"The fourth edition of the Quick Reference to Occupational Therapy covers articles, chapters, books, manuals, or official association documents published from 2010 through 2019, with some articles published in 2020 that were uploaded in prepublication form in 2018 or 2019. A total of 158 diagnoses are covered in detail in 13 categories, and another 71 diagnoses are identified as having at least one reference. The outline of the chapters is based on the Occupational Therapy Practice Frameworks III and IV (OTPF; American Occupational Therapy Association [AOTA], 2014, 2020) but is condensed to save space. The new occupation in the OTPF-IV, Health Maintenance, is covered under Activities of Daily Living and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living because the occupation was not a separate category when the outline for the Quick Reference was set in 2019. Another space saver is to list the names of the assessment instruments in each chapter, but summarized the source information is two appendices-one for assessment author exclusively or in part by occupational therapy personnel (Appendix A) and one for assessment authored by other professionals but used by occupational therapy personnel (Appendix B). The assessment instruments are divided because those created exclusively or in part by occupational therapy personnel are more likely to provide information that can be directly translated into goals related to occupational performance typically addressed in occupational therapy. Assessment instruments developed by other professionals may require translation or additional analysis to be useful in developing and implementing goals related to occupational performance"--
