Excellent material. I honestly had never appreciated the amount of habit-driven therapy I have implemented throughout the work day. I will definitely rethink my approach for patients. Thanks for the great presentation subject matter.

I enjoyed the theory and discussion behind choosing wisely. I can see why my OTA professor told us not to do cones and pegs. Unfortunately, what I see in SNFs are time constraints and a heavy load of clients to attend to, which seems to challenge the concept of choosing wisely. I work in home health which might have more opportunities for "out of the box" thinking but then I would also have to buy my supplies. This workshop gave me a lot of food for thought especially about being intentional.

As a currently retired OT, I was unaware of the Choosing Wisely initiative. This course was very informative and gave me pause to reflect of my habits, "for good or ill."
by

on
April 12, 2021
The instructor presented clearly who, what and why Choosing Wisely has been created for the OT professional. The skill of self-reflection is valued because it can create insight into habit formation. Awareness of how the basal ganglia are involved in habit formation can assist the practitioner to disrupt and discontinue a habit that is not EBP. The OT can then cultivate the intention to deliver mindful occupational therapy supported by EB.

I have had roadblocks and an extremely hard time in implementing the "Choosing Wisely" thinking shift in not only my students who see out-dated Tx media on fieldwork, but also in the clinical environment.

This is so relevant but many therapists are unaware that they are using outdated, irrelevant approaches or they are abandoning the basic principles of OT. I am an old-time OT who was taught to use functional activities for everything! There is subtle pressure now in the clinical setting to use straight exercise, physical modalities or machines in treatment which in many ways makes it easier on the therapist to plan, implement and treat patients, especially when there are productivity expectations and you are not paid for your time to treatment plan. Additionally, there may be limited supplies for creative endeavors in some treatment settings. Either way, it's important to have leadership that helps to stimulate growth and creativity in the treatment team so that they are challenging each other to explore options and question the value of the status quo.

Great information to get out of certain habits or routines that may not be the most evidence-based for working with patients.

This must be the most controversial material I've been exposed to in recent years! The presenter is organized but my perspective is that it is a lopsided presentation that fails to take into account numerous, almost infinite factors, that adversely affect diverse work environments - all of which are out of the therapist's control. Despite the factors sited in this presentation that can contribute to habitual treatment, there is also, sadly, often a lack of intentional creativity and a mental laziness that is characteristic of therapeutic interventions today.

Did not know about Choose Wisely; While I agree completely with the clinical perspective, the absolute mandate from almost all LTC facilities in our area is to document while treating & will make CW goals difficult to achieve. Either tx is habitual & little occupation is used, as the cognitive task that occurs is the note writing. Or if not, the note writing will be cut & paste or "click, click" & not reflect what really happened in the spontaneously modified tx session. Perhaps the liability issues that will emerge as consumers learn that certain widespread practices have been condemned by professional organizations, may drive corporate heads to change their demands on line staff, but it won't be pretty where I live. Speed of task performance increases with repetition as we all know, speed improves productivity & that's what managers want. Thanks for letting us know. I've seen occupation rise & fall, & I hope it makes a come-back, but i'm glad I'm at the end of my career.

The information was presented with clarity and organization. The topic is one which I have thought about many times, and the course provides useful strategies for improving the use of evidence based interventions. I like that this has not been foisted upon the OT profession in a general way, as that would be counter productive. Here is an individualized approach to deciphering the best use of therapeutic intervention, and it was done thoughtfully. I think that the objective of the course content was met in the delivery of the presentation.

The class and instructor were good at getting the point across. I am glad I took this class to be up on the current ideas in OT.But, I don't agree with all of them! Glad I'm educated on this, but I don't feel using cones and pulleys are habits of mine. The whole "habit" thing was a bit offensive.
No more reviews to load.
