Reasons to attend

Join occupational therapy leaders, practitioners, and advocates for a focused day of education built around a single driving question: how do we deliver care that truly matters in post-acute settings— and prove it? As health care moves deeper into value-based care and outcome-based reimbursement models, OT practitioners have more opportunity than ever to demonstrate their distinct impact. This conference gives you:

  • a framework to promote person-centered care and meaningful participation for your clients
  • ways to use the Occupational Profile to strengthen outcomes and reinforce occupational therapy’s value within interdisciplinary teams
  • practical behavioral health strategies for clients with mental and behavioral health challenges in long term care settings

You’ll also learn about how to navigate changes to Medicare and the need to demonstrate quality in home health settings and learn from OT practitioners who have shaped quality-initiatives at every level.

This conference is relevant to OT practitioners and to non-OT managers and quality directors alike. Attend from anywhere—you’ll get access to the conference recordings for one year and earn 5 contact hours.
