Occupational therapists within Nova Scotia Health strive to deliver safe, ethical practice based on and/or informed by evidence.
There are several strategies that occupational therapists can use to inform and guide practice, including:
- Information from assessment and outcomes
- Clinical expertise and opinion (e.g. practice councils, educators)
- Critical appraisal of research articles
- Library subject guides (e.g. from health care organizations)
- Literature reviews
- Practice standards and guidelines (OT-specific, population-specific, etc.)
- Problem solving with colleagues
