Abstract:
It is the responsibility of professions to provide evidence of the demonstrable value and quality of service delivery. Occupational therapists in mental health care settings find it difficult to produce convincing evidence of the demonstrable value and their contribution to health care. Currently no effective outcome measure for occupational therapists in mental health practices exists for the South African context . The development of an outcomes measuring system is much needed in these crucial times of cost-cutting, rendering quality of care with the minimum resources and the quest for evide

Abstract:
This thesis rhetorically analyzes the Outcomes Statement (OS) developed by "The Outcomes Collective" (a group of writing program administrators) for First-Year Composition. The OS was designed to create curricular consensus with regard to First-Year Composition both within and across postsecondary institutions. Though postmodern undertones permeate the OS, it can be interpreted from a purely modernist perspective. The thesis includes a chapter with suggestions on revising the OS to control this ambiguity.

This thesis explores the utility of critical care following surgery. In particular, it assesses whether there are differences in how countries provide for critical ca re following surgery and whether these impact on outcomes. A meta-analysis of pre-emptive haemodynamic interventions in surgery was shown to reduce complications and mortality. Many of these interventions required the use of critical care which limited their utility. An analysis of a quality Austrian critical ca re database enabled an understanding of the group of patients admitted to critical care following surgery and the facto
