National representation in quality and value initiatives

The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) represents the interests of more than 230,000 occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, and occupational therapy students. One way that AOTA represents the interests of occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) and our clients is through involvement in national health care quality and value initiatives. Participation in national quality initiatives facilitates promoting the role of occupational therapy in client care with other health care providers on these committees, as well as ensuring practitioner input into the selection of quality measures that support the role and outcomes of occupational therapy.
