UH Sports Medicine connection with Grand Valley High School Athletes

University Hospitals is the official healthcare provider for Grand Valley High School, and we are here to help with all GVHS's medical needs. If a GV athlete needs to see an Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Leland, Grand Valley's Orthopedic Sports Medicine doctor, can get them in to see him within 24 hours (appointments: 440-285-5004). If a GV athlete needs to see a Medical Doctor, Dr. Ervine, Grand Valley's Primary Care Physician, will get them in immediately (appointments 440-632-0408). Please remember to keep Grand Valley's Athletic Trainer, Denise Fisher, informed of any injuries, primarily sports-related injuries. Denise can help schedule appointments for Dr. Leland and Dr. Ervine, evaluate and treat injuries, and arrange immediate follow-up with Dr. Leland or Dr. Ervine as needed. Also, if you go to the Emergency Room, please let Denise know so she can get you in to see Dr. Leland or Dr. Ervine immediately!

Impact

WHAT IS IMPACT?
IMPACT IS A COMPUTERIZED NEUROCOGNITIVE ASSESSMENT TOOL TO HELP LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS EVALUATE AND MANAGE A SUSPECTED CONCUSSION. IMPACT IS THE INDUSTRY LEADER IN CONCUSSION MANAGEMENT AND TRUSTED BY TEAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS AROUND THE WORLD.

IMPACT COMES IN TWO FORM
BASELINE TEST –ADMINISTERED BY A PHYSICIAN, NURSE, ATHLETIC TRAINER, ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, OR COACH BEFORE THE START OF A SPORT SEASON, SCHOOL YEAR, OR OTHER ACTIVITY. BASELINE SCORES ARE COLLECTED AND STORED ON OUR HIPAA COMPLIANT SERVER.
IMPACT RECOMMENDS RE-ADMINISTERING THE BASELINE TEST EVERY TWO YEARS.
POST-INJURY TEST –ADMINISTERED BY A LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROVIDER WHEN A CONCUSSION IS SUSPECTED.
TEST RESULTS ARE COMPARED TO BASELINE SCORES AND/OR NORMATIVE DATA SCORES AS PART OF A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER'S ASSESSMENT OF THE INJURY. MULTIPLE POST-INJURY TESTS MAY BE GIVEN TO AN INDIVIDUAL DURING THE COURSE OF TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION.
