This report will provide a summation of current evidence of home modification follow-up and clear guidelines for occupational therapists to utilise to guide home modification follow-up practice.
A systematic review has been utilised to ascertain current evidence of home modification follow-up practice. Findings were categorised against a matrix of factors. Given the lack of published comprehensive research available in the area of occupational therapy home assessment visits, there are many potential areas to be researched including: level of adherence to recommendations made during occupational therapy home visits; the usefulness of the implemented recommendations; and the costs associated with those recommendations (Harris, James, & Snow, 2008). In addition, the mechanisms for obtaining and financing home modification services remains fragmented and difficult to access or navigate, while practice lacks standards and guidelines (Gitlin, Mann, Tomit, & Marcus, 2001).
This review of home modification follow-up aims to source research, to provide an evidence-based guideline to the occupational therapy profession in regards to the follow-up of environmental modifications.
