#OTalk Q1. https://t.co/N1aGYCxc5x
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
Hello folks #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood Rehab optima is what we use mostly. It's for our daily documentations and reports. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood Some nursing home rehab companies in US use different systems. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood I also know that sometimes I will use Vision to write telephone orders and OT care plans. #otalk
Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT
#OTalk I Use A System Called Jade...To Record Therapy Progress Notes And Also To Record Assessments. https://t.co/6JPZRsZDAJ
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood @Scrumpess In my setting, though buildings that got started (as well as select small buildings) still use paper documentation. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@Scrumpess @PaulSugarhood I find that way too. But I was glad I got transitioned into electronic records at my job rather than dive into straight away. #otalk
Kwaku Agyemang @KwakuOT
Oh Wow...That Must Be Tough? #OTalk https://t.co/ZWmp9EVVdc
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood @shelleyamybeth Now our documentations most of the time look like it is coming from a cookie cutter... at least from what I am using. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood @shelleyamybeth We are given options to type in the billing categories. But most of the time we just click what is available to us to bill. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@shelleyamybeth @PaulSugarhood For me if I have to co-sign for assistants and write reports, that can be a bit time consuming. #otalk
Louise 💙 @NorwoodThreads
Evening everyone. Lurking tonight as on family holiday but looking forward to catching up via the transcript #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@shelleyamybeth @PaulSugarhood And I often am a little afraid if I am not there to supervise the assistants at such facilities physically. #otalk

#OTalk Q2 https://t.co/6kh6aGJelI
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@AmyStringerOT @PaulSugarhood US there are still some! So not alone in U.K. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood For me in writing reports, having all the available notes in one place is great! Also, no need to fight for charts w/ departments! #otalk

@PaulSugarhood In a setting where productivity is king, instant access helps a lot! #otalk
Louise 💙 @NorwoodThreads
@AmyStringerOT #OTalk Ditto!
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@celiabentleyOT @AmyStringerOT @PaulSugarhood And sometimes worse is that if you have to insert something in an already thick chart. #otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT A con is that if you come at same time as everyone else, now you have to fight for computer access in rehab room. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood @mooartdotcom In my company, usually is one computer per licensed therapist (assistants don't count even though they have to chart too). #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@AmyStringerOT That's why I am coming super late. I guarantee will have a computer to me for part of the day! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@AmyStringerOT If everyone comes at around 7-8, coming at 10 or so has its advantages. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@kerri_schOT In my documentation system, you can write anywhere too if you have a PC or someway you can get on Windows with a different OS. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood Good thing about my system as I said earlier is that you can always type in instead of using its builder. #otalk

#OTalk Q3. https://t.co/xay5z5DRYC
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@celiabentleyOT @AmyStringerOT In US, we have a company like that. But many said that it feels like you are operating a taxi cab... since you have to track tx time. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@AmyStringerOT @celiabentleyOT Not necessarily, I have many rehab colleagues complained that a company that does it has lots of glitches. #otalk

@kerri_schOT You would hate to be my colleague then... lol! I have pretty bad handwriting. 😜 #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@celiabentleyOT Unfortunately in my doc system, we still do. One person put DNT can start a chain reaction for a week or longer! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@kerri_schOT @AmyStringerOT And with electronic systems, programs crashing (or forgetting to save) can drive you nuts! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@kerri_schOT But you would like me as a person. I like to keep things loose. I am a free spirit... lol! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@kerri_schOT @AmyStringerOT If your building lose Internet, that means you can't chart. Dealt with that more than a few times already. #otalk

@PaulSugarhood @celiabentleyOT I do sometimes check PT notes... since our goal is to minimize discrepancies with PT. #otalk

@PaulSugarhood @kerri_schOT @AmyStringerOT Good thing I have a PC laptop... so charting at home is always an option. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT We can't. All we can do is wait til when it is up again. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@AmyStringerOT In some cases, actually can also be administrative. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood @AmyStringerOT If you know you have lots of reports due that day, that will be a nightmare from hell waiting for you. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood In my setting, not too much difference. #otalk

#OTalk Q4. https://t.co/zDlNM322fA
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@AmyStringerOT @kerri_schOT @PaulSugarhood I think it depends on setting. I remembered I was given some IEP templates from school based placement. #otalk

RT @PaulSugarhood: Q4 update:
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@kerri_schOT @ChloeWoodleyOT @celiabentleyOT Well- back in the old days, PT is white, OT is blue, and ST is purple. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@kerri_schOT I created that hashtag so that students know that sometimes even qualified OT's can be human, too! 😂 #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood Very rarely! But if I know it is a facility I had been to before (even for a day), I may check. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@celiabentleyOT @kerri_schOT @ChloeWoodleyOT Try being at 35 such facilities, each facility might be a bit different in terms of paper stuff! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood @mooartdotcom In my case, sometimes that can be complete rehab notes... if it's from a facility I am familiar. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood When we are working in a rehab team, communication is still key- no matter you are full time, part time, or just helping out! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Only 5 minutes of the official hour left folks.... #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood And if you are helping out one time or occasionally, sometimes it's better to be cautious with electronic records. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
RT @PaulSugarhood:
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood Yes- because sometimes all it takes is one bad note in our setting to set chain reaction. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood And it's tough when a therapist all of a sudden drops the patient's performance by multiple levels. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
RT @CharlDunkley:
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@CharlDunkley @PaulSugarhood @OTalk_ And along the same lines, all are responsible to see if patient is progressing appropriately. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@EmmaOTstudent @PaulSugarhood That's one downside of the documentation program we are using. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
RT @AmyStringerOT:
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@AmyStringerOT And also communication too. I always encourage my assistants to talk to me about patient progress. #otalk

Thanks to @PaulSugarhood for hosting this evening. Lots to think about. @Helen_OTUK signing off the account now. But do keep chatting #OTalk

@PaulSugarhood If you constantly move around in terms of workplaces, talk with others FIRST so that it decreases likelihood of messing up. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@PaulSugarhood And if you are working with a team, make sure everyone has time to document. Hogging computer is not good. #otalk
