1.Specialized and multi-disciplinary care:
Enhancing health outcomes for neurological patients requires a comprehensive approach within a specialized care unit, where a multidisciplinary team works collaboratively.
2.Thorough Evaluation:
A thorough clinical evaluation and documentation of deficits are crucial for understanding each patient's unique needs.
3.Early Mobilization:
Early mobilization is implemented as soon as the patient is medically stable, promoting recovery and functionality.
4. Proper management of health conditions and prevention of complications:
Managing various health functions, including nutrition, sleep, bladder and bowel management, and co-morbid conditions, is essential to prevent complications such as deep vein thrombosis, aspiration pneumonia, pressure ulcers, infections, and falls.
5.Early rehab evaluation, monitoring of progress and continuum of care:
An early consultation with a physiatrist ensures a detailed assessment of rehabilitation needs. Patient progress is continuously evaluated using standardized measures, facilitating ongoing care and follow-up to achieve optimal recovery outcomes. Through these targeted interventions, we strive to improve the overall quality of life for neurological patients.
