148.6435 COORDINATION OF SERVICES.

An occupational therapist must:

(1) collect information necessary to ensure that the provision of occupational therapy services are consistent with the client's physical and mental health status. The information required to make this determination may include, but is not limited to, contacting the client's licensed health care professional for health history, current health status, current medications, and precautions;

(2) refer a client to an appropriate health care, social service, or education practitioner if the client's condition requires services not within the occupational therapist's service competency or not within the practice of occupational therapy generally, or if the client's acuity warrants alternative care; and

(3) participate and cooperate in the coordination of occupational therapy services with other related services, as a member of the professional community serving the client.
