OT Intervention in Acute Care
This e-book explores the core concepts you need to know in order to be a successful occupational therapist in acute care. Proper patient care in the acute setting is instrumental in determining the path forward for rehabilitation. It is critical to make the appropriate decisions and assessments for patients in this setting.
Not only does this e-book cover the key components of the acute setting, but you will have access to occupation-based and functional interventions for your patients.
Along with interventions, you’ll also learn the difference between acute care and traditional rehab, the role and goals of acute care OTs, and ways to determine if acute care is a good fit for you.
