Abstract:
The results of a study conducted in 1996 by the "Groupe de recherche en ergothérapie communautaire" (GREC), indicate that the quality of occupational therapy services in community settings is infrequently evaluated. A conceptual framework supporting such a process is presented in the context of client-centered services with a focus on continuous health care improvement. Both the research process leading to the design of an assessment tool, and its congruence with the beliefs and values of the profession, are explored. Finally, some issues relating to the implementation of a formal evaluation process are discussed.
