    Title: Time for a heart to heart: An occupational therapy lifestyle management program designed for individuals living with heart failure in the acute care setting

    Speaker: Casey Hines, OT

    Learning Objectives: 

    1. Identify the key components of an occupational therapy lifestyle management program tailored for individuals with heart failure in the acute care setting.
    2. Demonstrate an understanding of evidence-based strategies for addressing occupational performance challenges related to heart failure.
    3. Develop skills to implement client-centered interventions that promote adherence to heart-healthy routines and improve quality of life for patients with heart failure.

    Bio/Focus:

With five years of professional experience, Casey currently works at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, providing care to diverse patient populations. Passionate about advancing her expertise, Casey is pursuing a Post-Professional Doctorate in Occupational Therapy (PP-OTD) at MGH Institute of Health Professions where her doctoral project focuses on occupational therapy evaluation and treatment for the congestive heart failure (CHF) population.
