    -clients are medically unstable
  • LOS is 1-7 days
  • extension of LOS requires significant documentation to justify
  • OT evaluation process
  • quick and accurate screening of major difficulties impeding function (eg. cognitive status, home safety skills)
  • OT intervention focus:
    1) stabilization of client’s status

  • OT evaluation and intervention is often limited by the population’s severe and complex medical need
    • evaluation and intervention is concerned with palliative care and the prevention and treatment of complications (eg. positioning to prevent decubiti and contractures)

48
Q

adult day care

admission is for adults and elders with chronic physical and/or psychosocial impairments and for individuals who are frail but semi-independent

-Services are provided in a congregate or group setting
-Individual schedules will vary
1. Flexibility in scheduling is provided to address daily caregiver needs and allow for planned respite
2. Schedules can range from one afternoon per week to 5 full days

49
Q

needs assessment methods

A

Survey, interview or self-report of target population. A representative sample is required

-Key informant, which involves the surveying of specific individuals who are knowledgeable about the target population needs

-Community forums to obtain information through public meetings or panels

-Service utilization review of records and reports

-Analysis of social indicators to identify social, cultural, environmental, and/or economic factors that can predict problems

50
Q

methods of program evaluation : methods to collect data

A
  • direct observation and/or review of client charts
  • safety checklists, incident reports, and/or client/family complaints
  • surveys of clients, families and/or staff

-review of treatment sessions and missed treatments

  • initial, discharge, and follow-up assessments
  • review of statistics on costs and service volume
51
Q

steps of evidence based practice

A

ASK- Turn a practice issue or problem into an answerable question

ACQUIRE- Systematically search for and retrieve evidence

APPRAISE- Judge the trustworthiness and relevance of the evidence

AGGREGATE: Pull all the evidence together

APPLY: Incorporate the evidence into the decision making process

ASSESS: Evaluate the outcome

52
Q

Levels of Evidence

A

Level 1- systemic review (meta- analysis)

Level 2- Randomized Control Trials

Level 3- Non-randomized controlled cohort

Level 4- Case series, case-control

Level 5- expert opinion

53
Q

Correlation coefficient

A

.7 or higher- high correlation

.3 to .7 - moderate correlation

less than .3- weak correlation

54
Q

inter-rater reliability

A
  • greater than .75- excellent agreement

.40 to .75 - fair or good agreement

less than .40 poor agreement

55
Q

p-value

A

0.05 or lower- significant

0.05 or higher- non-significant, meta-analysis should occur because it allows researchers to examine aggregated studies that may explain contradictory outcomes.

56
Q

null and alternative hypothesis

A
  • If the p-value is lower, the null hypothesis is rejected, and we claim that the result is statistically
    significant and that the alternative hypothesis is true EX. (TMPOT made an impact on student’s
    performance).
  • IF p-value is higher than .05, we
    do not reject the null hypothesis and need to question the significance of TMPOT.
57
Q

standard deviation

A
  • Standard Score of 2 standard deviations (-2) below
    the mean warrants OT services for that specific skill.
    A score needs to be combined with observational
    findings in order to reflect functional deficits.
  • Any score that is above (to the right of -2) does
    not warrant OT services. That is considered a
    minimal delay. You can provide family education
    or give them a checklist to monitor milestones
  • When the score is above the mean (0), the
    performance is considered above average, they
    certainly do not need OT services in that
    performance area.
58
Q

percentile score

A
  • A percentile score of 20 indicates that 20% of people scored at or below the client. And that 80% of people scored higher than them.
59
Q

OTA service competency

A
  • OTA/COTA can expand role by establishing service competency
  • they do not become independent, will continue to work with the OT supervision
60
Q

COTA/OTA role

A
  • primary role is to implement treatment
  • can contribute to eval process
  • can’t independently eval or initiate treatment
  • develop/implement intervention plan under OT supervision
  • monitor/document response to intervention under OT supervision
61
Q

Supervision continuum

A
  • supervision of OTs is RECOMMENDED AND NOT REQUIRED
  • entry-level OTs, intermediate and advance OTAs can supervise level 1 fieldwork students
  • intermediate/advanced OTs can supervise level 1 and 2 fieldwork students
62
