We are excited to begin our sixth year of facilitating an evidence-based resource specific to knowledge surrounding occupational therapy value in acute care practice, education, and leadership. This is the Winter 2024 issue for Journal of Acute Care Occupational Therapy. We continue to promote our journal’s mission to provide an evidence-based resource that is current and representative of occupational therapy unique role in acute care. This past fall, the journal was fortunate to be asked by AOTA Everyday Evidence podcast to share our journey in developing and sustaining a peer-reviewed, relevant, and rigorous evidence resource for the occupational therapy profession. Check out this podcast episode to further hear our journey to filling a knowledge gap and continuing to expand evidence resources for acute care occupational therapy practitioners, educators, and students.
