Admin Flashcards
standardization
Uniformity: Content, administration, scoring.
Includes description of purpose, admin/scoring protocol, and established norms and validity.
What does administration protocol for eval/screen include?
instructions, ID’s required materials, provision of exact wording of directions to client.
What does scoring protocol include?
Ratings and criteria to determine ratings. Norms for range of ratings specific to population. Norm data= age, gender, diagnostic groupings
Validity
Accuracy of assessment to determine if tool measures what it meant to measure.
Face validity
how well assessment APPEARS to meet its stated purpose
Content Validity
Content in eval is representative of content that could be measured.
(Ex: role checklist = adequate list of roles?)
Criterion Validity
COMPARES assessment tool to another with established validity.
Correlation (compares). Higher correlation = better value
Concurrent criterion validity
COMPARES results of 2 instruments given at approx. the same time.
Predictive criterion validity
COMPARES degree to which an instrument can predict performance on future criterion
Reliability
Establishes consistency and stability of evaluation.
Good Reliability = scores same from time-time, place-place, eval-eval.
Correlation or % identifying degree that 2 items agree or relate.
Inter-rater reliability
interobserver. Different raters using same tool get same results.
Test-retest reliability
same results when administered 2x+ by same administrater
List of assessment tool types
observation interviews self-report checklists rating scales Goal Attainment Scales (GAS) Performance Tests norm referenced assessments criterion referenced assessments specific tools for : client factors, areas of occupation, performance skills/patterns, contexts.
Observational Skills
In diff contexts
structured/unstructured
assess environmental & physical contexts, and physical and sociocultural supports and barriers.
Interview Guidelines
Establish purpose and rapport
ask organized/formal questions
observe nonverbal comm
interpret incongruence of non/verbal comm
listen before talking
Answer personal questions directly/honestly
interpret verbal/nonverbal responses- hypothesize about situation
develop plan based on above.
maintain confidentiality at all times.
Developmental considerations in evaluation
family/teacher interviews & Home/Class observations
Consider developmental levels for toys and evaluate media
observe a/symmetries, trunk stability, pelvis/hips/shoulders at rest and movement.
Observe transitions: in/out sidelying, quad, prone/sup, sit/stand, kneel, half-kneel, tailor/long/heel/side sit.
assess quality of movement and FMC
Consider positioning, AE, seating, tech needs, visual and auditory aides.
Assess cognition in context of play & occ’s
Assess psychosocial skills- coping, frustration tol, social interactions
Types of OT Intervention
Prevention
Primary- create/promote/enhance health
secondary- early detection of problem in at risk population (screening preemies for dev delay)
Tertiary- eliminate/reduce impact of dysfunction on individual
Meeting health needs
change process
management
maintenance
Intervention planning
formulate plan collaborate with individual prioritize problems to address content= LTG, STG, possible referrals Intervention methods Duration/frequency. Number/type of sessions recommendation for referrals use clinical reasoning
Principles of OT Interventions
Interventions:
change agent to remediate or restore
establish performance skills and develop habits
valued = inherently motivating
ID values and interests
practice perf skills and reinforce performance
produces feedback
facilitate mastery or competence
promote participation
assume responsibility for own health/wellness
positive influence on health/well-being
means to adapt to changing needs/conditions
create and maintain ID
positive effect psychological fxn
meaning/purpose influence quality of performance
satisfaction and fulfillment
influence how ppl spend time and make decisions
code of ethics
aspirational code of core values to guide ethical actions
enforceable principles and standard of conduct to AOTA members
Beneficence
safety and well being of clients
nonmaleficence
do no harm
autonomy
respect pt right to self-determination, privacy, confidentiality, consent
justice
promote fairness and objectivity
veracity
comprehensive, accurate, objective information
fidelity
treat others with respect, fairness, discretion, integrity
nosocomial infection
hospital acquired
ethical distress
know correct action to take, but barriers prevent it.
ethical dilemma
2+ potentially moral ways to solve problem.
Abuse
duty to report = beneficence
minimum standard = report to supervisor
Ethical decision making
- ID issues/dilemmas
- Gather relevant info
- determine conflicting values/areas of agreement
- ID relevant alternative course of action
- Determine all possible neg/pos outcomes
- Weigh consequences of each
- Seek input from others
- apply professional judgment
- contact agencies assoc. with individual
- determine desired/potential outcome of filing complaint.
AOTA
jurisdiction: professional membership provides guidelines NO DIRECT authority - reports to AOTA ethics commission = extensive, confidential review process.
NBCOT
jurisdiction:
National credentialing agency
NO DIRECT authority over UNCREDENTIALED practitioners
* authority to investigate and discipline NBCOT certified practitioners
SRB - State Regulatory Boards
Jurisdiction:
Public/state bodies
protect public from potential harm.
Each state has own scope of practice guidelines and required qualifications
Most adopt AOTA code of ethics
AUTHORITY to discipline if public at risk
OT AIDES
not OT practitioners
OTA’s
can expand role by establishing service competency
primary role = implement tx’s
Can CONTRIBUTE to eval, devel/implement Interv plan, & monitor/document Pt responses
Must be supervised by OT
Types of supervision
Close - direct, daily
routine - direct @ least every 2 wks
General - direct, @ least monthly
Minimal - as needed
OT Aide Supervision
Can be supervised by COTA
intermittent - 0 Pt contact
Continuous - with client related tasks
Intradisciplinary
1 discipline/evaluation/tx
little to no involvement of other disciplines
NOT HOLISTIC
Multidisciplinary
Several disciplines assess/perform interventions INDEPENDENT of each other. ( like Franciscan med grp)
some formal communication btw team
resources/responsibilities individually allocated - may cause competition
Interdisciplinary
Jacobs Ladder
all disciplines collaborate for decision making
eval’s and interventions still independent
greater understanding of each disciplines role/perspectives
Transdisciplinary
Role Blurring.
Trans - man/woman. PT/OT….
Ongoing training, support, cooperation, etc, ensure integrity and quality of care.

provider paid PROSPECTIVELY (monthly). Paid set fee whether or not care has been provided.
