@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life If it’s for evidence based purposes, the answer is yes in my book. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:04:51 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life yes lol how else do we know if what we do is actually being effective? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:05:02 +0000)
@DebbiiHarrison	@OTalk_Occhat @symbolic_life Good evening fellow OTs I’ll be following #occhat tonight but will prob be sitting quietly in the corner(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:05:41 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life it’s 6am! Lol #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:05:44 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@BillWongOT what about for practical purposes? proving the worth of the profession? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:06:00 +0000)
@clissa89	Hi everyone, sorry I won’t be joining #occhat tonight but I need some restoration to balance my day(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:06:13 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@Keeper85 My thoughts exactly #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:06:26 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	RT @Keeper85 : @Symbolic_Life yes lol how else do we know if what we do is actually being effective? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:06:31 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life we still do in some instances because we’ve to at least prove that we are as good, if not better than alternatives. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:07:48 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life if we don’t know how we’re going we then can’t review and improve our practice. OM are Objective reflections lol #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:07:48 +0000)
@cgenter	#occhat maybe another question is what constituents useful outcome measures? i.e. client satisfaction, their performance or something else?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:09:03 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Symbolic_Life I think that we need them for clients too. #occhat To help them see the changes (sometimes they may struggle to do this)(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:09:13 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@Keeper85 So do u think our outcome measures improve our individual skills as well as the profession’s acknowledgment of practice? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:09:40 +0000)
@Keeper85	@BillWongOT @Symbolic_Life formal/informal it doesn’t matter but we need to complete that feedback loop for our interventions #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:09:47 +0000)
@cgenter	#occhat oops meant constitutes not constituents!(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:09:53 +0000)
@OTalk_Occhat	? @Symbolic_Life : 2. So why are Outcome Measures important?? #occhat (Don’t forget the hashtag tweeps)(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:10:08 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	RT @cgenter : #occhat maybe another question is what constituents useful outcome measures? i.e. client satisfaction, their performance or something else?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:10:21 +0000)

@BillWongOT	@cgenter quality of life, FIM scores, etc. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:10:51 +0000)
@cgenter	#occhat OM important as part of intervention, demonstrating client progress to them?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:10:56 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life I don’t think OMs on their own do anything but a clinician willing to change/improve based on feedback will do lots #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:11:07 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@OTalk_Occhat @Symbolic_Life For some instances, clients & caregivers can see progress. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:11:23 +0000)
@kirstyes	@cgenter good question Chris. Good to see you. What about if we can prove reduced length of stay. Not occupational but??? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:11:52 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@Keeper85 @BillWongOT what about the clients perspective as @kirstyes suggested? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:11:54 +0000)
@cgenter	@BillWongOT #occhat yes lots of different ways, I think could be summed up by Doble and Caron Santha idea of occupational well-being?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:11:54 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@OTalk_Occhat @Symbolic_Life and more importantly, we need that to show this to get reimbursed. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:12:17 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life @BillWongOT @kirstyes the most important We can see All the progress in the world…useless unless the ct sees it too #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:13:12 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@BillWongOT @OTalk_Occhat Do u think this supports your practice bill? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:13:12 +0000)
@cgenter	@kirstyes #occhat thanks, nice to find time to be back. that would be popular in UK health service, would depend if it was client goal too?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:13:29 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @cgenter FIM = functional independence measure. It’s a quantitative measure of independence. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:13:54 +0000)
@rootsvoices	@Symbolic_Life outcome measures can’t be meaningfully applied to human experience – if research necessary it needs to be qualitative #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:13:56 +0000)
@OTalk_Occhat	@EmmJacq great to have you here. If you do join in, want to ask a question etc don’t forget the #occhat so people who don’t follow u can see(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:14:02 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life @kirstyes I tend to use outcomes that are done with the client so they can see and an objective one as well #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:14:32 +0000)
@DebbiiHarrison	@Keeper85 @symbolic_life @billwongot @kirstyes agree with this, we need OM to support our profession but must be relevant to client #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:14:47 +0000)
@Helen_otuk	Good evening #occhat , just catching up.(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:14:51 +0000)
@cgenter	@rootsvoices #occhat wholeheartedly agree with that, think OM can be bit more interesting to management than anyone else?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:15:08 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @OTalk_Occhat good question- it does cuz clients & families can see small & big changes functionally usually. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:15:18 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@Keeper85 @BillWongOT @kirstyes So are you suggesting unless the client recognizes this change to it isnt benefical? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:15:28 +0000)
@EmmJacq	@OTalk_Occhat Oops! yes, will remember the #occhat , thanks(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:15:38 +0000)
@Keeper85	@cgenter @rootsvoices not if its done right 🙂 it’s about self improvement too #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:16:13 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	Question 3. What outcome measures do you use with your clients And why? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:17:04 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life @BillWongOT @kirstyes horses for courses. I use multiple outcome measures for different purposes 1 for ct, 1 for mgt #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:17:23 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@cgenter @rootsvoices Why do you think this Chris? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:17:37 +0000)
@cgenter	@Keeper85 #occhat I suppose a concern could be what are outcome measures used for then? whose agenda is setting them?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:17:42 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life back in the day, I was given the COPM. Now no outcome measures… #strange #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:18:14 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Keeper85 @Symbolic_Life @kirstyes and same with peds assessments, too. Dependent on age & area(s) 2 b assessed, for ex. #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:19:01 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life I use a lot of solution focused practice with clients where they use progress to preferred future as an OM #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:19:02 +0000)
@cgenter	@Symbolic_Life #occhat as previous answer, about what the agenda for having outcome measures, and whether they are suitable?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:19:06 +0000)
@DrWMB	#occhat hello just joining: intrigued by impact of adding “measures” to outcomes – does it force particular ways of thinking?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:19:13 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life I use AusTOMs for my own clinical effectiveness #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:19:48 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@Keeper85 Intresting.. How do u think this associates with our philosophy? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:20:17 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life and my organisation uses the HONOS for mgt facts and figures #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:20:18 +0000)

@Symbolic_Life	@cgenter I agree? Some services assume they are for ex doin a MOHOST with every client.does this directly link to client need? #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:21:29 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	RT @DrWMB : #occhat hello just joining: intrigued by impact of adding “measures” to outcomes – does it force particular ways of thinking?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:21:45 +0000)

@cgenter	#occhat perhaps depends who decides what are the significant outcomes? maybe need compromise between service and client expectations?(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:22:46 +0000)
@Helen_otuk	In my adaptations work we have 2 pronged view. Client’s perspective then we also have to do the financial impact for the ‘man stats’ #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:22:50 +0000)
@DrWMB	@cgenter @symbolic_life #occhat as an audiology service user I’m pleased if my hearing tests don’t get worse but that’s not the whole story(Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:23:38 +0000)
@Keeper85	@Symbolic_Life the HONOS is used for that service wide yea #occhat (Tue, 26 Mar 2013 20:23:50 +0000)

@kirstyes	#occhat 2/2 for one that was smoking and for another being able to cut her own gauze to manage a colostomy. Linked to occupational goals.(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:07:09 +0000)

@AnnabelFenn	good occupational practice I’ve seen on placements has had facilitation of client’s choice of #meaningful #occupation at core #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:07:43 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes if it’s me- I would say a session I had on how I socialize w/ ppl at OT conference my favorite. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:08:01 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT great. Nice, specific and so related to real daily life. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:09:00 +0000)

@kirstyes	@OTalk_Occhat @richardsblister Ditto what she said ;0) #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:10:06 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes yes… that session we talked about skills I need to perform the occupation and set some manageable goals afterwards. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:10:14 +0000)
@pd2ot	Just watching #occhat tonight. Great topic, I’m just a bit tired for full participation.(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:10:37 +0000)

@AnnabelFenn	@kirstyes agree that occupational goal-setting and interventions key to good practice. Linked to understanding strengths and needs #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:10:46 +0000)
@Helen_otuk	Examples from my practice include, supporting individuals to access appropriate housing that facilities family life. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:11:06 +0000)

@kirstyes	@Symbolic_Life Really like this strengths based approach to interventions. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:11:52 +0000)
@OTalk_Occhat	#occhat MT @Richardsblister : Veterans fairly high functioning so lots of interventions surrounding self esteem & confidence, comm & Interact(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:12:17 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Helen_otuk I suspect a lot of that is by justifying the adaptations etc in engagement terms. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:12:48 +0000)
@gilliancrossley	@kirstyes #occhat I like to see choice of occupation 4 client rehab. I often need 2 learn about an occupation 2 support participation.(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:12:48 +0000)

@kirstyes	Do you tend to use occupation as means or ends more (or equal). Can you give an example of each? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:15:21 +0000)
@gilliancrossley	@kirstyes it can mean, researching – online, talking, telephone. I need to know what something involves in order to activity analyse #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:15:38 +0000)
@Richardsblister	Hello all, on a tweet chat – is this clearer for all? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:15:45 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@BillWongOT @kirstyes it was rather interesting the positive impact to new occupations and there previous challenging behaviour. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:16:24 +0000)
@kirstyes	@gilliancrossley we had this very discussion in class today ;0) #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:16:27 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes The OT conference example I gave probably was an occupation as means #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:16:39 +0000)
@Helen_otuk	@kirstyes for adaptation work yes, but also work with individuals to look at rehousing, or moving out of parents home etc. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:16:44 +0000)

@gilliancrossley	@kirstyes oh really! I think its important not to limit yourself to the occupations you already know #NeverStopLearning #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:17:21 +0000)
@kirstyes	? @clissa89 : @kirstyes link to article by gray re occupation as means and ends http://t.co/OxOcu3LDGT #occhat ? Thanks Clarissa.(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:17:29 +0000)

@BillWongOT	@kirstyes occupations as ends probably can be as simple as regaining range to be able to turn a key to drive a car. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:17:29 +0000)
@Georgia_Fair	MOHOST starkly showed up communication difficulties and was great evidence to contribute to diagnosis 2/2 #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:18:23 +0000)
@gilliancrossley	@Richardsblister Nice to meet you. I bet your role is very interesting! Is it a very occupation focused role? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:18:26 +0000)
@Richardsblister	the basis of our interventions with veterans with ptsd are based on good old fashioned creativity, based on reducing cortisol #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:18:30 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT But how would you help a client regain range? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:18:39 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	I am all about occupation cant say that for all settings i have encountered i tend to highlight the transferable skill to the client #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:18:54 +0000)
@AnnabelFenn	@clissa89 @kirstyes I’ve facilitated creative groups using occupation as a means for personal capacity development #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:19:14 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT Was that not ends because the intervention became the end outcome? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:19:30 +0000)
@kirstyes	@AnnabelFenn @clissa89 what are some of the challenges with this do you think? And the positives? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:20:05 +0000)
@gilliancrossley	@kirstyes I have been thinking about ends and means.. I think of it as activity analysis. when we take an activity/ occupation #occhat 1/2(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:20:40 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes in that setting, that will be through therapy as well as home programs, I believe. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:20:55 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes it was a means because the overall goal at the time was to improve my social skills. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:21:22 +0000)
@AnnabelFenn	@kirstyes @clissa89 challenges included complexity of occupation and evidencing meaningful outcomes #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:21:22 +0000)
@pd2ot	@OTalk_Occhat #occhat I think this post covers interventions that helped me.. http://t.co/hoMZVN7dj4 (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:21:22 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Richardsblister how do you ensure intervention is meaningful? Is it group or individual sessions or a mix? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:22:01 +0000)
@gilliancrossley	@kirstyes 2/2 #occhat and put in its component parts. is each part an occupation or a building block.each 2b mastered 2build and occupation?(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:22:12 +0000)
@OTalk_Occhat	@pd2ot thanks for hunting that out 🙂 #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:22:23 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@kirstyes it is a mix to be honest – such as mind gym group, healthy living group and then individual tailored interventions #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:23:32 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	#occhat struggling to keep up with occ chat tonight… My brain hurts ;-)(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:23:52 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT what do you mean by through therapy and home programs? Can you be specific? What would the client do. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:24:04 +0000)
@clissa89	@Symbolic_Life I think a few of us are in the same boat tonight 🙂 remember, you can add comments tomorrow too #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:24:31 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT so was it less about the specific situation and working on transferable skills? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:24:48 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT maybe in your case it was as ends and means. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:25:12 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@kirstyes for example i have a client using photography to get in touch with his emotions, another drawing cartoons for his daughter #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:25:13 +0000)
@kirstyes	RT @AnnabelFenn : @kirstyes @clissa89 challenges included complexity of occupation and evidencing meaningful outcomes #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:25:21 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes therapy in that setting were massage and PAMs. Home program can be exercises/stretches. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:25:37 +0000)
@kirstyes	@AnnabelFenn @clissa89 ah something to talk about next time in our occupational outcome measures chat ;0) #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:25:52 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes that’s right. At that time, my frequency of initiating conversations was very low. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:26:14 +0000)
@Helen_otuk	I challenge myself and constantly query ‘where is the occupation’ in what I do? often I feel occupation is the ends to my work. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:26:30 +0000)
@SarahDobby77094	#occhat thankyou for sharing pd2ot, all the best for the rest of your ot journey(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:26:48 +0000)
@AnnabelFenn	@kirstyes @clissa89 ohhh sounds meaty! #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:27:25 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Richardsblister Those sound great!! #occhat Whatdoes a mind gym session look like? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:27:34 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@Helen_otuk go back to our roots. occupation is something that is meaningful to us as opposed to a task #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:27:52 +0000)
@Georgia_Fair	I often work with people where an occupation is the end goal, they are deprived of occupations. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:28:14 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT But are these occupational interventions? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:28:24 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@kirstyes we teach the basics of what goes wrong with STM when you have PTSD and how this has an impact on fx. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:28:37 +0000)
@gilliancrossley	@Helen_otuk me to. I think Its important to be mindful about occupation. I think in some settings it can be easy to let it slip #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:28:43 +0000)
@CharOTReilly	@Georgia_Fair iv experienced that too #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:29:16 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@kirstyes we have characters called Amy G Dala, Camp Hippo and the boss cortex to describe..then we give info on now to improve #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:29:45 +0000)

@kirstyes	@Georgia_Fair So how do you enable that end? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:30:16 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes therapy- it’s arguable. But home program can be if it is related to the person’s interests, I think. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:30:27 +0000)
@BillWongOT	RT @clissa89 : @kirstyes link to article by gray re occupation as means and ends http://t.co/rFT9MFbu7c #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:31:08 +0000)

@kirstyes	@pd2ot I remember reading that. Very useful. Will have a re-read at the end. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:32:33 +0000)

@kirstyes	@BillWongOT Yes def, if the ‘exercise’ can be doing an occupation that encourages that movement. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:33:52 +0000)
@MissHeldi	#occhat @kirstyes Occupation- AND person-centered. Plus not doing activities for the sake of doing them but with actual purpose and meaning.(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:34:20 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @kirstyes but if it’s with a client with #autism , it is something that the client can work w/ some1 close to him/her #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:34:40 +0000)

@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @kirstyes an example of that could be small talk… where a family member/close friend can provide some feedback. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:35:39 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Georgia_Fair using occ as means then? #occhat Do you look at general relaxation and specific ‘on the spot’ relaxation strategies? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:35:49 +0000)

@kirstyes	@Richardsblister Have you thought of making some You Tube videos? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:37:55 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @kirstyes yes/no- if the client has desires to make more friends, then that’s an occupational goal, right? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:38:22 +0000)

@kirstyes	@BillWongOT @symbolic_life Yup, I’d say so. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:39:01 +0000)
@Helen_otuk	2/2 occupational goals of the individual can ensure we make changes appropriate to the person. Not just an ‘accessible property’ #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:39:15 +0000)

@Symbolic_Life	@kirstyes @billwongot I agree… It’s using these tools as a means of occupational goal.. Core to OT and client centred approach.. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:40:01 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Georgia_Fair Thanks. #occhat is this daily relax one type or do people get to explore different types to see what works best for them? 1/2(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:40:14 +0000)

@BillWongOT	@Symbolic_Life @kirstyes I recalled my OT gave me a sheet with tips to doing small talk. She went over it with me. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:41:11 +0000)
@Georgia_Fair	@kirstyes I use person centred thinking tools to identify good day/bad day and factors of each to help plan a successful activity #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:41:14 +0000)

@Georgia_Fair	@kirstyes I use PMR and visualisation and get people to feedback. Visualisation too abstract for some people with LD #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:42:32 +0000)
@Richardsblister	on subject of relax, our veterans have a range, including mindfulness #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:42:33 +0000)
@OTalk_Occhat	@charl885 glad you could join us 🙂 we’re talking about occupational interventions #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:43:07 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Georgia_Fair I’m not familiar with what you mean by person centred thinking tools.Can you share reference/link? #occhat Sounds interesting(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:44:00 +0000)

@AnnabelFenn	@charl885 care to share an example of good practice re: occ interventions you’ve seen/done? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:46:01 +0000)
@kirstyes	#occhat ooh need to chuck my controversial question out before time’s up. Do occupational interventions have to be provided by OTs? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:46:05 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Georgia_Fair fabulous. Thank you. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:46:26 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@kirstyes YES! To involve all concept and a holistic approach!!! #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:46:54 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@kirstyes I think OT interventions are done already by mdt, however, OT’s should make it known that we do it better :oP #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:47:25 +0000)

@Symbolic_Life	@kirstyes ooo that question makes my head explode! 😉 #occhat #OTJUSTICE (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:48:14 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes It depends on setting- I think it is generally yes… otherwise we can’t separate ourselves from other disciplines. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:48:15 +0000)
@AnnabelFenn	@Symbolic_Life @kirstyes agreed – although technical instructors/OTAs play important role too. Is it a case of clinical reasoning? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:48:40 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@Richardsblister @kirstyes That is summed up very nicely! #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:49:01 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Symbolic_Life But what if there is a really good community group running that has no OT involvement? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:49:24 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@AnnabelFenn yes, we have recovery workers who do graded practise, if just left to us we could not cope with demand #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:49:33 +0000)
@kirstyes	@AnnabelFenn @symbolic_life Good point. Pragmatically we don’t have time to do everything hands on ourselves. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:49:55 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@AnnabelFenn @kirstyes We should assess set up inter’s which can be supported by others..But we should evaluate relative to occ goal #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:50:08 +0000)

@kirstyes	@Richardsblister I’ve seen that ;0) OTs do it better!! #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:50:23 +0000)
@Helen_otuk	@kirstyes I would say no, we have reablement workers who do the doing… after OT sets the goals with the individual. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:50:50 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes @Symbolic_Life one example I often see in my community of such are tai-chi groups at the park. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:50:55 +0000)
@Richardsblister	@kirstyes something I face every day – other mdt doing OT stuff – but I just politely show them the correct way….(grin) #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:51:33 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Symbolic_Life @annabelfenn So maybe assessment &evaluation but intervention may not be purely ours?? Depends on need for grading?? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:51:51 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@charl885 @AnnabelFenn If it’s me, I may provide a caregiver/client my email if he/she have more questions about what I am doing. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:51:58 +0000)

@zzzoooman	@kirstyes #occhat . I Don’t think it does, however to understand the best impact and outcome you need to understand the philosophy. (1/2)(Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:52:42 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@charl885 @AnnabelFenn I know that in peds settings, you might not have time to explain everything. Phone #/email can help. #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:52:44 +0000)
@charl885	@kirstyes I would say yes, as our training focuses around this like no other profession. Others are perhaps more client-centred? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:53:03 +0000)
@Symbolic_Life	@kirstyes @annabelfenn agree.. although assessment is reviewed throughout… So maintenance of graded support? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:53:07 +0000)
@kirstyes	@Richardsblister I wonder though that if we truly want occupation 2take over the world that we should encourage adoption by others? #occhat (Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:53:38 +0000)

OTalk

Grabchat for #OTalk Apps in Practice

December 12, 2012 kirstyes

We had a great discussion about using apps in OT practice last night- so many great resources were shared and great ideas for outcomes measurement, and for areas of practice to use apps in.

Our #OTalk Community

It was also great to see so many first-time #OTalkers- we really want to make you feel welcome and supported to make the leap into contributing, so it’s great every time we see a new face! It was also good to see our impact beyond the professional boundary of OT, with other HCP and Social Care professionals, developers and technical experts joining in the chat. Thanks to everyone for a stimulating and engaging chat!

Ideas for future chats

People who participated asked to repeat the topic, and @BillWongOT suggested looking at apps for different age groups- I think this is a good idea so we will plan to re-run a chat about apps in practice in the New Year. Bill has also promised to host a chat about Pinterest, as we know lots of you want some help before you start Pinning!

Storify of chat

I gave in to demand (!) and created a Storify of some of the chat as well as the grabchat. You can find the Storify here: http://storify.com/claireOT2/apps-for-use-in-ot-practice-otalk-11th-december-20#publicize

@kirstyes	#occhat Evening all. Who’s here?(Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:00:22 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes hello! #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:01:13 +0000)
@kirstyes	Let’s get right on it. First question tonight is have you noticed any changes in your time use due to digital technology? #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:03:12 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes I would say I spent more time on it for sure… big difference from high school days and now. #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:04:51 +0000)
@kirstyes	@MissHeldi Hi, wondered why you’d considered tonight’s topic so relevant. Care to share what clicked with you #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:05:00 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT What would be the main reasons for that (spending more time on it) do you think? #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:06:14 +0000)
@elaamleung	@kirstyes #occhat hello! interesting Q & yes. i used to write lots of letters 2 frds when small. now just facebook. stil kept all letters :)(Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:06:27 +0000)
@OTalk_Occhat	Looking forward to #Occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:06:44 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes 1. stress (since what I had in high school is way less than now) 2. the fact that #OT is not second nature to me #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:07:29 +0000)
@kirstyes	@elaamleung Great reply. I’ve kept all my letter too. Do you miss writing letters/look back through Facebook at all? #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:07:52 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes 3. desire to be connected with friends more #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:08:22 +0000)
@gilliancrossley	@kirstyes I spend a lot of time on it.. but feel it makes occ balance more accessible for me #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:08:29 +0000)
@DoAbility	RT @otalk_occhat : Looking forward to #Occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:08:44 +0000)
@kirstyes	@BillWongOT You mentioned stress, so do you feel it helps with or increases stress, or both? #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:09:13 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes @elaamleung that’s interesting. All I could remember were what people wrote on my senior yearbook before I had Facebook. #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:09:17 +0000)

@kirstyes	@gilliancrossley How do you feel it helps your occupational balance? #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:10:05 +0000)
@fullyOccupied	#occhat hi all – one example is the competition for my time tonight – want to be here, but also other things to do! #wheresmybalance (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:10:48 +0000)
@kirstyes	#occhat I’ll throw that open to everyone. In what ways does digital technology support your occupational balance? #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:11:12 +0000)
@AnnabelFenn	Often I use it to try and be productive, but then it becomes a leisure pursuit #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:11:13 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes I think both… cuz sometimes u have pressure to respond ASAP. But, sometimes talking to peers can help ease stress. #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:11:19 +0000)
@gilliancrossley	@kirstyes Because it make socialising accessible when I am busy and pushed for time. #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:11:20 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@kirstyes cuz I remember at least I don’t have pressure to respond to people ASAP in high school, but now is different. #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:11:56 +0000)
@kirstyes	? @AnnabelFenn : Often I use it to try and be productive, but then it becomes a leisure pursuit #occhat ? and takes away from productivity?(Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:12:18 +0000)

@allisulli	@kirstyes haha. My bad. Cultural sensitivity is dismal at times. The world doesn’t revolve around EST you mean?! Haha #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:13:03 +0000)
@gilliancrossley	@BillWongOT @kirstyes I feel that pressure too! thats why I turned notifications off! I respond when I have the time #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:13:05 +0000)
@BillWongOT	@gilliancrossley @kirstyes and not to mention multi-tasking. #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:13:13 +0000)
@elaamleung	@kirstyes #occhat defo miss writing letters. luv reading them again. brings more memories back than fb! but digi tech more convenient(Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:13:32 +0000)
@kirstyes	. @BillWongOT That’s interesting re pressure to respond ASAP. I feel that more with e-mail but less with twitter/fb possibly? #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:13:41 +0000)
@AnnabelFenn	Admittedly it can work both to support and detract from my occupational balance. I have to be disciplined with the amount of time #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:14:17 +0000)
@kirstyes	. @gilliancrossley On a five minute pomodoro break maybe? #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:14:20 +0000)

@BillWongOT	@AnnabelFenn Yes… being in OT taught me that. Social media should be used to build/enhance relationships, but not 100%. #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:17:22 +0000)
