SERIES B: Geriatric
This first session will be 2 hours in length while all other sessions will be 1 hour in length. This session will be made available to nursing home directors, nurses and social workers for CEUs along with CTRSs. Nursing CEU's can be obtained through the Pennsylvania State Nurses Association. NHA credits have been applied for through the Pennsylvania State Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators and Social Worker CEUs have been applied for through the Pennsylvania State Board of Social Workers, Marriage and Family Therapists and Professional Counselors. ATRA will provide the CEUs for CTRSs.
Session B1: Experience Matters: Enhancing Quality of Life Through Recreational Therapy in the Nursing Home.
Date: Friday, January 14 Time: 1:00 p.m.
ATRA Academy Faculty: Linda Buettner, Ph.D., LRT, CTRS, Timothy Legg, Ph.D.
Session description: the purpose of this webinar is to discuss the role of recreation therapy in the long term care setting. After a review of applicable CMS definitions, the emerging roles of the CTRS in the long term care setting will be explored. The role of recreation therapy (RT) as it relates to MDS sections F & O will be examined and the current evidence of recreation therapy’s impact on care quality. The webinar concludes with a discussion of the RT as therapist in the SNF and how their role differs, but is synergistic in achieving positive resident outcomes.
Session B2: MDS: An Opportunity for Revolutionary Changes for RT in Skilled Nursing Facilities
Date: Friday, January 28 Time: 1:00 p.m.
ATRA Academy Faculty: Sharon Nichols, CTRS/L
Session description: This session will provide insights into the newly implemented MDS 3.0 Resident Assessment Instrument for skilled nursing facilities. Not only does the MDS 3.0 change the way that we assess and care for residents but also is the driving force behind culture change in long term care facilities. The MDS 3.0 is the catalyst for “resident centered” care and giving the resident a voice in how important things are in their lives and why “we” must accommodate for the resident’s life.-long routines and preferences. For the first time since the passage of OBRA in 1987, quality of care and quality of life/well-being are viewed as having equal importance in a person’s health and well-being. Recreational Therapy ought to be a dynamic and significant force in affirming residents’ rights to be engaged in meaningful ways and be able to achieve their highest practicable level of health and well-being.
Session B3: Coverage for Recreational Therapy Active Treatment
Date: Friday, February 11 Time: 1:00 p.m.
ATRA Academy Faculty: Tim Passmore, Ed.D., CTRS
Session description: This session will review the CMS requirements for provision of RT in an active treatment setting and discuss in which treatment settings Recreational Therapy is covered
