Discover the transformative role of physical therapy in emergency care with Dr. Rebekah Griffith’s Top of Scope.
The emergency department of any hospital is a fast-paced, bustling, and logistically-complicated hub serving patients at some of their most vulnerable moments. Physical therapists can, and should, play a critical role in that service.
Commonly the missing piece an emergency department didn’t know it was missing, a physical therapist can skillfully integrate into a patient’s pathway through the department all the while improving everything from throughput, to opioid use, to patient satisfaction.
Aimed primarily at physical therapists and with an abundance of inspiring anecdotes from the field, Dr. Rebekah Griffith takes you through:
- The best research on WHY a physical therapist increases efficiency, saves money,
and improves patient outcomes in the emergency department - Step-by-step HOW to get started planning, preparing, and implementing your
practice - WHAT to do to track, grow, and support your practice with ample resources and
connections
By the end of Top of Scope, you will not only have actionable strategies to start your own emergency department physical therapist practice, but also leave with a renewed belief in the power of therapeutic rapport and its ability to change the trajectory of a patient’s health journey.
“To really explore all facets of the human experience, there
are few better places than the emergency department.”
