Algo is a clinical decision algorithm developed to support nonoccupational therapists in establishing assistive technology recommendations to enable physically disabled adults to perform their hygiene at home. This study aimed to explore the in-depth clinical reasoning of nonoccupational therapists using Algo to pinpoint the items leading to disagreements regarding recommendations. A multiple-case study was conducted with eight nonoccupational therapists trained to use Algo and filmed while using it with six standardized clients. Explicitation interviews were conducted for the conflicting recommendations. Identifying the key reasoning skills to develop in Algo users has led to three recommendations to enhance standardization with seniors.
Algo是一种临床决策算法，旨在帮助非职业治疗师制定辅助技术建议，使身体残疾的成年人能够在家中进行个人卫生护理。本研究旨在探讨非职业治疗师使用Algo时的深入临床推理，以确定导致建议分歧的项目。对八名接受过使用Algo培训的非职业治疗师进行了多案例研究，并在他们与六名标准化客户使用Algo时进行了拍摄。针对相互冲突的建议进行了明确化访谈。确定Algo用户需要培养的关键推理技能后，提出了三项建议，以提高与老年人相关工作的标准化程度。
