The purpose of the doctoral capstone experience (DCE) at Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI) was to enhance clinical skills specifically in vision occupational therapy as well as develop resource documents ensuring complete educational opportunity for patients with visual impairments. A clinical needs assessment was developed to understand how often patient education resources are provided to patients/family, nature of the resources provided, availability of resources, and the overall level of health literacy. To meet the demand, several resources and a resource filing system were developed to create ease for therapists when providing exceptional care to patients. Resources included larger print documents available for low vision patient binders, low vision resources and organizations in the Indianapolis area, vision specific fall prevention information, a home evaluation record sheet for therapist use, and a large print vision occupational therapy advocacy flyer. Therapists at the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana (RHI) have access to all electronic copies of the documents as well as printed copies kept in the vision therapy room. Sustainability and carry over was discussed, as my site mentor will be responsible for continuation.
