Developing a Global Strategy for strengthening the occupational therapy workforce: a two-phased mixed-methods consultation of country representatives shows the need for clarifying task-sharing strategies
Within a mixed-methods consultation, WFOT representatives identified challenging topics on the draft workforce strategies and suggested methods to improve the Global Strategy, its acceptability, and implementation. The terms 'task shifting/task sharing' raised the greatest discussion among the profession leaders, when the strategy was not sufficiently clarified, specified, or contextualized.
