  • Work collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team, including physicians, nurses, occupational and speech therapists, social workers, and other healthcare professionals, to coordinate care, facilitate discharge planning, and ensure optimal clinical outcomes.
  • Accurately document all assessments, goals, interventions, and patient responses in the electronic health record, complying with regulatory, payer, and organizational standards.
