Using Evidence to Promote the Distinct Value of Occupational Therapy - 1 views

  •  
    In this article, Arbesman, Lieberman, and Metzler discuss the importance of best practice through evidence in clinical decision making. The authors define the framework of EBP as requiring integration of information from clinical experience and reasoning, preferences of clients and their families, and findings of best available research. Also discussed in this article are AOTA Practice Guidelines, Critically Appraised Topics, interventions for health through living independently, and interventions for chronic care management.
  •  
    This is an AJOT article, published in 2014, that discusses how OT practitioners should use evidence/research in order to promote the value of the profession of occupational therapy. The article discusses evidence-based practice and how it is emerging to become the norm of all major healthcare professions, including OT.
  •  
    This article highlights the fact that it is the responsibility of occupational therapy practitioners to provide treatment that has sound evidence to support its use within the clinical setting. With continuous health care reforms, there is a great push for occupational therapist to utilize evidence-based practice when working with patients. In fact, the utilization of evidence in practice produces definable outcomes measures that will soon affect payment for services. By providing evidence-based services, occupational therapists are providing interventions that are both effective and cost-effective and reimbursable.

The Ethics of Care vs. Ethics of Competition - 0 views

  •  
    I found this blog posting by Charlotte Kruse to be very interesting. Although she is speaking about ethics in educating students, I feel that her thoughts are comparable to what we will focus on as a clinician. Kruse discussed how ethics of competition not only pushes students to be the best they can be but it also allows students to learn the importance of team work because if they don't add essential information needed to the team then they will not be looked at as an asset. Similar to us as clinicians, we are pushed by our professors, clinical instructors, and hopefully one day students to be the best we can be and we have to effectively work with the various individuals in the healthcare profession to provide our patients with the best care possible. When working with the other professionals we have to provide essential information regarding the client in order to be an asset for the plan of care as well as advocate for the patient.
