- Abstract
There is currently no developed screening tool indicating occupational performance deficits and the need for referrals to OT in the cancer survivor population. This paper reviews the implementation of the SOCS-OTS at Eskenazi Health, which is a recently developed content valid, occupation-based screening tool. Researchers have shown the need for OT services in oncology. However, OT services are underutilized. I partnered with the EMBRACE program within Eskenazi Health and administered the SOCS-OTS to oncology patients to improve OT referrals. I tripled the amount of OT referrals and generated possible profits for the hospital through these referrals. I was also able to train social workers within the EMBRACE program on administering the SOCS-OTS so we can continue to improve referral rates. We, as healthcare professionals, must continue to advocate for OT services and OT’s role in oncology care to enhance the quality of life for cancer survivors.
