New Rules for Assistants: Are you up to date?


As part of the ever-changing landscape of health care, we all know how important it is to stay up to date about new rules and regulations regarding our particular fields of care. That's why Therapeutic Resources is holding the Subacute/Long Term Care Council Meeting, which is FREE for all Long Term Care Directors, Department Heads and OT, PT and SLP Supervisors.


As the provisions of therapy intervention in long term care rely heavily on the use of occupational and physical therapy assistants, it is imperative that we understand their practice acts, and what is legal and allowable in our therapeutic settings. 


This free presentation will cover the updated rules for occupational therapy assistants, COTA students and holders of limited permits (released February 2012), as well as a review of current rules for physical therapy assistants.


The seminar will be held on Wednesday, June 13th, from 9:30AM to 12:00PM.


FEATURED SPEAKERS:
Debra Engel, DPT, Associate Professor, Program Director of the PTA Program at LaGuardia  Community College

Jeff Tomlinson, MS, CSW, OTR, NYSOTA Legislative Chairperson

SPECIAL DISCUSSION:
2012 SNF Rule Update - Six Months Later
Todd Ostrow, Inpatient Director of Rehabilitation, Metropolitan Jewish Health System


The mission of the Subacute/Long Term Care Council is to provide peer support and information on issues of importance to the long term care rehab manager.

At the conclusion of the council meeting participants will be able to better define supervisory roles in relation to occupational therapy assistants and OTA students, the scope of practice for the physical therapy assistant, and measuring the reimbursement impact of the change in therapy OMRA.

The seminar will be held at the Therapeutic Resources Headquarters in Long Island City, NY. Please RSVP by email, phone, fax or regular mail. When you RSVP, please be sure to include your name, discipline, facility, address, phone number and email address.
