Clinician Task Force

Since early 2011 the Clinician Task Force (CTF) has focused our efforts on increasing clinicians’ awareness and recognition of the importance of appropriate access and funding for Complex Rehab Technology for people with disabilities. This is critical in gaining support from the clinical community for the separate benefit category for CRT.

NCART has created a new video called Complex Rehab Technology. Essential for Health. Essential for Life.  The video provides an introduction to Complex Rehab Technology from the perspectives of individuals that rely on it each day for their health and independence, physicians that prescribe it, and consumer organizations that work to protect access. The video also highlights changes needed to ensure adequate access.  

As a direct result of the work of the CTF, we are pleased to report tangible progress with the unanimous passage of CRT motions within the Representative Assembly of the AOTA (representing ~40,000 members) and the House of Delegates of the APTA (representing ~77,000 members). These are the highest policy-making bodies of these associations and the first occasion bringing attention and formalizing policies related to CRT issues!     viagra
