Background

About Julia Wells

After graduating from medical university, I’ve been employed at a acute care hospital for about 6 years as an Occupational Therapist. Duties included performing therapy with orthopedics, and pre- and post-surgery cardiothoracic therapy in ICU and ER environments. Also, I have collaborated with other professions, pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, consumer goods manufacturers, in analyzing data and proposing new therapies, among other responsibilities. As team leader, I oversaw several staff, and worked to improve the hospital business and human resource management, and also built a program of education. Also, I mainly performed rehabilitation in acute care hospitals, from emergency to general beds. In order to return to work for patients who have become disabled, we interviewed patients, their families, and company representatives, explained their medical conditions, envisioned problems and approaches in future work, provided guidance on necessary assistive devices and environmental adjustments, and provided information on external support services. In addition, even after discharge from the hospital, we followed up on the outpatient clinic, shared information with company representatives, etc, and provided guidance on changes in work content to assist in obtaining stable employment. In addition, I became a leader and visualized the current situation based on data, and was engaged in business improvement management, human resource training, and recruitment work.
