GSC Home Study Courses has just released a new continuing education course that provides dentists, dental hygienists and dental assistants with information to help them better identify and manage the oral health needs of pediatric patients with complex medical conditions.
?Children with chronic medical, developmental, and psychosocial conditions experience significantly more oral health problems than children without these conditions,? according to Karen Hallisey, DMD, Dental Planner for GSC Home Study Courses. Providing dental professionals with the foundational knowledge to better care for this growing patient population is the impetus behind Dental Management for Pediatric Patients with Complex Needs, a new continuing education course from GSC Home Study Courses ? a leading Academy of General Dentistry approved continuing education program provider.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services? most recent 2009- 2010 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs, 15.1 percent of US children (11.2 million children ages 0 – 17) have special health care needs, and more than one in five US households with children have at least one child with a special health care need. This translates into almost nine million households nationally. Individuals with special health care needs experience more oral health problems and require a greater level of oral health management than their healthy counterparts. Children with special health care needs are especially vulnerable to the oral effects of systemic diseases.
?This GSC Home Study course is a great example of how the company provides healthcare professionals with the educational information they need to provide exceptional care to all patients, especially those with complex medical conditions,? said Christian Feuer, CEO of SC Publications, parent company of GSC Home Study Courses. ?Our courses allow busy professionals to keep abreast of the issues and challenges they face in their everyday practices.?

Salus Homecare, an established provider of home care, has launched a new line of home-based services, providing skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and medical social services. When these medical services are combined with Salus Homecare’s non-medical caregiving services, families will experience the convenience of having a ?one-source? approach for all their home-based needs.
?We realize the need for home care services can often emerge out of a crisis situation or as the culmination of a longer-term decision process,? explained Mark Mortensen, CEO of Salus. ?At that critical time, a family may not be able to make a true assessment of what they need ? a licensed nurse, a personal caregiver, or a combination of both. This is compounded by the fact that these needs change on a regular basis. Our intent is to simplify the process with our new program called ONE CALL? by Salus. With just one phone call to Salus, our clients now have access to a full range of home-based medical health care and non-medical caregiving services, allowing Salus to coordinate these services according to those changing needs.?
This approach provides a higher level of continuity of services, according to Mortensen. With Salus, those in need of home care benefit from the convenience of having one trusted source to manage all of their home care services. This helps to minimize the effect of what has historically been a disjointed care-delivery process in the home.
The levels of support now offered by Salus Home Health include two important offerings:
a) Doctor prescribed medical services such as skilled nursing, rehabilitation and medical social services;
b) Non-medical caregiving services, such as assistance with activities of daily living.
When these services are managed by one source, the recipient benefits in two ways. First, they have access to a breadth of services to address immediate needs. Second, they can trust those services to be modified as those needs evolve.
?We intend to develop this new division on the same philosophy with which we have built our overall business; that is, treating the needs of our clients and patients as if they were our own family members or friends,? explained Mortensen. ?With ONE CALL by Salus, we are offering a unique, one-source approach for both home healthcare and caregiving needs. This firmly addresses what has been a void in the industry ? the lack of coordination between skilled nursing (medical) and home caregiving (non-medical).?
Salus Home Health Services offers coverage in California, including Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura and San Diego counties. Combined services are also offered in Salt Lake City, Utah.
