This article was interesting to read through because I had never given much thought to the possibility of getting sued because of malpractice or injury to the client. This article gives a good overview of the law of professional malpractice, explains the various employment relationships on liability risks, reviews specific malpractice actions against OTs, and talks about how to reduce the risk of injuries to a client while in practice.

This article talks about the different deficits that cancer survivors can have and how OT can help to improve them so that the survivor can increase their independence. The reasons why OT can help so much in this practice setting is because we perform client-centered evaluations to know each person's unique needs and because we have such a wide array of approaches to treat the clients so that they are getting teh individualized care they need to help improve their QOL.

This article discusses the importance of OT services for those dealing with cancer. Those with cancer often face a functional decline which can lead to increased hospitalization, decreased tolerance for treatment, and increased overall health costs. Some areas we are very useful in when it comes to adults with cancer include: helping prevent falls, dealing with cognitive impairment, decreasing cancer-related fatigue, maintaining UE function, decreasing lymphadema, and can develop adaptations that deal with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.

This article talks about how outpatient OTs can sometimes have a difficult time moving away from a biomechanical FOR and using a more client-centered model like occupational adaptation. The author mentions that in order to incorporate more of those client-centered approaches, OTs must remember the importance of using occupation-based interventions, the unique contribution OT brings to rehabilitation, and, how OT is different from other health professions. The lateral epicondylitis just happens to be a case study in this article to provide an example of how this can be applied.

this article discusses how OTs could be a successful and cost-effective member of a primary care (PC) team. If more OTs were part of PC it would allow physicians to off-load patients onto OT whose issues relate more to habits and routine versus those who need diagnostic of prescriptive interventions. Also, since OT services are reimbursable, it further proves how good of a fit OT would be with PC.

This article explains what we should do as OTs to help OT play more of a role when it comes to treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. The first thing is to better understand our distinct value in this population. The second is to advocate our profession to be more involved with these conditions. Finally, we have to build our capacities to work with conditions by implementing as much EBP as we can.

This is an interesting article that discusses the difference in competencies when comparing community based OT to institutional based OT. Some of the unique competencies that seem to occur more in these types of settings include: self-direction, adaptability to new situations, ability to step out of the medical model, confidence, and perseverance (which was ranked highest out of those listed). This study also talks about how their education prepared them for traditional settings (nursing homes, hospitals, etc), but did not prepare them well for community based settings.

This is a useful website for anyone planning to go into a neurocognitive or school type of setting. This is a good certification to get because it allows you to get a baseline for athletes to be used if a concussion is sustained to see if they need to recover. It can also be used with those with a TBI to get their baseline scores during an initial evaluation so you can check their progress further along in their treatment.

This article looks at the different types of interventions (occupation and activity-based) that can be used with those with a TBI. The different types of interventions they mention include: multidisciplinary/interdisciplinary, community based, making sure they are client-centered, and community mobility. We actually used all of these types of intervention while I was at NeuroRestorative. It was nice to see that what we were doing had evidence to back it up.

This systematic review looks at the different interventions that can be used for visual deficits in those with a TBI. I choose this article because I dealt with this a lot in my 2nd placement and was curious if we were doing the same things. It turns out that we were doing all of this intervention ideas. This article discusses using scanning techniques, adaptive strategies (prisms, scrolling text), referral to vision therapy, and cognitive interventions (i.e. increasing attention, etc). Th strongest support was for scanning techniques and that was what we were using most often, especially when we were out in the community.

I choose to read this article because I was interested in the viewpoints between medicine and OT when it comes to clinical reasoning. The article mentions how medicine is very sequential with their reasoning in that it is step-by-step where as OT's clinical reasoning is more continuous in that we are constantly evaluating what we are doing to determine if progress is being made. It also mentions how OT uses a variety of reasoning methods instead of just a singular method. OT may start with hypothetical reasoning to address medical issues but then switch to a propositionnal style to address psychological, social. or interpersonal aspects.

This brief article discusses the importance of fieldwork for both the student and teh educator. Student get to apply the principles they have learned, address actual client's needs, develop competency/confidence, and many more things. The educator gets exposed to current practice trends, EBP, and other research that can benefit their own practice. Fieldwork can also serve as an inodepth interview that has the possibilities to lead to a first job for the student at their placement.

This systematic review looks at the different kinds of interventions that address cognitive impairments in those with a TBI. The interventions they find the most results for include cognitive impairments such as deficits with executive functioning, attention, self-awareness, and memory. A multitude of interventions were found to be useful in this population to ensure the clients are safe, gain maximal independence, and achieve a higher life satisfaction.

This systematic review summarizes intervention strategies that were used in high level research projects. The main interventions they found were using exercise programs and computer based interventions (Wii, VR, etc...). The article goes on to explain more about the importance of a wide variety of interventions to promote motor function.

https://www.medbridgeeducation.com/ This is a link to an awesome website that I used on both FW settings. On this website you can create HEPs, print out patient education sheets, get CEUs in many different categories, watch webinars, and even work on getting certified in different areas. This website does cost a good bit, but all of the different services it provides greatly outweigh the cost. (Plus you can ask your setting to pay for it because it can be cheaper than asking for them to pay for multiple CUE courses.)
