Systemic barriers, social determinants of health and implicit bias impact patients throughout pregnancy, delivery and the 12-month postpartum period. Participants will analyze national and Illinois-specific data to identify systemic gaps in healthcare access and quality. This webinar will translate these findings into the physical therapy setting diving into screening tools, general orthopedic\/pelvic floor dysfunction testing and referring out as needed. Participants will recognize the hidden barriers patients face when trying to access follow-up care and develop actionable strategies to foster equitable patient outcomes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLEARNER OUTCOMES\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUpon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDefine and differentiate implicit and explicit bias\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribe how systemic barriers, social determinants of health and implicit bias impact disparities in maternal health outcomes across racial and ethnic groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdentify ways for physical therapists to provide equitable care through proactive screening, culturally responsive communication and interdisciplinary referrals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSUCCESSFUL COMPLETION\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eParticipants will be present during the live webinar in its entirety and complete an attendance verification and feedback survey in the Academy Learning Portal within one month of the live air date. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAUDIENCE\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePhysical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONTINUING EDUCATION\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical Therapists: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis online course has been approved by the Illinois Physical Therapy Board for 1.0 Contact Hours.
