Who accepts final responsibility for all delineated tasks?
It is the responsibility of the supervising OTR to have established an understanding of the supervisee’s capabilities. The form of supervision (consultation versus reassessment) may be directly related to the expertise of the COTA carrying out the treatment plan. It may be very appropriate to mix the form of supervision based on client needs. This is also true for the non-skilled aspects of tasks delegated to aides. Please see OT Statute 40-36-290.
