Application of the Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool (MOHOST Assessment) in an Acute Psychiatric Setting

Abstract

The Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool (MOHOST) plays a key role in the occupational therapy assessment protocol at an acute psychiatric unit in Britain. This paper incorporates a case study and discussions with the occupational therapists to explore how the assessment influences practice from initial assessment to final outcome measure and how single observation forms and prototype self-assessment forms based on the MOHOST have contributed to the assessment process.
