Hi, I'm a lecturer in OT in England (UK) relatively new to the list. To me that sounds a pretty terrible way for an OT to have to work. Not least because as an OT you should be working from the point of view of the future functioning of your client - so it's a unique perspective based on the the *client's* goals. Of course within that you could have objectives like 'improve concentration' but you must consider for what aspect of the client's life?
Sigh - is OT in the USA really so prescriptive??? Also, there is a difference between goals (client focused) and recommendations (therapist generated) the latter being recommending someone should not return home based on a safety assessment. Hope that helps Rayya Rayya Ghul Canterbury Christ Church University College On Tue, 26 Mar 2002 21:48:40 -0500 Suzanne Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > <html><div style='background-color:'>The facility I work for just developed new eval forms for acute and SNF, including a prefabricated check off list of goals. Our boss let two OTs who are new to SNF and acute do this because the "write the same goals for everybody anyway". This is the second facility I have seen do this. I am the only one who believes that this is so incredibly unclient centered. Does anybody have experiece with forms like this? Would JACHO approve of this? I think this is taking the skill out of what we do. Please tell me I am not the only OT who LIKES to write individualized goals!! > <DIV></DIV> > <BLOCKQUOTE> </BLOCKQUOTE></div><br clear=all><hr>MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: <a href='http://g.msn.com/1HM305401/15'>Click Here</a><br></html> > > *********��*********** > > Unsubscribe?
