Service Development

Hi everyone! I wanted to start a discussion about something I’ve seen make a big difference in the recovery of patients who’ve been in auto accidents—combining no-fault physical therapy with occupational therapy.

As OTs, we focus on helping people regain their independence after injuries, but sometimes patients need additional physical care to get the best results. That’s where no-fault physical therapy comes in—it’s specifically designed to help those injured in car accidents, and the best part is, it’s covered by insurance, so patients don’t have to worry about the financial side.

At Suffolk PT Chiro, I’ve seen how well no-fault physical therapy works alongside OT. By addressing pain and mobility issues, patients are in a better place to fully participate in their OT sessions, making the recovery process smoother and faster.

I’d love to hear your thoughts—has anyone here had experience working with no-fault physical therapy for accident patients? What…

Just wondering if anyone has completed a quality improvement project in an acute setting that worked well either within OT or a small project on the ward that worked well.

working within an acute medical unit and looking for some ideas for referral management? Anyone use a traffic light type process for case load management?

Hello! I hope that you're able to help me? I'm a clinical specialist occupational therapist working in community mental health in the North East of England. I work across a number of adult mental health teams in a locality which are undergoing redevelopment. As a result, additional funding may be available for OT provision. My issue is, is that we cant find recommendations/national indicators about how many OT's v population/client group is realistic. How have you navigated this or what has been funding/service rational for appropriately meeting the OT need of your client groups, in this case, for EIP. Thank you!
