The purpose of this educational session is to begin defining and expose the role of the COVID-19 OT in the acute care and ICU setting while being on the frontline during a Pandemic. The lingering effects of COVID-19 have been found to continue to hinder an individual’s ability to participate and be successful in activities of daily living. It is vital as occupational therapists to identify these post-acute rehabilitation needs and advocate for our patients to receive this continuum of care to improve functional outcomes of those affected by this deadly virus in the acute setting. Through improvement of individuals' participating in activities of daily living as well as the quality of life following infection of the virus in the earliest stages, we decrease the need for costly additional care past survival in the acute care settings. Defining the role of the COVID-19 OT assists with advocating for the benefits of the profession on improving functional outcomes, as well as advocates for the rehabilitation needs of those affected.
