3 SCOPE OF PRACTICE Acute and Emergency Department OT Sub-Acute OT Occupational Therapists (OTs) working in the acute hospital environment, facilitate discharge within the context of the acute reason for hospital admission. Patients are commonly admitted to the acute hospital with chronic or pre-existing medical conditions, however the acute OT may not be referred to assess these patients, particularly if their conditions are not directly related to the reason for hospital admission or have not caused an acute change in functional status. Therefore it cannot be assumed that acute hospital admission will result in automatic OT intervention. The role of the acute OT is to ensure the patient is appropriate for discharge; within this scope of practice the acute OT may prescribe low cost items of equipment and assess for low cost home modifications (under $1000) if they will prevent hospital re-admission or assist in facilitating home discharge. Patients are provided with equipment for 30 days post discharge and/or encouraged to purchase low cost items should they require them (i.e. they present with long-term needs). As a result, OTs working in Emergency Departments and acute hospital wards rarely apply for SWEP funding. On the occasion when a patient cannot afford a low cost item of equipment and the ongoing need (post 30 days) is obvious, then the acute OT will complete the SWEP application. Acute OTs will prescribe and provide pressure care equipment (cushions and mattresses) that are assessed as suitable to manage the pressure injury at the time of discharge from the acute hospital setting. Equipment will be trialed on the acute ward and funded for 30 days post discharge. Acute OTs will collaborate with nursing staff to initiate a referral to community nursing (RDNS or Eastern at Home) for wound care. Acute OTs will liaise with the community nursing service regarding equipment prescription and recommendations for ongoing care at the time of discharge. Community nursing will monitor wound healing and refer to Community Health OTs should the pressure injury require long term equipment prescription. Occupational Therapists in the acute setting will refer to Community Health Centre OTs for assessment of long term items of equipment when: The patient s level of occupational performance is not stable on discharge. The patient does not have goals that indicate referral to the Eastern Health Community Rehabilitation Program (CRP) but has high cost and/or complex equipment and/or home modification needs. A trial of multiple different models for an item of equipment is required. Multiple home assessments are required to trial items of equipment and/or assess for permanent home modifications. Patients may be admitted to Sub-Acute following an acute admission. They are often neurological or orthopedic patients. All patients are assessed by an OT. Due to reduced length of stay, inpatient rehabilitation goals usually surround the bare essential occupations that a patient needs to be able to perform on discharge. Unfortunately equipment issued on discharge is limited to available hire stock, therefore patients are often sent home with the available, adequate item rather than the perfect model of equipment. Patients are often referred on to community services (i.e. Personal Care Assistance, Home Help) for tasks that they do not achieve independence with on the ward. Often these patients are also referred onto CRP to progress independence in these areas if their condition is likely to improve with the potential goal of reducing services required. Examples of common sub-acute goals include: Independent self care Independent drink and light meal preparation Adequate home setup for occupational performance needs on discharge Independent implementation of energy conservation strategies Independent implementation of falls prevention strategies Occasionally SWEP applications are completed in sub-acute. Patients are mainly encouraged to purchase equipment if their occupational performance is unlikely to improve post discharge and they require low cost items on a permanent basis. In instances where major modifications are required to facilitate discharge from hospital, and are to be funded by patient/family, the inpatient therapist would make their recommendations and arrange for Archicentre plans. The OT may then arrange quotes (or family may pursue quotes) from a registered builder who may then follow through with completion of these works. In instances where the patient s level of functioning may change or is unclear, temporary equipment or minor modifications may be recommended by the inpatient therapist rather than more major modifications. Any future modifications would then be followed through in the community when long-term functional status is clearer. In instances where major modifications are requested, but not required to facilitate safe discharge, and the patient/family wish to fund modifications, the OT may refer on to Community Health to follow this through. As with acute, higher cost items that are generally required by patients with more complex needs may not have a SWEP application completed on the ward due to: the patient s level of occupational performance is not stable on discharge; inability to trial different models of equipment; need to trial different models of equipment in patient s home/usual environment; need to complete multiple home assessments These patients will be referred onto ambulatory care if they have rehab needs, or Community Health to determine long term equipment needs. Sub-acute OTs may refer to both Ambulatory Care and Community Health if the patient requires major home modifications (over $1000) funded through SWEP. EASTERN METROPOLITAN REGION OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY REFERRAL PATHWAYS l 3
4 SCOPE OF PRACTICE CONTINUED Ambulatory Care OT Community Health Services OT Ambulatory Care OTs provide treatment to clients within their own home. Length of stay is approximately 6 12 weeks. In order to be eligible a client must satisfy the following criteria: Have rehabilitation goals (time limited, functional) The reason for referral to Occupational Therapy services to address equipment and/or modification needs must be related to the reason for admission for rehabilitation. If they fail to meet the criteria for rehabilitation they will be referred to Community Health or private Occupational Therapy services for ongoing input. Community Rehabilitation Occupational Therapists will: Provide equipment and minor home modifications where the need for OT input relates to the reason for admission (i.e installation of a rail at the front access to enable community access for a client who has had a recent hip replacement). Submit SWEP applications for eligible clients when the equipment or home modification does not require OT sign off (i.e under $1000) when funding becomes available. Consider provision of equipment/modifications over the cost of $1000 if the client is willing to purchase/pay upfront and it is evident that equipment will be provided/work will be completed within the estimated length of stay of the CRP admission and not delay discharge. Consider whether referral to a private OT for follow up may better suit the client with use of a GP Allied Health care plan. Community Rehabilitation OTs will not: Accept equipment only referrals when no other discipline is involved, as all CRP eligible clients must have interdisciplinary rehabilitation goals. These referrals will be directed back to the referrer to refer onto the appropriate Community Health Service. If another discipline is involved, OT will accept a referral for equipment provision, provided it meets the criteria set out above for interventions relating to equipment provision. Start a SWEP application for major bathroom modifications/ equipment prescription over $1000 for an admitted client and refer onto Community Health. These clients should be referred directly onto Community Health either at the acute/ Sub-Acute stage or during the CRP admission depending upon satisfaction of CRP criteria above. Concurrent referrals to Community Health and Community Rehabilitation OTs will be accepted to enable rehabilitation goals to be pursued as well as major home modifications/costly equipment. Accept referrals for driving assessment or referral onto driving services only. Occupational Therapy services provided by Community Health Services are guided by the Home and Community Care Priority Guidelines produced by the Department of Health. Through discussions held between Community Health and Eastern Health, Community Health OTs have also agreed to the following. Community Health Occupational Therapists will: Accept referrals for major bathroom modifications/ equipment costs over $1000 where SWEP application and sign off is required for funding and length of application time will exceed length of CRP admission. Accept concurrent referrals whilst CRP OT is involved where the above conditions apply, when the client is safe and set up to manage care at home while awaiting input for more permanent modifications/equipment. Where able, consideration will be given to joint sessions for handover to enable continuity of service appropriate to client need. Accept referrals from any allied health discipline either at acute, sub-acute or ambulatory level that meets Community Health OT acceptance criteria. Community Health OTs will not: Accept referrals to sign off on SWEP applications that have been previously submitted by Eastern Health OTs. Accept referrals when equipment requires maintenance and checkup post prescription. Accept referrals for home modifications/equipment that is required for a safe discharge. Accept referrals to complete a SWEP application for a low cost item of equipment. 4
5 GUIDELINES FOR SWEP APPLICATIONS This Table should be used as a guide, with consideration given to individual patients on a case by case basis. Occupational Therapists in Eastern Health will only complete State Wide Equipment Prescription (SWEP) applications if the patient s occupational performance issues are stable and the permanent need for the item of equipment is obvious. The Community Health Services column refers to referrals sent from Eastern Health.
