"I wanted to see the evidence - is there a clinical benefit of groups? And there is! It can be motivating to work with and see other people doing the same activity."
- Kevin Brogley at #OTsnf
The role of OTAs in SNFs is not changing under PDPM. We continue to need to be able to collaborate. Both OT and OTA should be intricately familiar with the evaluation and plan of care. Read it and be sure to document occupation-based care. Melissa Tilton, Closing panel #otsnf

"Occupational therapy has always been about cognition. We can make predictions regarding performance in various contexts and can identify the right discharge environment."

Ask your legislators to support this bill! The House and Senate reintroduced the Medicare Home Health Flexibility Act that enables OT to open Medicare home health cases. https://t.co/BBoOliVhAu
