@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)

@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)

@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 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)

@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)

@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)

@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	@kirstyes actually, the least pressure I have is if people text me. I rarely check texts at home. #occhat (Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:15:47 +0000)
@fullyOccupied	@kirstyes @billwongot #occhat I agree -definitely less pressure – a kind of ‘collect when you can, respond when you like’ feel about it!(Tue, 04 Dec 2012 20:15:53 +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)
