| Summary, etc |
A multidisciplinary project is under way to develop a computer model which will simulate the hip fracture care process in both a large teaching hospital and a district general hospital (Currie et al 1998). This paper describes the occupational therapy contribution to the project. The complex process of care will be simulated by integrating each clinical group's patient intervention (strategy) at each point of the patient's journey. As part of this research, the literature was referred to for evidence to support current occupational therapy and to form a structure for simulation. The occupational therapy strategy is represented as a flow chart which leads the patient from admission to the acute orthopaedic ward, through to assessment, rehabilitation and, finally, discharge. The literature suggested that the way in which each occupational therapist individualised this strategy (based on Hagedorn's [1997] model) was influenced by his or her own clinical reasoning, which might in turn affect outcome. The notion that mental modelling (clinical reasoning) might be simulated has led to the suggestion that computer simulation could be used as a learning tool to develop clinical reasoning skills in the novice, with the aim of improving patient care. |
