Problem:
Once data is gathered from an outcome measure it is important that the OT then utilize that data. The OT has a client with a total hip replacement. The OT completes the Barthel at evaluation and again at discharge to show the improvement in LB dressing due to OT services utilizing long handled AE. The OT notes that those who were not able to purchase the AE had few gains and the organization decided to fund long handled AE for this population based on the data. What benefit of measuring outcomes is highlighted? Learning from the data gathered Improving performance Demonstrating superior outcomes Preparing for value-based payment
