COT has been developing national standards to support occupational therapy record keeping in electronic care records

Part of this work has been developing sets of terms that OTs routinely use in their record keeping. For example: the names of standardised assessment tools and outcome measures; and outcomes for patients / service users.

COT is developing three further sets of terms that are essential to support occupational therapy record keeping and practice, service commissioning, central returns and clinical research. These sets will be: 'Problems', 'Goals' and 'OT Interventions'.
