occupational therapy driving ethics consensus

OTs are required ethically, legally, and professionally to evaluate deficits and meet the needs of their clients related to driving. It is the ethical responsibility of OTs to use current and accurate evaluation tools for data collection, and to work within our level of competence/expertise. We must strive to avoid harm; Driving may be a meaningful occupation, but it may cause heightened risk of harm for patients and the public. Identification of deficits that may effect safe driving obligates OTs to warn the patient and report their findings. In these cases, confidentiality is superseded by legal and ethical obligations.

Occupational therapy Evidence based practice TBI

shared by keriboyce on 02 Aug 16 - No Cached

keriboyce on 02 Aug 16

This article discusses TBI as a widely variable diagnosis in terms of demographics, presentation, deficits, and interventions provided. The research base for TBI is broad ranging from epidemiological studies to qualitative studies. The author of this article believes that we can do more to help our patients than the evidence can ever support. She believes that OT needs to move from the evidence-based philosophy to the evidence-informed practice to best integrate OT clinical expertise and research findings and to best serve clients with TBI.

Ethical Issues Around Payment for Services - 0 views

This article, found on AOTA's website, discussed an ethical issue that we, as practitioners, will face that I hadn't really thought about. As therapists we will be faced with the issue of treating two individuals who have the same diagnosis and prognosis, but have different insurances! One individual will more than likely get more minutes and resources based on their insurance compared to the other. This is definitely an ethical dilemma I hadn't thought about.

This article, written by the American Occupational Therapy Association, outlines various ethical issues concerning payment for services occupational therapy practitioners may face. For instance, occupational therapy practitioners may encounter situations where two individuals have the same diagnosis but are entitled by differing insurance plans to varying levels of services at different levels of reimbursement. Sadly, differences in insurance plans can pose inevitable differences in patients' care. I have been able to witness this scenario first hand, as some insurance companies will only pay a flat rate for 30 minutes of occupational therapy services for a skilled patient versus another insurance company allowing a patient to receive ninety minutes of skilled occupational therapy services per day, when both patients have the same diagnosis and deficits. It stands to reason that individuals who are able to receive more intensive services will receive a higher level of care as more time can be devoted to addressing deficits. All of the issues presented in this document can pose potential ethical dilemmas for occupational therapy practitioners; however, utilizing the AOTA Code of Ethics can enable practitioners to make effective, ethical decisions in the best interest of their patients.

Evidence suggests that developmental coordination disorder (DCD) co-occurs with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS). Pediatric occupational therapists working with children with DCD need to consider the impact of co-occurring conditions on the children they assess and treat. A survey investigating the knowledge base and understanding relating to these conditions was conducted. The results showed that therapists (n = 225, response rate 23%) have an understanding of DCD; however, a more detailed knowledge of ADHD and JHS would allow them to consider the impact of the overlapping nature of these conditions. This highlights a training need to ensure understanding of these conditions and appropriate management.

This article discusses the two most used cognitive assessment tools and how they help in predicting therapy outcome measures. I did my inservice presentation on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and the Mini-mental state exam and how the OTs at Grant can use one or the other using clinical judgement as a standardized cognitive assessment with mild TBI, stroke and other patients who present with neuro deficits. The MOCA has been proven to help in identifying mild cognitive deficits that the MMSE is unable to identify.

This purpose of this review was to identify interventions used for UE restoration after tetraplegia and what evidence was available to support the use/effectiveness of these interventions. The review found there there is not much evidence based research supporting the use of splints to increase UE restoration. However, there is good research backing up the prescription of electrical stimulation therapies and upper limb surgical interventions therapy individuals based on their specific phase of recovery and functional deficit.

Drivers with ADHD, Autism or both diagnosis are at a higher risk for accidents due to right-eye visual acuity, selective attention, visual-motor integration, cognition, and motor performance. This study found that they made more errors on the driving simulator pertaining to visual scanning, speed regulation, lane maintenance, adjustment to stimuli, and total number of driving errors. This article mentions that because of this, kids with ADHD/Autism or both need a driving specialist prior to getting behind the wheel.
