Jason R. Falvey

PT, DPT, GCS, PhD

Jason Falvey is a postdoctoral fellow at Yale University. His research training focuses on disability and recovery for older adults after acute hospitalization and how physical function contributes to hospital readmission risk. He received his PhD in rehabilitation science from the University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Campus, in 2018. He previously received a dual BS and DPT from Husson University in Bangor, Maine.

Jason is particularly interested in how rehabilitation utilization after an acute hospitalization impacts trajectories of functional recovery, risk for readmission, and downstream health care utilization. He has also worked with long-term care providers to evaluate optimal measurement of physical function, and relationships between function and hospital utilization. Prior to his matriculation in the PhD program, Jason obtained his board certification in geriatric physical therapy in 2013 and worked as a home health therapist and the rehabilitation director of a home health agency in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Jason maintains an active social media presence on Twitter (@JRayFalvey) and is a frequent podcast guest for topics related to geriatrics and health care policy.

The Role of the Geriatric Specialist in Care Transitions

Presented by Jason R. Falvey, PT, DPT, GCS, PhD

The Role of the Geriatric Specialist in Care Transitions

Subscribe now, and access clinical education and patient education—anytime, anywhere—with video instruction from recognized industry experts.
Video Runtime: 74 Minutes, Learning Assessments: 18 Minutes

Rehabilitation professionals have an important role in helping older adults transition from hospitals to the community. This course will evaluate contemporary evidence linking impairments in physical function with hospital readmissions and provide actionable strategies rehabilitation professionals can employ to address these factors within medically vulnerable older adult populations. This course will also evaluate how social and environmental contextual factors influence rehabilitation outcomes for older adults and how geriatric rehabilitation specialists can help patients overcome these barriers. Overall, this course will provide a roadmap for examination, evaluation, and management of older adults transitioning through the posthospital continuum of care--all critical skills for the geriatric specialist.

Evidence-Based Rehabilitation to Reduce Readmissions

Presented by Jason R. Falvey, PT, DPT, GCS, PhD and Kyle Ridgeway, PT, DPT, CCS

Evidence-Based Rehabilitation to Reduce Readmissions

Subscribe now, and access clinical education and patient education—anytime, anywhere—with video instruction from recognized industry experts.
Video Runtime: 82 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 23 Minutes

Although individuals at risk for hospital readmission span diagnoses and patient populations, common sequelae of a hospitalization are shared. Further, the principles guiding interventions (e.g., focus and intensity) may be similar. This course will review specific direct patient care interventions and other contributions (e.g., communication, discharge recs, decision-making) for patients at risk for hospital readmissions. Case examples for specific diagnoses and patient presentations will be explored.

Patient- and Family-Centered Interventions to Prevent Readmissions

Presented by Jason R. Falvey, PT, DPT, GCS, PhD and Kyle Ridgeway, PT, DPT, CCS

Patient- and Family-Centered Interventions to Prevent Readmissions

Subscribe now, and access clinical education and patient education—anytime, anywhere—with video instruction from recognized industry experts.

Ideal care transitions and efforts to reduce hospital readmissions must involve the patient and family/caregivers. This course will introduce general concepts on engaging patients and families in discharge planning, care transitions, and self-management/monitoring post discharge. Concepts from motivational interviewing and therapeutic alliance will be connected to specific subjective information, patient/family goals, and patient education content.

Physical Function as a Biomarker for Hospital Readmissions

Presented by Jason R. Falvey, PT, DPT, GCS, PhD and Kyle Ridgeway, PT, DPT, CCS

Physical Function as a Biomarker for Hospital Readmissions

Subscribe now, and access clinical education and patient education—anytime, anywhere—with video instruction from recognized industry experts.
Video Runtime: 54 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 26 Minutes

Reducing readmissions is a major goal of many health care organizations. Despite data suggesting that physical and functional factors are independently associated with readmissions, ideal care transition models and hospital readmissions reduction programs lack involvement of rehabilitation professionals. This course will outline the relationship between impaired physical function across the spectrum of care and hospital readmission risk. We will discuss the role of rehabilitation professionals in identification and timely management of functional deficits related to hospitalization.

Care Transitions, Rehabilitation, and Readmission Reduction

Presented by Jason R. Falvey, PT, DPT, GCS, PhD and Kyle Ridgeway, PT, DPT, CCS

Care Transitions, Rehabilitation, and Readmission Reduction

Subscribe now, and access clinical education and patient education—anytime, anywhere—with video instruction from recognized industry experts.
Video Runtime: 77 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 9 Minutes

Ideal care transition models and programs lack rehabilitation professionals. This course will connect current best practices for care transitions to specific recommendations for how rehabilitation professionals can integrate into currently designed programs. Optimal rehabilitation management will be covered, spanning both acute and post-acute care.

Overview of Hospital Readmission Reduction Programs: Relevance to Rehabilitation Providers

Overview of Hospital Readmission Reduction Programs: Relevance to Rehabilitation Providers

Subscribe now, and access clinical education and patient education—anytime, anywhere—with video instruction from recognized industry experts.
Video Runtime: 67 Minutes; Learning Assessment Time: 15 Minutes

Hospital readmissions have become an important patient, hospital, and health care issue. Ideal care transition models have been proposed but do not include rehabilitation therapists. Physical function is independently associated with hospital readmission risk, yet little evidence links rehabilitation to reduced readmissions. This overview course will frame the problem of hospital readmissions, present current care transition models, and then outline risk factors for readmissions. Lastly, we will propose how rehab professionals can fit into efforts to reduce readmissions and improve care transitions.
