    In 2014 the World Federation of Occupational Therapy (WFOT) published the WFOT Telehealth Position Statement on the use of tele health in occupation therapy.
    The 84 member organizations collaborated to produce a position statement with comments regarding the need for clinical reasoning to determine client access and preference for appropriate selection of tele health service delivery. It describes how therapist should use clinical reasoning based on individual client situation and should not be used to avoid in-person services when indicated by client-specific needs, nor to avoid contact with clients on the basis of discrimination. The types of clinical reasoning utilized by occupational therapist to determine the best use of tele-health to achieve the same standards of care as services delivered in-person would include ethical, conditional, pragmatic, and interactive clinical reasoning.
