Subject: [OTlist] Very Neat Information about a VA program
Hello ALL:
I just read this on-line about a VA program in Daytona Beach, FL. I'm
not sure if it's unique to this VA but either way, it is pretty neat:
===================================================================
Low ADL Monitoring Program (LAMP)
An Occupational Therapy Model of Care Coordination
Combining Traditional and Advanced Technologies to Promote Independence
for Veterans with ADL Dependence
Overview
The Low ADL Monitoring Program (LAMP) is a VISN 8 Community Care
Coordination Service (CCCS) program designed to address the needs of
Veterans with activities of daily living (ADL) dependence through care
coordination and the use of home monitoring and communications
technology. The goal of LAMP is to promote independence and the
maintenance of skills necessary to remain living at home, enhance
quality of life, increase access to services, and reduce health related
costs for functionally impaired veterans.
LAMP provides services for home-based veterans who require personal
assistance with at least two basic ADLs (eating, bathing, dressing,
toileting, transferring, and mobility). Veterans enrolled in LAMP
receive a functional and home assessment by an occupational therapist,
basic assistive technology and minor home environmental modifications,
training and education, and referrals for additional services. They also
receive daily remote monitoring via an in-home messaging device or
personalized e-mail dialogue via computer/internet-based communication.
A key aspect of LAMP is care coordination, an interdisciplinary approach
to meeting veterans' needs across the continuum of care. LAMP staff work
collaboratively with primary care providers and clinicians to reduce
complications, hospitalizations, and unscheduled clinic and ER visits.
