Which stage of the CPPF involves collecting data to monitor a client’s progress?

In the Canadian Practice Process Framework (CPPF), the correct stage for collecting data to monitor a client's progress is Stage 6. This stage, known as "Implementing," focuses on the application of interventions and gathering relevant data to assess how effective these interventions are in helping the client achieve their goals. By systematically collecting progress data during this stage, occupational therapists can make informed decisions regarding the continuation, modification, or cessation of interventions based on the client's response.

Other stages in the CPPF focus on different aspects of the therapeutic process, such as establishing a therapeutic relationship, setting goals, and planning interventions. However, Stage 6 is where the actual implementation occurs, emphasizing the importance of real-time data collection to evaluate client outcomes and ensure the therapy is aligned with the client's evolving needs. This data-driven approach is critical for ensuring responsive and effective occupational therapy practice.
