Perhaps you are among the many people for whom occupational therapy process, reglmentation and quality management are not exactly everyday terms. Or you ask yourself whether you really need to worry about such things in your day-to-day working life and whether it is just enough to regularly attend professional advanced training courses. We all have the feeling that we deliver good quality at work, we strive to keep up-to-date by means of regular advanced training, or we have our established treatment methods and empirical values that we are convinced about.
Today, professional quality management is a must in every profession. Especially where public funds, legal regulations or insurance benefits are involved, content-related and organisational standards are prerequisites.
What do politicians, legislators, the public sector and insurers expect from quality management in occupational therapy? What conditions must the quality management fulfil in order to become a success factor in collective bargaining? How do quality management and regimentation relate to each other? What role do professional registers play? What requirements must an occupational therapy treatment process fulfil? What has to be documented and how? But also: How must an occupational therapy facility be equipped? How does it have to be organised? How must its contractual ties be shaped in order to meet tomorrow's quality requirements? In our "quality management" segment we want to answer these and other questions so that you are already prepared today to face the demands of tomorrow.
