards of accrediting bodies
Types of timed goals
Long Term Goals
Short Term Goals
Session Goals
SMART Goals
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Relevant
Time-bound
Criteria for Creating Useful and Effective Goals
Patient Centered — customized to the unique needs of the individuals
Objectives — unbiased and based in fact, based on data you collect from initial exam
Measurable — quantifiable
Functional — relating to a particular use/purpose
Time Dependent — held accountable to a determined interval
ABCDs of Goal Writing

Components of Well Written Goals
Identification of the pt who is receiving therapy and carrying out the program (usually pt, sometimes also family/caregiver)
Description of the movement/activity the pt will be able to perform
Connection of the movement/activity to a specific function
Specific conditions in which the movement/activity will be performed, such as WB status or use of ADs
Factors for measuring performance, such as assistance level or with pain levels
Timeframe for achieving the goal
Goal Writing for Patient/Caregiver Education
Determine what you want/need to teach
Get to know barriers and factors influencing patient learning
Consider the method/mode
Allow practice, use, application
Assess your teaching
What to Teach — Goals/Objectives
Goals — final outcome, multidimensional
Session Goals/Objectives — session outcome, unidimensional
Goals are like cake, session goals are like ingredients
What to Teach — 3 Learning Domains

- Comprehension — summarize, discuss
- Application — demonstrate, distinguish
- Analysis — order, classify
- Synthesis — create, design
