Guest guest Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Marcy, Can you recommend any OT's in Akron for PD patient. She saw hand OT at Wellness center but they could not help her especially with handwriting. How are things going? I was waiting to see you on list serve since I couldn't find your email! Have a great day Kathy Kathleen B. Szirony, PT Rehab Manager Superision of other disciplines Hello collegues- I would like to hear how other facilities are handling performance reviews for individuals they might supervise who are outside their own particular discipline. We are a realtively small organization and have a very flat organizational structure without discipline specific therapy leads or levels. Simply a therapy supervisor who oversees all the PT, OT and Speech staff at their particular site. TJC Standard HR.01.06.01 requires that performance be evaluated by someone with the clinical training, knowledge, and competence to assess the skills of the practitioner. In their last visit to us, TJC determined that a PT could not evaluate the performance of an OT or Speech therapist and visa versa. We have used a peer review system in the past to collect data/feedback that we integrate into the performance appraisal. That did not meet TJC's needs. Any additional suggestions on how to improve on this ? Thanks very much!

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi Kathy- As far as specific expertise in PD, there really isn't anyone. As you well know, PD is a population that is TOTALLY underserved especially in this area and I am trying to hire for someone to develop that program. I actually do have a Speech therapist who is LSVT certified, and a PT candidate who is, as a new grad, has a strong interest and some additional training. But not a specific OTR. That being said, the two best OTs I know in the area are: Light at our White PONd office- . That would be on the same side of town as the Wellness center. is extremely creative and persistent with all things neuro and functional. I love to send her my patients. The other is Margaret Carl at our Cuyahoga Falls Office . Highly experienced, also very inventive and persistent. Margaret works with our SLVT trained speech therapist so Amy may well chime in. As for here- I plan to be in Columbus May 1, so see you then.....
