QUEST (Quality Evaluation Strategy Tool)

QUEST provides a comprehensive strategy to use data to demonstrate the value of occupational therapy. QUEST describes a set of seven occupational therapy quality indicators applicable to all practice settings. Data from the indicators provides evidence and accountability of how occupational therapy advances health outcomes, enhances satisfaction and optimises use of limited resources.
