"This interprofessional book highlights the history of the United States health system, interprofessional supports and barriers, leadership theory, managerial responsibilities, and delineations of administrative responsibilities in common health care settings.... provides foundational knowledge for both the physical therapy and occupational therapy professions which can build interprofessional respect, effective collaboration, and communication across various settings in which leadership is key to successful interdisciplinary practice.... The goal is to prepare clinicians with strategies and tools for a future leadership or managerial role…. One of the key features is the bridge it builds for rehabilitation management from the distinct perspectives of both the occupational and physical therapist.... writing is appropriate for a novel audience and clearly articulates basic knowledge of leadership and administration,... an appropriate length of foundational information on health systems thinking that is integral to any future leadership or administrative position for a physical or occupational therapist." ©Doody's Review Service, 2025, Kasey Stepansky, CScD, OTR/L, C/NDT, CBIS (Duquesne University)
