The article addressed LACLS' ability to predict medication management through the use of MARS (Medication adherence Rating Scale. All participants reported that did not use medication aids despite evidence of impaired cognition. A strong, positive correlation was found between medication adherence and LACLS for participants that access mental health services in the community. This investigation has provided the first empirical evidence indicating that the LACLS may have utility as a screening instrument for capacity to manage medication adherence among this population. However, the findings are preliminary and should continue to be assessed by future studies to determine the specificity, sensitivity and cut off score for medication adherence.

Polypharmacy and falls in the middle age and elderly population - 0 views

Clinical Reasoning: This article looks at the issue of polypharmacy in middle age and elderly adults. The researchers assessed the prevalence of falls the participants experienced versus the number and type of medications they were taking. They concluded fall risk is associated with polypharmacy, but only when at least one drug had a side effect/increased the risk of falling. I chose this article because the majority of my patients I have seen are on multiple medications and most have a history of falls. For example I had a patient today who came in with multiple falls and dizziness, which the doctors believe is due to the number of medications she is taking and they counteract with one another. I feel from a therapy perspective it is part of our job to tease out whether the falls could be due to multiple medications or if there is another reason for the falls. This is where fall prevention is also very important to ensure their safety.

This article specifically targets occupational therapist within a medical-model based setting in hopes to address ethical issues often seen and debated specifically within a medical rehabilitation facility. The article provides a two-part study revolving around the influences that Occupational Therapist have and can have on the development of policies and ethical practice. The author provides a wide variety of resources and makes a personal conclusion that the current policies and service model within health care generate ethical concerns particularly for rehab therapist and professionals.

Thompson, L., Dawson, K., Ferdig, R., Black, E., Boyer, J., Coutts, J., & Black, N. (2008). The intersection of online social networking with medical professionalism. Journal of General Internal Medicine, 23(7), 954-957. This study examined the frequency and content of online social networking among medical students and residents. The results revealed that 44.5% of the medical trainees in this study had Facebook accounts. Only a third of these accounts were made private. Many of these accounts were publicly accessible, had personally identifiable information, and displayed potentially unprofessional material. The authors conclude that it is important for for students to receive education about the intersection of personal and professional identities. As we begin our professional careers, I think this topic is important for us to keep in mind. There could be ramifications of sharing personal information publicly. We may not be accepted for a job, or we could even be fired if information on our public profiles displays unprofessional behavior. Publicly displaying unprofessional behavior can affect the way we are viewed by our employers and by our clients. I found it surprising that so many of the students in this study had publicly accessible profiles, and I think we should all consider reviewing our profiles, deleting potentially unprofessional content, and making our information private.

This article discusses professionalism in the health care field. It also addresses important qualities that health care workers must strive to develop in today's modern health care society. Medical professionals now have less one on one time with patients, so they must learn to be effective with their time.

The purpose of this clinical reasoning study was to identify frequent clinical reasoning processes of occupational therapists, to compare and contrast clinical reasoning used frequently in medicine. For example, majority of medical clinical reasoning's is related to diagnosis. This article found "diagnosis occupied very little of the therapists' reasoning time. Patients came to therapy with a medical diagnosis, and the therapist's task was to know how that diagnostic condition would influence present and future function". Differences are accounted for by the difference in the particular focus, goals, and tasks of the two professions and the nature of the practice in those arenas. Although occupational therapists work with persons with physical disabilities, the nature and goals of the practice differ from the goals of physicians. It therefore makes sense that therapist's knowledge, interests, and the reasoning strategies would also differ.

Wheelchair Transfer Simulations to Enhance Procedural Skills and Clinical Reasoning - 0 views

This was a study that looked at more effective ways to train students in wheelchair transfers with more dependent patients. Typically, the curriculum allows for transfer practice using other peers. This study occurred in a high-technology laboratory with SimMan technology and mock hospital suite. The SimMan replicates what a dependent transfer patient would be like. The mock hospital suite simulated an acute care setting, complete with medical equipment, vital signs, lines and drains in place. Scenarios were developed for the students with the assistance of practicing occupational therapists. These scenarios included an acutely ill patient, a critical medical management event that occurred during bed-to-wheelchair transfer and occupational need. Students completed 66-88% of transfer items correctly and showed that simulated scenarios were more difficult that practitioners rated them. Student rated this simulation as an effective, more realistic teaching tool. Students attributed this kind of simulation as a positive contribution to curriculum and promoted greater procedural and clinical reasoning skills.

This article, published by AJOT in 1991, provides the reader with some insight into the basis of clinical reasoning, why clinical reasoning is important in one's profession, and how to apply clinical reasoning in one's professional career and an occupational therapy practitioner. This truly is a great article for us to read as we are currently developing clinical reasoning skills as level II fieldwork students.

This document provides a broader definition of clinical reasoning that is associated and expected from occupational therapists. Due to the nature of our profession as being client-centered and a mix of artistic and scientific rationale, OT's are expected to provide clinical reasoning that expands beyond the medical model into a meaning-centered, interpretive model. The reason for this expanded clinical reasoning for OT's is that we are not just looking at an individual in terms of their disability, rather we look at an individual in a holistic manner.

Medical professionalism requires having a thorough understanding of one's profession and striving to provide the highest quality of care. The ethical foundation that health care is based on is now at extreme risk in the United States. Health care professionals are often overworked and must meet unrealistic productivity standards. These changing conditions are making it difficult for workers to provide client's with the best care possible and we must find an appropriate mix of cost efficiency and quality of care.
