Background. In Quebec, occupational therapy guidelines allow non occupational therapists, such as home health aides, to select bathing equipment for straightforward cases of clients living at home as long as the aides use a decision-making tool. Purpose. Our aim was to develop a tool that met the common needs of Quebec's health and social services centres (HSSCs), which involve home health aides in selecting bathing equipment for home-dwelling clients. Method. We followed an ongoing iterative process involving a literature review as well as (a) a synthesis of 40 in-house tools, (b) feedback from 10 occupational therapists (two questionnaires and one focus group), (c) pretests, and (d) translation. Findings. Algo is a clinical algorithm constituting a visual map of the logical steps to follow when selecting bathing equipment for straightforward cases. Algo is a series of yes/no questions dealing with occupation, person, and environment. Implications. Algo, rooted in evidence and regulatory board guidelines, is available to HSSCs involving non-occupational therapists in selecting bathing equipment.
