Why This Webinar Matters

 

Quality standards are not just a provider responsibility, they influence how every member of the care team delivers, documents and communicates care.

​

Occupational Therapists play a critical role in supporting independence, identifying risks, enabling reablement and advocating for older adults. However, clinicians can sometimes be unclear about how their work connects with provider governance requirements and quality expectations.

​

This webinar bridges that gap by exploring what the Strengthened Quality Standards mean in everyday Occupational Therapy practice.
