Centennial Vision Statement
By the year 2017……
We envision that occupational therapy is a
powerful, widely recognized,
science-driven, and
evidence-basedprofession with a
globally connected and diverse workforce meeting society’s
occupational needs.
Powerful
Leadership role in health care delivery system
Education as basis for power
Active in policymaking
Use of technology to provide services
Influence change to benefit society
Proliferation of private-pay practices
Widely Recognized
Clear, compelling public image
Consumer friendly language
Widespread understanding of OT
OT identity and scope protected by law
Value of occupation to health and wellness recognized by society
Increased OT consumer demand
Science-Driven
Greater research capacity and productivity to develop new and more effective methods in OT practice
Science-based knowledge blended with occupation-based practice in all settings
Premier universities seek occupational scientists to engage in research
Evidence-Based
All OT practice areas supported by evidence
OT efficacy data widely available
All payers cover OT because of efficacy, savings, benefits, etc.
Globally Connected and Diverse Workforce Global OT community
Increased involvement of members
AOTA = essential tool of the profession
OT roles include: practitioners, educators, researchers, scientists, & entrepreneurs
Members reflect society’s diversity
New alliances with other professionals
Occupational Needs Active participation in life contributes to health
because it “enables individuals to utilize their biological capacities and potential” (Wilcock, 1993)
Ability to “do” affected by:
Technology
Demographics
Health care
Unpredictable events
Catastrophic illness/disability

Special/Regular Education Promoting role of OT—Early intervening Positive Behavioral Supports Ohio, Idaho Medicaid recognition Advocacy on promoting rehabilitation in Medicaid
Create Better Linkages Between Education, Research, and Practice Ad Hoc Committee
Charge: Advise AOTA on projects and activities that will build stronger linkages between research, education, and practice and make preliminary recommendations that will inform new and evolving AOTA initiatives, particularly in the areas of continuing education, evidence-based practice, Annual Conference, and publications.
Status: The final report was accepted by the BOD at their October 2007 meeting. Staff was charged to identify the feasibility of implementing the recommendations.
Linkages Between Research, Education, & Practice PROGRESS (continued):
Key Findings: Promoting practice scholarship with all members
of the profession is key to addressing the charge
Identified that scholarship and lifelong learning are not the exclusive domain of academics and researchers
For the profession to continue to thrive and meet the Centennial Vision, we must recognize scholarship as key role of the practice, education, and research communities
Key Recommendations & Status:
Promoting practice scholarship with all members of the profession is key to addressing the charge.
Status: This concept is being promoted as related projects are being developed.
Key Recommendations (con’t):
AOTA/AOTF sponsor a meeting of the editors of AJOT, OTJR, OT Practice, and other selected publications focused on OT issues to determine how they can work together to facilitate translation of research to practice using their publications.
Status: New AJOT editor appointed, meeting to follow
Key Recommendations (con’t):
Propose future AOTA Conference theme Finding Your Inner Scholar: Focus on Lifelong Learning. Conference design should target multiple venues for linkages and connections among educators, researchers, students, and practitioners.
Status: The theme being adopted for the 2009 Conference in Houston is “linking education, research, & practice” to meet the intent of this recommendation.
Linking Education, Research & Practice: Progress
More Progress: AOTA’s EBLR Initiative
Evidence Perks All Perks are designed to link EB-related resources
to practice and education. Evidence Bytes
Bytes published 2x/month in AOTA’s 1-Minute Update. Target 6 broad practice areas and provide links to EB (scientific) resources for all audiences.
EB reviews Findings are disseminated in multiple formats.
CATs and CAPs added to the Web site.
Linking Education, Research & Practice: Progress
SIS Q’s (EDSIS, GSIS, TSIS) Work is in progress to collaborate on articles
that provides EBP information in a user-friendly format with emphasis on translating EB published findings into practice
Most, if not all, SISs have committed to have a
research or evidence component linked with a practice topic for their SIS Workshop at the 2009 Annual Conference.

PROGRESS Two ad hoc groups formed to develop:
OT model curriculum OTA model curriculum
Process: Completed review of the literature Defined the “model curriculum” Identified the stakeholders and their needs Identified key “threads” and “content” needed
to ensure that academic programs address the needs of graduates for the 21st century
Developed an online forum to allow dialogue with key stakeholders for further input
Met with key stakeholder groups (e.g., Program Directors; SIS Leadership)
Model Curriculum Ad Hocs
Develop Model Curriculum The Committees are currently working on the
final draft versions of the Model Curriculums which will guide the user through the steps in developing and/or revising a “Model OT/OTA Curriculum”.
Each model curriculum will include exemplars. Feedback will be solicited from all interested
stakeholders via e-mails and forums. Feedback will be incorporated into the final product.
Target date of completion for the October 2009 Program Directors’ meeting.
Follow-Up to Model Curriculums
“Blueprint for the Future of Education” Charged with identifying the
curriculum content and expected student learning outcomes for occupational therapy and occupational therapy assistant programs in order to meet society’s needs in the 21st century
Outcomes DatabaseGOALS Develop universal computerized outcomes database
Identify the OT outcomes that support our practice Ensure payment coverage
PROGRESS (2007) Phase I Ad Hoc Committee gave final report to the BOD:
Jane Case Smith, Chairperson Ad Hoc Key Recommendations:
Constructs: Areas of Occupation (Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, AOTA 2002)
Partner with existing database management company
Develop Outcomes Database

Develop Outcomes Database
AOTA is ready to promote use of AM-PAC tool by occupational therapists
Request OT users of AM-PAC tool to report data to the AOTA Outcomes Database
Develop Outcomes Database
AOTA is ready to negotiate agreement with CREcare regarding access to and use of data.
In addition to AM-PAC scores at intake and discharge, determine the other mandatory fields for AOTA Outcomes Database.
Develop Outcomes Database
AOTA is ready to form ad hoc committee to begin the development of documentation templates this fall in preparation for collaboration with an electronic documentation company.
