Identifying OT Practice Areas for Improving End-of-Life Health Care Experience From Narrative Responses to Bereaved Family Surveys

Abstract

Abstract Date Presented 04/200/21 Using narrative responses to the Veterans Affairs Bereaved Family Survey, we have identified practice areas that fall within the OT Practice Framework (3rd ed.). Intervention in the identified OT practice areas could improve the end-of-life health care experience for both patients and providers. Narrative responses can be used to identify areas to improve quality of care and may provide initial support for implementing innovative practices.
