OT and Referral of Older Adults with Cancer
Getting the right patients into therapy at the right time is the first step to great OT care.
But, the research we've explored around this topic has suggested that we have a lot of potential for improvement in this area.
This week's article looks at therapy referrals for older adults with cancer, and I hope it will serve as a conversation starter in the Club. We absolutely must look into the broader challenge of connecting with patients who could potentially benefit from our services.
To discuss this article please join us at the OT Potential Club.
