This evening's session will provide an overview of those changes and through discussion and case examples, look at occupational therapy practitioners’ role in supporting and managing the changes, as well as the role and value of occupational therapy in post-acute care. Learning Objectives: By the end of this program, participants will be able to: 1. Discuss the impact of the evolving changes in post-acute care assessment, quality reporting, and payment systems on occupational therapy service delivery. 2. Explain the connection between the post-acute initiatives and updates, and the ways in which to support and manage the changes 3. Identify resources and ways in which occupational therapy practitioners may support and promote the role and value of occupational therapy in post-acute care settings. Please join us for an informative evening and an opportunity to network with colleagues! | Location: Division of Occupational Therapy Adult and Aging Performance Lab Blake Law Center Room 230 D Western New England University 1215 Wilbraham Road Springfield, MA 01119 Cost: Free to MAOT members.
