Hello fellow OTs!
I am asking for help. I have recently taken over the position of Rehab Director of a 170 bed SNF. OK - stressful. Plus I have a full caseload (15 or so residents with more each day) and supervising 1 COTA, 2 PTs, 1 PTA (the former director) and a SLP. OK - stress continues! What is really getting to me is the fact that I have no time and particularly no time for paperwork. We are computerized, but we have no template in our system for an OT evaluation. I am having difficulties with writing up the evaluations since they are narrative. Does anyone out there have a template for the geriatric/SNF setting that I could use? I am beyond stressed. They have put an ad in for another COTA (anyone wanting to move down to the Hilton Head, SC area, please write a response), but who knows when help will arrive. Any help with minimizing my paperwork would help greatly!!
Thank you!!!!
