OCCP3102: Using and Generating Evidence in OT
2024 unit information
Evidence Based Practice is the cornerstone of modern service delivery approaches in all healthcare settings. In this unit of study, students will learn and apply modern approaches to Evidence Based Practice and will explore challenging questions such as, How do I integrate client centred and person directed planning approaches with concepts of Evidence Based Practice? How do I approach situations where there is limited evidence to guide my interventions? How can I establish rigorous evaluation approaches to ensure my interventions are achieving the desired outcomes, and How can I develop practice based quality improvement and research projects to help general evidence to support best practice? This unit will be delivered in block mode alongside Practice Education placements, so students will have the opportunity to use their practice based experiences to explore and apply the content of this unit in their practice.
