The Development of a Design and Construction Process Protocol to Support the Home Modification Process Delivered by Occupational Therapists

Table 9

Subphase 4 of home modification process protocol.

Intervention planning phase	Subphase 4
Description	Conduct a substantive feasibility study for achieving the PET requirements (including funding route)
Key questions	What design options are there for meeting the PET requirements?
	What other factors in the person’s occupational context will affect the choice of design solutions?
	Does the design proposal meet the PET requirements outlined in subphase 3?
	Should a home modification approach be taken?
Actions	Identify that the design has addressed all the requirements identified in subphase 3
	Identify that the design meets any other occupational performance context requirements
	Identify any practice setting contextual issues that will influence the person(s) choice of design solution
	Identify any potential built environment issues, in the existing space, that will impact on the PET requirements being accommodated
	Identify funding requirements for the home modification
Outcomes	Professional reasoning on the modification design solution process
	Document any issues related to the practice setting or built environment that prevent the optimum design solution being provided
	The specification related to space, space layout, and tools documented
