Popis: Although standards exist that require occupational therapists and other health care professionals to include patients in the treatment planning process, our observations lead us to believe that patient involvement is not being maximized. The Patient Participation System allows therapists to actively involve patients in a systematic goal-setting process. The initial results of the use of this system indicate that patients can be effectively involved in establishing personalized, specific goals; identifying outcomes; and evaluating treatment effectiveness.
