Comprehensive skills in management, administration, and leadership are essential for occupational therapy assistants (OTA) in their daily interactions with their clients in various health care environments.
Inside Management and Administration for the OTA: Leadership and Application Skills, Dr. Karen Jacobs has gathered an expert team of 11 contributors of clinicians, academicians, administrators, managers, and graduate students to address each of the ACOTE Standards with a focus on evidence-based literature and examples of the leadership and management skills needed as an OTA.
What you will learn from Management and Administration for the OTA:
Contexts and Health Care—the potential impact of policy issues as they relate to the practice of occupational therapy
Leadership and Advocacy—two important roles that OTAs need to assume to be agents of change
Credentialing—introduces the national requirements for credentialing and for licensure, certification or registration under state laws
Reimbursement—the various reimbursement systems requirements that affect the practice of occupational therapy
