The aim of this study was to identify the outcome measures used by OTs in acute inpatient hospital settings and to explore factors that impact the use of outcome measures. This paper will present the review process, describe in more detail eight assessments that fulfilled many of the review criteria, discuss the limitations of these measures using the "Guidelines for the Client-centred Practice of Occupational Therapy as the framework, and make recommendations for the development of a new outcome measure for use . Despite the rare incorporation of standardized outcome measures in acute care settings, OT students and therapists were willing to further explore the benefits of the standardized tools.
