P31-Occupational Therapy Interventions Delivered via Telehealth: A Scoping Review

Presenters: Natasha Irani & Erica Engel

Description: During COVID-19, occupational therapists experienced a rapid shift in service delivery to using telehealth to serve clients across ages, settings, and populations. While evidence related to occupational therapy delivered via telehealth is emerging, there is yet to be a comprehensive overview of evidence-based interventions and assessment methods as well as how practitioners and recipients of care perceive telehealth. Therefore, the purpose of this scoping review was to address the following research questions: 1) What is the evidence related to intervention methods across ages and populations?; 2) Within occupational therapy interventions delivered via telehealth, what assessment methods were used?; and 3) From a qualitative lens, what is the evidence on perceptions of telehealth among practitioners and recipients of care?
