RESOURCES & DISCIPLINES Bring This Course to You!
Lisa Sinton has been an occupational therapist for over 20 years. She has a Bachelor of Communications degree from Arizona State University; a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Occupational Therapy from Quinnipiac University; and a Master’s of Public Administration from Florida Atlantic University. Lisa has worked with pediatric and adults in outpatient, inpatient, and school based settings. She has worked as a Rehab Manager and served as a Rehab Clinical Educator for five years in a large community hospital. Lisa was responsible for building the online clinical documentation systems at two different hospitals for all the rehab therapies in both inpatient and outpatient departments as they transitioned from paper documentation to online documentation. Although she reviewed charts in her capacity as a Rehab Clinical Educator, she believes that the role that prepared her most thoroughly to teach clinical documentation was her work in utilization review for an insurance company. For five years she read rehab documentation from occupational, physical and speech therapists, to determine if the documentation submitted met the criteria to continue with therapy. Lisa reports that she learned more about therapy and documentation in those five years than she did in any clinical setting. As a reviewer she had many aha moments, and developed a much better understanding as to why we are all writing these things down. Rather than focusing on the many component parts, Lisa offers her experience to guide you through a look at the bigger picture.

"This was a great course. The one thing I would recommend is spending a bit more "working time" on goal development itself."

"Overall, this course allowed my to broaden my knowledge of documentation, third party payors, how to better communicate the pt's needs/ progress in a better manner, and overall how I can better documentation in general. There were many points I just listened and tried to be "like a sponge" and soak it all in. I did not participate as much as I would have liked in the online chats, but I was able to make more written notes on the print outs so I can use this information for future documentations. It was a good learning experience today for me, and the class was enjoyable. "

"It was very helpful to hear the point of view of the payor, as denials seem to be increasingly frequent. This information will be beneficial to help prevent denials and ensure my patients get the skilled services they need. "

"The course was excellent; Lisa took a subject that is not always that exciting to listen to and gave very good examples; the course was well organized and her slide drawings to capture the meaning were incredible. I was in awe of that! Suggestions: during the 'workshop'/lab time, for those at home, there was a lot of down time. I believe that many of those labs could have been cut in 1/2 and or gone over together as a group. if this course was not live stream and on the road, then that amount of time may be appropriate but for us at home, it felt like there was just too much down time. This was my first live stream and overall I was very impressed. Annmarie did a great job moderating and it was fun to 'chat' and ask questions with others on line and in studio. The camera crew also did a great job!!! "
