week 2 Flashcards
documentation purpose
- record of session
- legal document
- reimbursement
- reflects practitioner’s clinical reason and judgement
- chronological record of client’s status
- justifies need of skilled services
- observation + interpretation= documentation
fundamentals of documentation
- confidential requirements
- client’s full name, date of birth, gender and case number
- type of documentation
- date services
- acceptable terminology, acronyms, and abbreviation are used
- clear rationale for purpose, value and necessity of skilled services
- professional signature (first name or initial, last name) and credential
- all errors are initialed and dated
ethical consideration
- administrator directs an OT document patient as receiving 60 min of therapy; though patient was fatigued tolerating only 45 min
- OT is asked to co-sign notes of an OTA not supervised by them
- OT asked to use treatment code higher than services
- documenting services not provided, using wrong billing codes, or co-signing notes without proper supervision are infractions possibly resulting in legal and professional sanctions
documentation flow and type
- screening
- evaluation
- intervention a.k.a treatment plans
- progress note
- discharge note
medicare guidelines
4 criteria fro reimbursement of services
- medically necessary
- skilled services- safe and effective
- consistent with diagnosis and symptoms
- performed at safe, appropriate and effective level
medicare guidelines: medically necessary
patient’s condition requires skilled, knowledge and judgement of therapist to safely and effectively carry out POC
medicare guidelines: skilled services
- intervention requires skills and competencies
- specific to medical condition
- treatment results in functional improvement
- reduction in safety risks
- prevention of secondary complications
- teaching and training of caregivers
prognostic statement
- best clinical judgement
- establish goals
- establish level of assist
- establishes d/c plan
problem list
- positive prognostic signs
- negative prognostic signs
problem list: positive prognostic signs
- arousal
- orientation
- ability to follow directions
- attention span
- self-expression
- ability to solve problems
- medical stability
- motivation
problem list: negative prognostic signs
- pain
- poor orientation
- inability to attend under maximum structure
- extreme uncooperativeness
- medical instability
- lack of ability
- absent arousal
- lack of intitation
problem statements
- develop problem list
- identify contributing factors
- prioritize outcomes
client requires (assist level) in (occupation) due to (contributing factor)
metacognition
- awareness of their own level of cognition
- conscious awareness of one’s thinking processes and ability to relate to processes in some way
assessing patient’s readiness for behavioral and lifestyle change
transtheoretical model of change
precontemplation
patient not intending to take action
contemplation
patient intending to take action in 6 months (ambivalent)
preparation
patient intending to take action in immediate future
action
patient makes specific behavior changes within last 6 months
enhancing occupational participation through
skill development and strategy generation
teaching-learning process involves
- problem identification
- problem solving
- outcome assessment
stages of learning
- aquisition
- retention
- transfer
- generalization
learning is not merely a cognitive act; nor is it simply physical act of doing
also includes patient’s value and meaning placed upon activities in which they participate
acquistion
new skills and develop strategies for learning with application apply in natural contexts
dreyfus model
- novice
- advanced beginner
- competent
- profiecient
- expert
dreyfus model: novice
concrete steps
dreyfus model: advanced beginner
requires greater attention and intention due to lack of experience
dreyfus model: competent
automatic
acquisiton OT facilitate strategic plans to
problem solve and develop new methods to perform task
learning
retention> transfer> generalization
cerebrovascular accident
CVA or stroke
CVA impacts
brain functioning
CVA last more
than 24 hours or leads to death within 24 hrs
stroke in one hemisphere of the brain often leads to
upper motor neuron dysfunction
hemiparesis
weakness
hemiplegia
paralysis
contralateral side
opposite side of body
CVA & other impairments
- sensory impairment
- cognitive and perceptual impairment
- visual disturbances
- behavioral changes
- difficulty swallowing
- speech and language function impairment
