AOTA endorses outcomes measurement tool for occupational therapy
Rehab Regs, April 3, 2009
The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) recently endorsed an outcomes measurement tool that evaluates functional improvement to help OTs improve the quality of their services.
On March 31, the AOTA announced its support for the Activity Measurement for Post Acute Care (AM-PAC), an OT outcomes measurement tool created by the Boston University Health and Disability Institute, according to an AOTA press release.
AM-PAC, which is provided by CREcare, LLC, evaluates a client’s basic mobility, daily activities, and applied cognitive functional status. The information gathered by AM-PAC will be used in AOTA’s national outcomes database for OT, and will allow therapists to track and compare the outcomes of their services, according to the AOTA press release.
