To support therapists (OT, PT, S-LP) and therapy assistants (OTA, PTA, CDA, rehabilitation assistants) in their delivery of quality, best practice stroke care, the Ontario Regional Stroke Networks Rehabilitation Coordinator Group developed an interactive quiz on Rehabilitation Intensity. The quiz serves as an educational tool for therapists and therapy assistants who report stroke Rehabilitation Intensity data, helping them to apply the definition of Rehabilitation Intensity:
• as part of the orientation for new and/or casual staff
• as an annual or bi-annual refresher for experienced staff.
