Digital Imaging and technology In O.T
Before I committed to my Occupational Therapy degree I did work experience at a brain injury clinic. It was here that I observed an OT performing a (P.T.A) post traumatic amnesia assessment with the use of digital images displaying objects and family members for the client to remember.
On my first placement I worked in community mental health, here i helped to plan and execute group work. Email was used to inform patients of the weekly group details and theme. cell phones were also used to txt patients reminders for time or to check up if they were coming. A digital camera was used during group work also. Used to document the day and progress photograph things made.
Microsoft word documents were used post group workshops to document the day and write client notes.
There didnt seam to be any issues arround technology use between the client and therapist in my placement. Clients gave there case manager/ OT their contact details willingly and further permition was requested to have txt and email contact with the client.
Everyday Information technology gets used in practice such as cameras, phones and laptops. Specialty areas of OT also use more specific technology for the speech and sight impaired. Such as specifically adapted computers and voice machines to suit individuals and increase their abilities.
Ethical Issues- image capturing
I remember at school when Pixt-phones were all the rage, it was a large issue for our teachers and matrons of the boarding house. The use of cell phones in school and in the boarding house had to be re assessed. I remember the rules changing to only allowed cell phones between the hours of 4pm till bedtime which was around 8pm. Rules still progressed to banning pixed cell phones all together, the matrons unforced this during hand in checking that phones didn't have cameras and turning all phones on and off to check they were real. I think the issue was Pixt bullying but of course we were never told.
