The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure: Use in an independent living centre
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This audit explores the use of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) in an independent living centre (ILC) in the UK. Although the COPM is widely used in a variety of situations, the audit setting is currently the only ILC in the UK using this outcome measure. It is used in this setting to prove the effectiveness of occupational therapy in order to secure ongoing funding for the ILC. The audit took place over two years and examined results obtained with the COPM during this period. The findings of the audit were then compared to the findings and analyses of a pilot study carried out by Law et al (1994), which tested the use of the COPM as an outcome measure. The audits highlights the effective use of COPM within this setting, recognizing its challenges and limitations, particularly when used by students and junior staff. It is suggested that this measure can be adopted by other organizations for the purpose of securing funding as well as to prove the value of occupational therapy in similar settings.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
