Information and communication technology use within occupational therapy home assessments: A scoping review / Kayla Ninnis in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 82 Issue 3 (Mars 2019)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 82 Issue 3 (Mars 2019) . - p. 141-152 Titre : Information and communication technology use within occupational therapy home assessments: A scoping review Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kayla Ninnis ; Maayken Van Den Berg ; Natasha A. Lannin ; Stacey George ; Kate Laver Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 141-152 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022618786928 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Occupational therapy  technology  home assessment  telemedicine Résumé : Introduction Home assessments conducted by occupational therapists can identify hazards and prevent falls. However, they may not be conducted because of limited time or long distances between the therapist’s workplace and the person’s home. Developments in technologies may overcome such barriers and could improve the quality of the home assessment process. Method This scoping review synthesises the findings of studies evaluating information and communication technology use within occupational therapy home assessments. Results Fourteen studies were included and revealed the two main approaches to technology use: the development of new applications and the use of existing and readily available technologies. Facilitators and barriers to use were also identified. Facilitators included usefulness, ease of use and the potential for cost-effectiveness. Barriers to use included poor usability, unsuitability for some populations and perceived threat to the role of occupational therapy. The synthesis revealed that traditional in-home assessments conducted by therapists are more sensitive in identifying hazards. Conclusion The availability of new technologies offers potential to improve service delivery; however these technologies are underutilised in clinical practice. Technologies may offer advantages in the conduct of home assessments, especially regarding efficiency, but have not yet been shown to be superior in terms of patient outcome.
