Abstract
This article describes a new approach in a group of National Health
Service trusts in the United Kingdom. The assessment and intervention
were focused on using the Model of Human Occupation
in Mental Health services. An occupation focused assessment and
intervention protocol were developed based on the Model of Human
Occupation Screening Tool Single-Observation Form (MOHOSTSOF).
The aim was to develop a guide to treatment and monitoring
to support efficient practice while maintaining an occupation and
client-centered focus. Implementation has been successful to date.
