“…Since that time, most of the articles published in the column have directly discussed connections between occupational therapy and the Triple Aim. Examples of these discussions have included • Primary care and value-based payment (Leland, Crum, Phipps, Roberts, & Gage, 2015;Stoffel, 2013) • The role of healthy habits and occupational therapy's role in wellness and prevention as a strategy to maintain its relevance (Hildenbrand & Lamb, 2013;Persch, Lamb, Metzler, & Fristad, 2015) • New models of interdisciplinary team practice and a vision of health care as "a coordinated system built on teams of professionals with many capabilities and varied scopes of practice all focused on achieving health" (Metzler, Hartmann, & Lowenthal, 2012, p. 267;Moyers & Metzler, 2014) • Increased use of information technologies supported by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and telehealth (Cason, 2015;Moyers & Metzler, 2014) • The Triple Aim and client centeredness as providing "a compass for future research demonstrating occupational therapy's value through improved outcomes for health care recipients, increased efficiency of care transitions and prevention of hospital readmissions, and cost-effectiveness of interventions and programs when effectively and efficiently provided on the basis of best practice" (Lamb & Metzler, 2014, p. 9;Mroz, Pitonyak, Fogelberg, & Leland, 2015) • Evidence and promotion of the distinct value of occupational therapy (Arbesman, Lieberman, & Metzler, 2014). One of the three pillars of the Triple Aim is to improve the overall health of the population.…”
