Transition from analog to digital occupational therapy documentation

Introduction:
There is international agreement on the importance and necessity of occupational therapy documentation. Nevertheless, there are major differences in the content and structuring of occupational therapy reports. Although various aspects of occupational therapy documentation have been studied scientifically to date, the amount of data and evidence is small and often country-specific. Therefore, there is a need for a discussion about the professional quality standards and how this can be implemented by means of a digital occupational therapy documentation tool.
The aim of this workshop is to evaluate a prototype for digital occupational therapy documentation. A possible cooperation on an international university level to further develop this prototype will be sought.
Method:
Participants of this workshop will learn about a prototype for digital occupational therapy documentation that can be used in all occupational therapy fields, which was developed in the context of a research project at the University of Applied Sciences Krems.
Subsequently, the prototype will be discussed in small groups with regard to applicability in teaching and practice and possible missing aspects.
In the plenum, the results from the small groups will be compiled and possible further collaborations will be discussed.
