2024.11.20– Connecting Practice to Data: Implementation Strategies to Increase Collection of Core Outcome Measures in an Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (Recorded Webinar)

Aired live on November 20, 2024. Includes 1 ACBIS CEU. 

Note: A certificate of attendance/ACBIS CEU certificate will not be available with the purchase of this webinar after November 30, 2027.

Application of a learning health system model to traumatic brain injury (TBI) care has been suggested to improve care delivery, care quality, and improve research and clinical integration to more effectively support for individuals with TBI and their families. Capturing analyzable data about clinical care as a by-product of care is a foundational component of learning from practice in a learning health system. But capturing meaningful data that can be analyzed may require focused implementation efforts. In this research webinar, Emily Evans, PT, DPT, Ph.D. and Stacey Zalanowski, PT, DPT will describe the process undertaken by one inpatient rehabilitation facility to improve the collection of performance based physical function outcome measures  included in a core set of outcome measures recommended by the American Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy. They will describe the process using the Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment (EPIS) framework, and Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) taxonomy of implementation strategies.

Learning Objectives

•      Explain the role of clinical data within the learning health system model.
•      Describe the EPIS framework and the role of process frameworks in implementation efforts.
•      Discuss the significance of implementation strategies in successful implementation efforts.

Includes 1 ACBIS CEU.
