Acute Care OT Fellow

The Ohio State University

3d • Onsite

About The Position

Rehabilitation team members such as the OT neuro fellow are licensed or certified professionals (occupational therapists) who work within a specific team structure to offer inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation services. These services are offered to the acute-care hospital, the acute-inpatient rehabilitation facility (Dodd Hall), or outpatient service sites to patients who have disorders and conditions associated primarily with traumatic brain injury spinal cord injury, stroke, or other neurogenic disorders. The rehabilitation team members report to rehabilitation team leaders as part of the overall Rehabilitation Services Division structure. 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. Team members assess patients and establish together plans of care; provide a wide variety of treatment techniques; provide education and support to patients and families; and facilitate continuing care planning. Team members evaluate quality of services and participate in outcomes management activities. Although team members report directly to a Rehab Services Manager, they are also responsible to each other and to other participants in patient care activities, including physicians, nurses, support staff, and Patient Care Resource Managers to assure coordination of services and programs.
