INTERVENTIONS
E-HOW Integration
​
For the purposes of this website, the outcomes of OT services should be participation, health, well-being, and QOL. According to the E-HOW Model, these outcomes are promoted through meaningful and relevant daily activities. The interventions suggested on this page are intended to be meaningful and relevant to individual clients. These suggestions can be tailored to meet the individual needs of residents in SNFs.
FUNCTIONAL MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
The Jimmo v. Sebelius Settlement Agreement set a legal precedent for OT practitioners to provide maintenance therapy when appropriate (CMS, 2014). Functional maintenance programs (FMPs) are one way that OT practitioners are able to implement leisure as a reimbursable therapeutic modality.

OCCUPATION-BASED KITS
An occupation-based kit is a collection of items that are specific to a client's interests. These kits can be leisure-based and help facilitate and encourage leisure participation while also addressing therapy goals.
