The Occupational Therapy Manager

The occupational therapist working in a management role or starting a private practice should be able to find ample resources to perform successfully, in The Occupational Therapy Manager published by AOTA Press. Fresh, new and contemporary, the book functions as a textbook and includes terms and learning objects at the beginning of each of the 25 chapters. The many references used by the three contributing editors draw from a wide body of professional literature. Some of the information within these 643 pages is about management in general. Some is directly related to health care systems. But mostly, the reader will discover research, charts and useful applications and appendices specific to the delivery of quality occupational therapy services. For example, in Chapter Two, skill sets for OT practitioners versus OT managers are differentiated. In the section, "Defining and Rethinking Management", theoretical and historical perspectives on management are discussed. The section on planning provides practical guidelines for financial and marketing aspects of managing. Consultation is explored. Evidence-based practice is examined in detail. Public policy, professional standards and supervision are also presented at length. The Occupational Therapy Manager is definitely the reference book to own for the entrepreneurial or managerial occupational therapist or health care provider.
