This course will teach participants the three components that must be met and documented in the medical record to report the appropriate occupational therapy evaluation complexity level. The course will teach participants how patient comorbidities may impact occupational performance. It will also discuss the importance of documenting the amount of assistance and/or modification that the occupational therapist provides during the initial evaluation in order for the patient to complete the task. Finally, this course will use case scenarios in orthopedics, pediatrics, and neurology to teach participants how to determine the appropriate complexity level and the documentation that must be present in the medical record to support their choice.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize the applicable history complexity level
- List examples of occupational performance deficits that are present due to impairments
- Compare the three occupational therapy evaluation codes
