Lab Values and Vital Signs Manual

The lab values manual is a compilation of lab values that are commonly tested on various patient populations. It was developed as a tool to assist rehab staff (PT/OT/PTA/COTA) in clinical decision making at Henry Ford Hospital. 

It is expected that the treating therapist will utilize this manual in addition to critical reasoning, discussions with physicians and written clarification in the patient’s chart in order to begin or continue interventions on patients whose lab values are outside of normal ranges. In addition, all therapists are expected to follow guidelines for vital signs when providing care to patients.

The manual is free. To access the manual, click "I Want to Attend" below and provide your contact information. The manual will be emailed within 1 week from receipt of request.
