💡 Specialized rehabilitation services are identified in the resident’s PASRR and are part of the comprehensive care plan. Rehabilitation services must be ordered by the provider and performed by qualified personnel and can include:  ✅ Physical Therapy  ✅ Speech-Language Pathology  ✅ Occupational Therapy  ✅ Respiratory Therapy  ✅ Rehabilitative Services for mental illness and intellectual disability    The care plan and provider orders should identify any required assistive devices, adaptive equipment, and splints.  Interventions should be taken to optimize resident use and minimize the risk of harm, including pressure injuries. Optimizing specialized rehabilitation services can improve residents’ quality of life.    #NationalRehabilitationAwarenessWeek #Mitig8RiskReveal #Mitig8YourRisk #LegalNurseConsultant #HealthcareCompliance Hindy Katz , Lisa Fedorka Brocky
