2 Karen Jacobs, EdD, OTR/L, CPE, FAOTA Boston University, Boston, MA Nancy A. Baker, ScD, MPh, OTR/L University of Pittsburg, Pittsburgh, PA Promoting Activity and Participation Among Persons with Arthritis

3 Imagine the following scenario

4 Learning Objectives Define telehealth Discuss models of care in telehealth Describe a pilot study in tele-ergonomics 4

5 Ergonomics the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data, and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance ( 5

6 Telehealth the application of evaluative, consultative, preventative, and therapeutic services delivered through telecommunication and information technologies (Cason, et al., 2013) 6

7 TelehealthBenefits Reduce inequities in access to health resources by experts remotely to underserved areas Improve efficiency in delivery of services by eliminating travel time, providing instantaneous access, and improving the coordination of care Reduce the costs of assessments, interventions, and education Promote client-centered care, since health professionals can observe clients in their own environments 7

8 Methods Information gathering POTS Electronic forms Webcams/video conferencing Sensors Immediate vs stored Direct or through and intermediary Considerations Capacity of technology Access to technology Skill of client/therapist Pani et al.,

26 Slide 25 R11 You need to mention that this is our pilot work on this system and that it involves people with arthritis - Otherwist a lot of these forms don't make sense (why the AIMS for example) Show the BU study as an exemplar of what we are doing to test the system and as an exemplar of what we think we can get out of it. We have the basic system - this is how we adapt to different people/problems reviewer 1, 9/22/2010
