It is time for a reintroduction. My name is Dr. Rebekah Griffith, the ED DPT. I'm a physical therapist who practices in the Emergency Department. My goal is to make #EDPT well-known & well-practiced. And this is how. 1/

Continuity of care and overall patient-centered management has to become a priority for how we help patients. #EDPT #PTintheED #Physicaltherapist #topofscope

Did you know that #physicaltherapists are involved in every aspect of post-stroke care? How cool is that? But the real flex is in making sure the patient doesn't experience a stroke in the first place... If you're ready to talk about upstream solutions in your system, DM me.

Physical therapists practicing in the #emergencydepartment are doing just this. Fewer bounce backs, less imaging, fewer admissions, fewer procedures, less time in the hospital, etc. This keeps costs down, improves throughput, and increases patient and provider satisfaction.

We've worked for years to advance Medicare payment for PT services, and now we have a real opportunity to make meaningful progress. 📢 Help protect these potential gains and ensure patients continue to have access to care. 🔗 Take action by Sept. 14: apta.org/advocacy/take-actio…

I want to talk about what's possible. Where is the practice globally? Where is it in the U.S.? Where is it in your facility? Where could we be? Where should we be? How are we going to get there... Let's explore the possibility together in this APTA Master Class. #EDPT

What do you think of when you think 'value-based care?' Whose responsible for providing it? What barriers exist? Where are you frustrated? Where are you succeeding? What do you think this shift will change for us? #Topofscope #valuebasedcare #physicaltherapy

"I didn't become a physician because I didn't want that responsibility." Good news - you don't have the same responsibility as a physician. However, you do have the responsibility to provide the best patient management you can within your scope. #topofscope #physicaltherapist

Don't miss our podcast with Dr. Steely Wright, an ED Pharmacist, to learn more about her #topofscope practice. I learned so much! #EDPT #PTintheED #physicaltherapist #EDPharmacist

We generally wait to get involved. A patient comes to us with an existing problem. They have an illness/ injury and they need to regain their function. What if we position ourselves to help them maintain their health and function? Who better. #Topofscope #physicaltherapy

When your healthcare system is committed to collaboration and upstream care and your staff is practicing at the top of their scope outcomes are better, staff retention is better, and patients are happier. Let's talk about what you need in order to change the game. #Topofscope

Is your #Emergencydepartment throughput metric off target? Are you boarding? The missing key here is function. Many patients can be discharged when function is considered. Put your resources up front in the ED. Add PTs and OTs to address this missing link. DM me for help.

Vitals are vital. Vitals with function give a bigger picture. Look beyond the monitor. #edpt #ptintheed #topofscope #Physicaltherapist #Physicaltherapy

Just your weekly reminder that if you haven't started thinking about how to move upstream in your healthcare practice, you're behind. What if you considered repositioning your place on the stream? If you or your facility are ready to make a systems change let's talk about it.
