AAACEUs.com Launches Obesity Resource Guide for Healthcare Community

DENVER - Nov. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- As obesity rates in America continue to climb, both healthcare professionals and patient care facilities face challenges in meeting the heightened demands of this particular patient group. To allow healthcare professionals and organizations to easily access information that helps them meet the needs of severely obese patients, AAACEUs.com is excited to present the Obesity Resource Guide. As the leading provider of pre-approved online continuing education courses for healthcare professionals, AAACEUS.com created this online resource to provide comprehensive information and tools to the entire healthcare community.

“Properly caring for severely obese patients can require specialized tools and resources to meet their needs, so we wanted to provide a central, organized site that spans the entire obese patient care continuum,” said Claudia Moore, RN, CCM, C-CDI, vice president, Clinical Services, aaaceus.com. “From discharge facilities to patient transportation and well beyond, the healthcare community can easily access a wide variety of tools and resources to help them best meet the needs of the severely obese patient sector.”

The Obesity Resource Guide provides users with:

• Reference Articles and Continuing Education

• Durable Medical Equipment (Manufacturers)
• Disposables
• Transportation Services
• Medicare and Insurance information
• Hospital / Clinic Design and Space Planning Designers and Architects
• Support Groups

“The guide is already stocked with content on a variety of topics, but as it evolves, users in the healthcare community will be encouraged to submit their own reputable resources to provide even more help to professionals and care organizations,” Moore said. “When it comes to caring for the severely  obese patient population there are a lot of moving parts and a lot of different people involved – the Obesity Resource Guide was created to provide a single source that can provide everyone with the information and tools to ensure the highest levels of patient care for this special-needs population .”
