Productivity in occupational therapy is a hot topic! Shannon Bertsch OTR discusses what she learned from attending many courses on productivity and ethics at the AOTA Conference this year, as a way to gain knowledge, collect tips and optimize client centered care, all while maintaining professional responsibility. Let’s dig into productivity in skilled nursing facilities!
Is Point of Service Documentation a Way to Help Productivity?
Having point of service documentation can be a great help when it comes to boosting productivity in occupational therapy. It allows therapists to quickly and easily record and track patient information, so they can focus more on the actual therapy. It also helps to streamline the process of collecting and analyzing data, which can be used to improve patient outcomes. Additionally, it can help to reduce paperwork and administrative tasks, freeing up more time for therapists to spend with their patients, but is not always possible due to the involved nature of OT practitioners and activities of daily living and manual techniques.
