Join Dr. James Crick, PhD, of The Ohio State University, for a facilitated discussion examining physical therapy recommendations and variation in practice across hospital settings.
The conversation will consider how PT recommendations are developed, communicated, and incorporated into patient care, as well as factors that influence differences in practice, utilization, and outcomes. Participants will be invited to reflect on current approaches, opportunities for improvement, and ways physical therapists can demonstrate value, consistency, and accountability within complex hospital environments.
