IRP Occupational Therapy Assistant

Each rehabilitation team member is first a part of a group effort to provide care within a continuous performance improvement environment, and secondly a distinct professional who provides specific contributions to the team approach. IRP OTA Team members follow plans of care established by a licensed Occupational Therapist, provide a wide variety of treatment techniques; provide education and support to patients and families; and facilitate continuing care planning. Although team members reports directly to a rehabilitation manager, they are also responsible to each other, to those they supervise (student assistants and aides) and to other participants in patient care activities, including attending and resident physicians, nurses, their support staff, and Case Managers, Patient Care Resource Managers, to assure coordination of services and programs. A team member embraces the Intensive Caring values of the organization and uses them to guide interactions with others.
