Hello: This morning, I met with one of Central Florida's largest hospital's case manager staff. I personally asked with approximately 10 case managers and asked if the refer their d/c'd patients for OT. Every one of them said something like: "not too much for OT, but quite a bit for PT".
How can it be? How can a large hospital's case manager staff not refer to OT, except in rare cases? I get so frustrated with such scenarios because, in my experience, it happens all the time. It is so rare to speak with someone in the medical field that utilizes OT for clients with occupational performance issues. On those rare occasions that someone does mention OT, it has been from an orthopedic setting and they refer to OT for upper extremity issues.... YUCK! Ron P.S. Just needed to vent! *****************************��********************************** To remove yourself from the OTnow mail list, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message's *body*, put the following text: unsubscribe OTlist - List messages are archived at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED] *****************************��***********************************
