Holm, OTD, OTR/L, BCPR, is designed for practitioners working in a hospital setting and others seeking to learn more about this important but often overlooked area of practice. Illustrated chapters offer an understanding of the various bodily systems, common conditions, diseases, procedures, and typical medical management and how they relate to occupational therapy practice. Chapter 4, by Pascale Mathieu, OTR/L, CLT, and Carolyn Budd, OTR/L, discusses the benefits of using standardized assessments in acute care practice and offers a selection of tools appropriate for that setting. A description of the purpose of each measurement tool, with its targeted population, time, cost, setting for administration, and psychometric properties, is also presented. In addition, this chapter includes an overview of G-codes and their application in acute care.
