What are professional and/or non-professional roles and responsibilities in your chosen field?

PHYSICAL THERAPY
1. A physical therapist is one of the healthcare professionals in charge of patients that have physical impairments. Through the use of specialized exercises and examinations, physical therapists are able to determine and deal with the physical impairments of the patients.

2. PTs can also work in different fields like corporate settings by providing physical conditioning for the employees and sports institutions by providing specialized training catered towards improving the capabilities of the athletes in their respective sports.

3. PTs are also responsible for educating others regarding dos and don’ts regarding different activities, from carrying objects to how people should sit down on a chair, PTs are responsible for making sure that people in communities are educated properly to avoid injuring themselves.

What is the value of role clarity among members of the team?

1.  Having defined roles in a multi-professional team is imperative to avoid confusion within the team, having clearly defined roles and responsibilities within the team allow the team to work efficiently by minimizing mistakes and overlap in the members’ work. Having defined roles also allows each team member to properly conduct their duties without overstepping their professional boundaries

1.  What are professional and/or non-professional roles and responsibilities in your chosen field?

Physical Therapy

PTs are responsible for examining and evaluating the patient’s condition. This is done through conducting a complete history taking and performing different objective assessments. With the findings from the tests, it is our responsibility to formulate different interventions to help address the impairments and chief complaints of our patients.

PTs play a role in helping the patients restore or achieve  their highest functioning goals by providing different exercises and treatments.

PTs are movement experts hence we are advocates of mobility and exercises. It is part of our duty to encourage and educate our patients the importance of having an active lifestyle that is appropriate for their condition.

Aside from being in the healthcare sector, PTs also have different career opportunities. They vary from being in the administrative sector by managing a PT clinic or in the academic field by becoming professors. Most PTs are also heavily exposed in the research field.

2.  What is the value of role clarity among members of the team?

Role clarity is an essential part of working among team members. With role clarity, different professionals are able to delineate the different duties and responsibilities of each member. This then would promote efficiency and a more holistic approach in the treatment plan for the patient. It would also help in assigning members that would have expertise in providing intervention for specific problems of the patient. Additionally, this encourages teamwork among the team because this requires them to be able to communicate effectively with each other. Without role clarity, it would be difficult for the team to carry out their intervention plan which would eventually result in loss of progress for the patient.

When the roles and duties of the members are defined, the team will be efficient towards achieving their goals. Role clarity will help in avoiding confusion and delays as well as duplication of work or overlapping of efforts. This is important especially in healthcare because there may be overlapping of responsibilities among the members of the team. Having a clear definition of each member’s roles will allow the team to maximize their strength and thereby undertake more activities given that the members already know what they are expected to do.

What are professional and/or non-professional roles and responsibilities in your chosen field?

PHYSICAL THERAPY

1. A physical therapist is one of the healthcare professionals responsible in the rehabilitation process of patients with varying conditions. By providing different PT interventions and evaluation, we help the patient restore function, alleviate pain, prevent further progression of condition, and attain their maximum independence.

2. Aside from these, PTs also help athletes through strengthening, conditioning, and teaching them proper body mechanics to be able to avoid injuries in the future.

3. Other PTs are also in the academe field who educate future PTs.

4. They provide care for people in a variety of settings, including hospitals, sports & fitness facilities, universities, private practices, and outpatient clinics. With the help of the different members of the rehabilitation team, they work hand-in-hand to achieve the client/patient’s highest possible level of independent function.

What is the value of role clarity among members of the team?

If there is no role clarity among member of the team, this can cause conflict and misunderstanding among them. Defining the role of each profession will be beneficial to understand what is expected from them with regards to coming up with a treatment plan for the patient. Clarity of job role enhances employee and team performance. This helps in measuring the performance of the employee. In addition, having an open and constant communication between each member of the team will allow them to have a better and efficient rehabilitation session and plan.

2.  What is the value of role clarity among members of the team?
The clarity of roles among different members of the team directly impacts team performance and personal effectiveness which consequently affects the client. A lack of clarity among the roles of a team’s members may cause stress, confusion, and possible repetition of tasks and resource wastage, hindering the team’s effectiveness. Role clarity allows members to have a clear understanding of their tasks, responsibilities and processes when providing care for a client. Lastly, this sets boundaries to what an individual healthcare professional must address and what he/she must not address to avoid disorganization. Therefore, role clarity is a team’s strategy to have an effective team performance which could also build trust among other members.

1.  What are professional and/or non-professional roles and responsibilities in your chosen field?

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

To assess, evaluate and implement treatments for clients so that they can perform their occupations (i.e. meaningful activities) and have an increased sense of independence and quality of life. This is done through a client-centered attitude where different client factors (e.g. physical, cognitive, social needs) and contextual factors (e.g personal, environmental, etc.) are all considered for a more holistic approach.

To plan and establish realistic goals with clients (including their caregivers) towards meaningful and desired outcomes.

To educate and motivate clients in the process of their rehabilitation

[As part of an interdisciplinary team] To contribute to analyzing cases; planning and implementing efficient interventions for the clients while maintaining a professional and friendly relationship with colleagues.

2.  What is the value of role clarity among members of the team?

Since the team is interdisciplinary, there are different stakeholders involved and that would mean different roles to play. Firstly, by having role clarity, each member has a clear understanding of what is expected of them as well as what is expected of their colleagues—this allows little to no room for errors, role confusion, and reduced health outcomes. Secondly, having clarity also entails good communication which is critical when the team discusses a certain case on what the best intervention should be—this promotes efficiency because there are different minds working together at the same time it facilitates learning for all. Ultimately, clarity is beneficial to both parties wherein the interdisciplinary team can learn from each other and at the same time it promotes safe and quality care for their clients.

What are professional and/or non-professional roles and responsibilities in your chosen field?

1. An occupational therapist works across all age groups and throughout a wide range of physical and psychosocial areas that affect one’s ability to participate and perform in his/her occupation.

2. Enable clients to participate and perform in occupations, especially in activities that are meaningful to them.

1. Promote health and well-being through occupations. These occupations are: activities of daily living (ADLs), instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), health management, rest and sleep, education, work, play, leisure, and social participation.

3. Create a treatment plan that is holistic and client-centered.

1. Goals (STGs & LTGs) should target the needs and wants of the client.

2. Approaches may be bottom-up (skill-based) or top-down (occupation-based).

3. All contexts, performance patterns, performance skills, and client factors are considered and evaluated since these may affect one’s participation and performance in occupations.

1. Environmental Context. One of the distinguishing roles of OTs is the assessment of the client’s environment (e.g. home, school, work) in order to provide recommendations – adapt or modify the environment to better encourage occupational performance. The support available for the client is also taken into account.

4. Besides the professional team, the client, involved family member/s, and caregiver/s are included in the rehabilitation team.

1. Educating and training the involved family member/s and/or caregiver/s are also a part of the roles of occupational therapists. This is to ensure that the client would be able to have the support needed even at home and to create an environment for the client that would be able to understand and enable the client in engaging in his/her occupation.

1. Educate regarding the client’s condition

2. Role of an occupational therapist. How OTs can help the client in achieving his/her goals.

3. Provide home programs to carry out interventions at home.

5. Transition Services. OTs also helps clients transition smoothly from one environment or occupation to another (e.g. community integration/reintegration). This is done by:

1. Learning or improving the necessary skills to transition to the new environment/occupation.

2. Prepare for routine and role changes that would accompany the transition.

3. Adapt or modify environment or activities to make the transition easier, support client’s participation and performance, and increase independence.

What is the value of role clarity among members of the team?

In some cases, there may be overlapping roles within the members of the team. Communication and having knowledge regarding each one’s role and responsibilities are essential to prevent role blurring and to be able to provide an efficient intervention plan and proper execution – ultimately, leading to the achievement of goals and optimum care service; moreover, this decreases the chances of errors from occurring. Effective communication may be achieved through formal or informal communication processes.

1. What are professional and/or non-professional roles and responsibilities in your chosen field?

The professional role of an SLP is to assess, diagnose and treat individuals suffering from speech, language, and swallowing disorders. Speech and language are an important part of everyday life. If a person has difficulty communicating, they won’t be able to perform to the best of their abilities as learning and interacting with other people requires proper communication may it be verbal or nonverbal what’s important is that the speaker is able to convey their thoughts properly. Children who suffer from speech and language disabilities tend to fall behind their peers’ causing feelings of frustration and isolation. Thus, the main role of speech-language pathologists is to be able to provide therapy in order for the child to keep up and continue to learn with their peers and grow up to be a functioning member of society. On the other hand, for geriatric patients, the main goal for therapy is for them to relearn the skills that they have lost. Thus, their main goal for speech and language therapy is for them to be able to communicate or do everyday tasks like how they used to. The nonprofessional role of an SLP is to provide support and encourage their patients. This is vital in order to maintain the patients’ motivation to continue with therapy and improve the prognosis of the disorder. This will not only make therapy easier for the clinician but would also greatly help the patient as a positive attitude will improve their overall motivation in life.

2.  What is the value of role clarity among members of the team?

Clarity is an essential aspect among team members as it allows for engagement that improves trust and transparency. Communication happens when there is a sender and a receiver where both play an important role when information is being shared. The sender must be clear and concise with their thoughts and the receiver must be able to ask questions whenever something is unclear. Thus, clarity is important so that both sender and the receiver fully understand what the other person is saying to avoid a breakdown in communication.  The clarity in roles is important so that the weaknesses of one person can be supported by the strengths of another. This is important in the healthcare profession as not everyone is taught the same thing—that’s why there are specializations so that not one person is burdened by everything. Therefore, it is essential that the roles are clarified so that each person has a clear understanding of their responsibilities and be able to perform to the best of their abilities. Not only will this improve communication but it will also improve productivity as every person is aware of what they’re supposed to do and not be burdened by things they do not know.

2.   What is the value of role clarity among members of the team?

Since the roles and responsibilities of professionals in our team may overlap at times, communication among members is key to an efficient treatment. Role clarity and proper communication would allow the members to work on tests and treatment plans under their scope while still considering the findings and opinions that the other members may provide. The professionals should also learn to modify the treatment because in most cases, the treatment plan made by other members would affect our treatment plan as well.

Achieving total clarity would lead to the best chance and best results from therapy for the client.
