Treating through Covid 19 (part 1)

Covid 19 has drastically changed what seems like everything in just one week. In my first week of treating patients in their homes during the Covid 19 crisis that gripped the nation; I found many things had to change in regard to providing therapy but first and foremost was my mindset. Patient safety remains the first priority. What has been most important during this first week of battling the Covid 19 crisis has been:

• maintaining patient trust
• demonstrating consistent precaution use
• focus on the benefits of OT for every patient and validate the medical necessity
• panic vs gratitude mindset

Many therapists around the globe have lost their jobs in this crisis. Now what? This could be the opportunity to make a life change that you have been waiting for. Use every challenge like this current crisis as an opportunity to strengthen who you are and what you have to offer.
