  This resource covers OT in acute care using an interesting sandwich analogy that actually makes a ton of sense. The top piece of bread is gathering info through chart review, ensuring that you are as prepared as possible for your evaluation. The meat and cheese are referred to as "the good stuff" which is really whatever service you may be providing. This may be treatment or evaluation in this setting. Assessing the clients current level of function, comparing it to prior level of function, finding out whether they have things like durable medical equipment or family/home health support to help if needed. Finally, the bottom piece of bread is documentation and interprofessional communication. Documentation may play a key role in making sure your client gets the adaptive equipment they need to increase their independence and safety while completing ADLs when they return home. Interprofessional communication is important to update nursing and other staff on client's medical and functional status pre and post intervention.
