Adding Value: OT Practice & Medication Management – Non-Member Occupational Therapy Assistant

$75.00

Changes related to value based care are requiring OTs to reevaluate how they provide services and to identify ways in which they can demonstrate OT’s unique contribution when treating patients. This presentation will review aspects of Value Based Care across the continuum and highlight how OT’s role in the assessment and treatment of medication management deficits fits the needs of this new care model. By the end of the course, participants will be able to justify OT’s role in medication management and be able to develop evidence-based assessment and intervention plans to address medication management needs at their treatment setting.
