Hi. I work in a hospital setting. My employer has recently had us start using the "6 clicks" form. They are making this mandatory for us to complete. I have 2 questions regarding this. They are not allowing us to use the ADL version and want us to use the mobility screen form. Are OT's allowed to use the Mobility 6 clicks? Also, do we need to have a hard copy of the screen form completed in the patient's chart OR is simply documenting the RAW score in the electronic evaluation form sufficient? Thank you, I appreciate you assistance!

What is best practice for recertification or discharge re-activation status . If a recertification or discharge occurred and the director of rehab is requesting it reactivated , how may days may elaspse for this to be allowed?




OT2 January 2018 Rachael Butler, OTR/L OT0006072 [email protected] Dear: Ms. Butler: This letter is in response to your correspondence requesting clarification for recertification or discharge re-activation. Occupational therapists are not required to have a referral and/or prescription to evaluate, treat and/or discharge clients in the State of Ohio. However, hospital or facility policies, accrediting bodies, and/or reimbursement agencies may be more restrictive than the Ohio Occupational and Physical Therapy Practice Acts. They may have other requirements and guidelines, including requiring a physician’s order to discontinue services, which need to be met for accreditation and/or reimbursement of occupational therapy services. In any situation, licensees should follow the more restrictive policies. The discharge summary would document final discharge date and disposition, as well as the reason for discharge. The Section thanks you for your correspondence and appreciates your understanding that it is your professional responsibility to remain current with professional standards. Please visit the Board’s website (http://otptat.ohio.gov) to review the Occupational Therapy Practice Act and other information related to the regulation of occupational therapy in Ohio.
