Description:
This webinar will introduce the My Transitional Care Plan during the COVID-19 Pandemic (MTCP-C19) tool. The webinar will provide an overview of the tool, how and why it was developed and how its use has impacted transitions during COVID-19. The presenters will also speak to the important role occupational therapists play during a resident’s transition in to or out of a setting, and the ways in which occupational therapists can implement the MTCP-C19 tool to help facilitate a successful transition.
Session Topics:
- Reflect on the unique challenges when supporting individuals to transition across care settings during the pandemic and ways these can take place more seamlessly in the future by fostering better communication and information sharing around critical information normally lost in transitions.
- Identify the critical elements needed to support transitions into long-term care and retirement homes for older adults living with dementia, complex mental health, substance use, and other neurological conditions.
- Discuss the important role that occupational therapists (OTs) play in facilitating transitions and equip them with a new tool they may consider incorporating into their practice.
