In the MOHO process, what is the last step of implementation?

The last step of the implementation process in the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) is focused on collecting information to assess outcomes. This step is crucial because it allows the occupational therapist to evaluate how effective the interventions have been in achieving the client’s goals and improving their occupational performance. By collecting data on outcomes, therapists can determine whether the interventions were successful or if adjustments are needed to better meet the client's needs. This assessment informs future practice and helps ensure that interventions remain relevant and effective.

In the context of the MOHO process, this step emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practice and the continuous nature of client care. Assessing outcomes helps in understanding the client’s progress over time and tailoring future interventions accordingly, which is central to occupational therapy's client-centered approach.

While monitoring therapy progress, creating client-centered goals, and developing a collaborative plan are all essential parts of the therapeutic process and happen at various stages, they precede the final step of assessing outcomes. Collecting information to assess outcomes wraps up the implementation phase and assesses the overall effectiveness of the therapeutic intervention.
