Name:
Location: Indiana, United States

I became a Professor Emeritus after serving 29 years as a recreational therapy faculty member at Indiana University. I'm a long-time Hoosier, having grown up in Hanover, Indiana. My RT practitioner work was in psych/mental health. After completing my Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, my first faculty position was at the University of North Texas. RT has been a wonderful profession for me as I have had the opportunity to serve as an author and national leader.

Website on RT in MDS 3.0

From Lin Buettner, Ph.D., LRT, CTRS, comes this announcement via the ATRAnet:

http://www.uncg.edu/rth/mds3/mds3

Hi Everyone, We have put together a website with lots of information about RT in MDS 3.0 (see above). Includes the clarification letter from CMS,PowerPoint presentations, instructions on completing Section O., and lots of good information from the Geriatric Treatment Network. I am currently taking too much time everyday with phone calls and emails about MDS 3.0 so this seemed to be the best solution.

I am happy to add materials if you have anything that might be helpful to RT practitioners throughout the country. It is very important that they begin taking orders and providing therapy now. The first look back period took place in September (see website). This means CMS is already collecting data.

Thank you for your help in getting the word out!

Have a great weekend. Lin
