Practice Improvement
Use evidence-based practice (EBP), knowledge translation (KT), and quality principles to improve your practice. Improve client care through ongoing reflection, assessment, and refinement of occupational therapy services across practice settings.
Evidence-Based Practice & Knowledge Translation
Evidence-based practice integrates a systematic search, appraisal and synthesis of relevant research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences and values.
Knowledge translation improves the accessibility and applicability of research results to everyday clinical practice.
Quality
Quality is the ability to achieve desired outcomes of care, which includes being efficient; practicing timely, effective, and informed care; utilizing measurement; monitoring outcomes; and focusing on process improvement.
