Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 We have been using the UDS Template for the sign-in sheet. We still use our electronic document for the plan of care, goals etc. I did have an additional question regarding team conference composition. It seems unclear in the final rule as to whether PTA's and COTA's can attend/report at team conferences. How are all of you interpreting this? ________________________________ From: PTManager [mailto:PTManager ] On Behalf Of Stoddart, Lori Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2010 2:18 PM To: 'PTManager ' Subject: IRF question Is anyone using the UDS template for their interdisciplinary Team Conference?

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 CMS has since published clarifications to the final rule and they were very explicit that PTAs and COTAs can not represent their disciplines at team meetings. " 5. Clarification regarding whether certified occupational therapy assistants and physical therapy assistants may be the representatives of their respective therapy disciplines at the interdisciplinary team meetings. Answer: The regulations state that the interdisciplinary team meetings must focus on the following: „h Assessing the individual's progress towards the rehabilitation goals; Considering possible resolutions to any problems that could impede progress towards the goals; Reassessing the validity of the rehabilitation goals previously established; and Monitoring and revising the treatment plan, as needed. Generally, state licensure laws preclude therapy assistants from evaluating patients and establishing or revising/modifying plans of care, which are some of the core functions of the interdisciplinary team meeting. Since therapy assistants cannot perform the core functions of the interdisciplinary team meetings, then they cannot represent their respective disciplines at the meetings.
