This is a fact sheet from AOTA which discusses OT's role in community mental health. This is an area in which OTs play an important role as mental health services shift from a a hospital based setting to more community based. It has been shown that OT interventions help to improve outcomes for those living in the community with serious mental illnesses. OT's can help to address the areas of education, work skills, health/wellness, and cognitive remediation and adaption. This document also discusses ways in which OT can help to address community barriers to functioning such as SES, stigma, safety, and housing options.

Since I am currently working in a school setting, I decided to look up professionalism in schools. This article mentions teachers but since OT's work in schools as well I think this is a great article to read for OT's. It discusses many current day topics such as etiquette when communication through email, social media communication, as well as avoiding cliques.

This article outlines five steps to achieve professionalism in order to demonstrate that you have respect for your employer, your co-workers, as well as yourself. Oftentimes, individuals can demonstrate professionalism during the interviewing process or when meeting with individuals in higher management. However, professionalism should be practiced on a daily basis. There are various ways to demonstrate professionalism within the workplace, including but not limited to, dressing appropriately, respecting others, and actively engaging in learning experiences. The first step to demonstrating professionalism includes looking the part. First impressions are lasting impressions, and an individual's attire sends a message to others concerning how serious they are about their work. Secondly, a professional should always use proper grammar, regardless of the type of communication. In addition, individuals should seek additional tasks and challenges as a means to show responsibility as well as a desire to succeed and grow within their company. Professionals should show respect toward others in all interactions regardless of whether it is a consumer, co-worker, or upper management. Lastly, part of demonstrating professionalism includes admitting any mistakes or mishaps. A willingness to admit one's mistakes takes courage; however, these individuals are often more cautious employees.

This resource shares 5 simple ways to increase professionalism. These ways include dressing appropriately and having proper hygiene. WHO and the CDC have different guidelines for hygiene so it is important to know and understand the appearance policies for the facility you are interviewing/working for. The use of proper grammar and communication skills in all forms of communication (written or verbal) is essential. It is also important to face challenges head on and to view challenging circumstances as learning opportunities. Always showing respect for others even in times of disagreement will show that you can handle yourself in a professional manner. The final suggestion was to always accept responsibility for mistakes.

Guidelines to the Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics This is a really handy resource that provides a quick glance at the different elements of the Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics. It lists ten sections of professional behaviors under the code of ethics and each have a subset of behaviors which are appropriate under that section. The first professional behavior listed is honesty. "Professionals must be honest with themselves, must be honest with all whom they come in contact with, and must know their strengths and limitations" (AOTA, 2005). The second behavior listed is communication. "Communication is important in all aspects of occupational therapy. Individuals must be conscientious and truthful in all facets of written, verbal, and electronic communication" (AOTA, 2005). The third area of professional behavior is ensuring the common good. "Occupational therapy personnel are expected to increase awareness of the profession's social responsibilities to help ensure the common good" (AOTA, 2005). The fourth professional behavior is competence. "Occupational therapy personnel are expected to work within their areas of competence and to pursue opportunities to update, increase, and expand their competence" (AOTA, 2005). The fifth area of professional behavior is confidential and protected information. "Information that is confidential must remain confidential. This information cannot be shared verbally, electronically, or in writing without appropriate consent. Information must be shared on a need-to-know basis only with those having primary responsibilities for decision making" (AOTA, 2005). The sixth professional behavior area is conflict of interest. "Avoidance of real or perceived conflict of interest is imperative to maintaining the integrity of interactions" (AOTA, 2005). The seventh professional behavior area is impaired practitioner.

This PDF document is the fourth article in a series concerning the steps of how to conduct evidence-based practice. The first three steps include write a clinical question, gather current evidence that might answer the question, and then evaluate the literature to determine what is the best answer in regards to your clinical question. In this article the author discusses the fourth step of how to conduct evidence-based practice, which is communicating the evidence to patients, family members, and other colleagues in regards to how it may impact intervention decisions. In order to effectively communicate to all parties involved the occupational therapist must first conduct an unbiased, comprehensive search to answer the proposed clinical question. The therapist must then be able to interpret the information and articulate it to their patient, their family, and their colleagues in a way that is easy to understand. The author suggests starting broadly and then narrowing down; in other words present the evidence as a whole and then narrow it down to how it can be applied to the patient's case. Above all, it is important to make sure the patient is able to comprehend the information as it is a collaborative work between the therapist and the patient in order to provide the most beneficial treatment.

Occupational Therapy cognitive assessments

shared by jennburwell on 07 Nov 17 - No Cached

jennburwell on 07 Nov 17

Cognitive impairment is under-recognized and misdiagnosed among community-dwelling older adults. At present, there is no consensus about which cognitive screening tool represents the 'gold standard.' However, one tool that shows promise is the Brief Cognitive Assessment Tool (BCAT), which was originally validated in an assisted living sample and contains a multi-level memory component (e.g. word lists and story recall items) and complex executive functions features (e.g. judgment, set-shifting, and problem-solving). 75 community dwelling adults took the assessment and the MoCA with a cut off score of <26. A cut off score for the BCAT was 45 after utilizing the results of the study to balance sensitivity and specificity at .81 and .8 respectively. In addition scores can be separated to interpret BCAT memory and executive dysfunction component scores.
