Session Descriptions TechnoPalooza: Focus on Wearable Technology in Physical Therapy - presented by Robert Latz, PT, DPT, CHCIO & Sean Bagbey, PTA, MHA, ATC, CIRS Wearable mobile health technologies have exploded over the past 5 years. With improvements in technology these devices have become smaller, more affordable and are more consumer friendly. Wearable mobile health sensors provide the ability to accurately and precisely monitor and measure steps taken, calories burned, transitions, time spent doing certain activities, and other health parameters while patients go about their everyday activities in their home and community. This information can help inform physical therapy practice and even be used as part of a behavioral intervention to motivate clients to improve their health. This course is designed for anyone with an interest in increasing their understanding of and ability to utilize wearable technologies in clinical practice. The course will combine hands on opportunities to explore currently available wearable technology with group discussion, case presentations, and speaker presentations so that attendees can gain a full appreciation of how wearable technologies can be incorporated into physical therapy clinical practice. In addition, we will discuss data collection, storage, sharing options, and security risks. This course will make attendees aware of the opportunities, benefits, and precautions in using wearable mobile health technologies.

Legal and Ethical Issues related to Technology in Physical Therapy - presented by Robert Latz, PT, DPT, CHCIO & Louis D. Kelly Can I use my phone to take a picture of the patient? Can we use that new app we just downloaded? Can we change the settings in our EHR so that it stops timing out so quickly? Can we use data analysis to determine who to see and not see in our clinic? Can we begin our TeleRehab clinic tomorrow? These and other questions will be reviewed in this interactive panel discussion of legal and ethical issues around the use of technology in the clinical setting. In addition, we will discuss how these options can be used in a very positive way for everyone involved.

From Science to Clinical Practice: A Paradigm Shift from Management- to Recovery-based Rehabilitation for Adults and Pediatrics Post-SCI - Presented by Andrea L. Behrman, PT, PhD, FAPTA In this course, Dr. Behrman will trace past and current clinical assumptions as the foundation for management-based rehabilitation post-SCI in comparison to recent scientific evidence guiding the development of recovery-based therapies. While still emerging, a paradigm shift in neurorehabilitation based on activity-dependent plasticity and the neurobiology of postural and locomotor control will be discussed. Principles underlying the clinical application of recovery-based therapies will be identified. Two outcome measures, the Neuromuscular Recovery Scale (adult and pediatric) and the Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (pediatric) will be introduced as recovery-based measures examining neuromuscular capacity while disallowing behavioural- and device-based compensation. Clinical and research examples will provide the context for illustration and implementation of the paradigm-shift and its impact on neuromuscular capacity, health, and quality of life for individuals with SCI.

How to Speak To and About Your Patients - Presented by Kate Schwartzkopf-Phifer, DPT, PhD, OCS, CSCS Have you ever said something dumb to a patient, and wished you could take it back immediately? Sure, we all have. I’ll tell you what’s worse though—saying something that is offensive….and having no clue. It happens to the best of us, and it usually occurs when we’re trying to say something kind. In this course, we’ll talk about the pros and cons of people first language, some well-intentioned comments that are actually super offensive, and some ways to prevent you from being such an a**. Spoiler alert: there will be some explicit language.

Neurodynamic Testing and Treatment: A Manual Physical Therapist’s Perspective - Presented by Norman W. Ayotte, PT, DSc, Cert. MDT, OCS, FAAOMPT The nervous system is complex and its interaction with the body and its effects upon it can be both subtle and profound. During this course, we will explore the current evidence relating to neurodynamic testing and treatment and define the role that it plays in selected musculoskeletal conditions. Neurodynamic tests are a part of the clinician’s tool bag, however, they are not utilized frequently during the examination process leading to omission of key findings that will better direct treatment. Neurodynamic testing such as upper limb tension, straight leg raise, prone knee bend and slump tests will be practiced during this course. During lab, we will practice common evaluation and treatment techniques related to neuro-mobilization and manual therapy.
Norman W. Ayotte, PT, DSc, Cert. MDT, OCS, FAAOMPT graduated from the US Army-Baylor University Physical Therapy Program in 1999 with his Masters Degree.

Continuing the Momentum of Rehabilitation Services Transition to Population Health Management and Value: Is There a Prescient Opportunity for Ambulatory (Outpatient) Physical Therapy? - Presented by Ed Dobrzykowski, PT, DPT, ATC, MHS & Danae Brown, DPT, MBA (candidate) The healthcare financing and delivery systems continue to evolve. Led primarily by CMS (government payers), there continues to be refinements of regulatory actions and systems for care delivery related to targeting improvements in quality, overall population health, and reductions in cost of providers and institutions. Looking forward, we suggest that the future value of physical therapy ambulatory practice will grow incrementally beyond the immediate physical therapy referral and diagnosis, to specific medical problems identified during the evaluation that limit patient health. For example, patients referred for physical therapy following their total knee arthroplasty may present with a medical history of diabetes, obesity, or osteoarthritis. The purpose of a physical therapy plan of care and treatment will evolve to include interventions for managing one or more of these patient’s healthcare conditions. Justification will include bundled payments and avoidance of future healthcare expense as payment models evolve. This ninety-minute presentation will provide updates on the CMS driven payment transitions to value and managing population health; discuss evaluations that include patient overall health review; include interventions germane to current patient health, and address barriers to clinical practice inclusion and patient behavioral changes. Ed Dobrzykowski, PT, DPT, ATC, MHS is a Rehabilitation Services Consultant and Educator, with specific emphasis on acute/inpatient services care delivery, staffing models, post-acute patient transitions, work flows, productivity/efficiency measurement, and leadership and management skill development.

Additional Programming Forum: The New Payment Model for SNFs - Presented by Robert Latz, PT, DPT, CHCIO; Liz Barlow, BSN, RN, CRRN, RAC-CT, DNS-CT & Glenda Mack, PT, MSPT, MBA, CLT The “Final Rule” for SNF settings will be available by August 31, 2018. This means attendees of this September 22 session will learn the latest news from CMS related to their recently proposed new payment model called PDPM (Patient Driven Payment Model). This session will provide Physical Therapists and Physical Therapist Assistants with the knowledge and tools to prepare for the proposed October 1, 2019 implementation of PDPM. As a reminder, PDPM is a payment model proposed by CMS for all patients under the Part A payer in a Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF). PDPM is designed to correlate the patients’ conditions and care needs rather than the volume of services provided. This is a shift in the way payment is currently provided in these settings and this may have a huge impact on payment for therapy services. In short, the current SNF RUGs model of payment is going away, and this new model is intended as a replacement. Anyone practicing (or interested in practicing) in a SNF will benefit from understanding this new payment model and the quality measures in place to support the model. Robert Latz, PT, DPT, CHCIO - see biography on page 4.
