How
will you prepare for your duties and/or collaboration with the
responsible parties regarding care coordination and case management for
the OT clients to whom you will be assigned during your first Level II
rotation at the assigned site? What elements of care coordination and
case management do you think will be particularly challenging? What
strategies will you use to meet these challenges? (For guidance and
ideas, see Chapter 69 Management of OT Services in your Willard and Spackman’sOccupational
Therapy textbook as well as Chapter 72 Supervision.) Also consider how
you would plan to utilize management structures and supervision at your
assigned Level II facility to successfully work with clients to address
their issues related to care transitions and life transitions.
2. Regarding care coordination, case management, and transition-related OT services (including OT discharge planning): In what ways would your preparation be the same and it what ways would it differ for Level II in a traditional practice environment (such as an SNF) versus an emerging practice environment (such as an Assisted Living Facility)? Be explicit in describing each of these types of settings in order to fully explore the similarities and differences related to care coordination, case management and transition-related OT services
