This article is titled Systematic Review of the Effectiveness of Occupational Therapy-Related Interventions for People With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. This article may be prevalent to us as we have been seeing many patients with a wide range of conditions. I saw a person with ALS during my level I rotation; I questioned the extent and applicability of our services in helping this individual. I feel that this article may provide some insight into this matter and provide some evidence to support the role of occupational therapy in the treatment of ALS.

This article aimed to draw together findings based on the experiences of supervisors and supervisees in the discipline of occupational therapy (Sweeney et al 2001a,b) and to provide recommendations for the future practice of supervision within the profession. Results discussed suggest that supervision as it is currently practiced within OT is not a comfortable experience for either the supervisor or the supervisee; there is evidence that a confusion exists within both parties about the process of supervision and questions the view that supervision is always a helpful process. The article recommends steps that can be adopted by both (supervisors and supervisees) to facilitate the development of a more productive relationship. For example, the use of training, exposure to theories and models of supervision, and the use of agendas, contracts and feedback have shown to be helpful in the improvement.

This is a pdf that explains evidence based practice in general terms and how it applies to occupational therapy. This certainly would provide a good basis for us as we are currently applying what we learned in our coursework to our clinical experiences. In today's healthcare market, there truly is a demand for evidence-based practice to justify reimbursement.

This resource defines evidence-based practice, why it is important within the healthcare arena, and the process of integrating evidence into everyday practice. According to Sackett et al. (1996), evidence-based practice is best defined as "the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients". Individuals often mistake evidence-based practice as utilizing results from studies to guide treatment. However, evidence-based practice is more of an integration between client expertise, best available research evidence, and the patients' preferences and therapy goals. Through the use of evidence-based practice occupational therapy practitioners can better meet the needs of their patients.
