1 Physical Therapy Who are the preferred providers?

2 Physical Therapists Physical Therapist Assistants Supported by aides and other office specific workers

3 Historical Perspective Physical therapist 1921 first Women s Physical Therapeutic Association 1930 s admitted men 1940 s name changed to APTA 1950 s 39 programs 1978 established specialist certification program Current: 210 US programs 21 at MPT/MSPT & 189 at DPT level (CAPTE April 2008) Physical Therapist Assistant 1964 Task Force programs started 1969 first graduation from St Mary s in MN & Miami Dade in FL 1971 Nancy Watt s article clarifications within House of Delegates 2005 APTA develops certificate to recognize advanced proficiency Current: > 233 programs (CAPTE April 2008)

4 Role of PT Assistants Technically trained in the skill set needed to support the Physical Therapist Measurement using standardized techniques Direct intervention Patient-related instruction Onsite assessment of response Addressed within the Guide to Physical Therapist Practice

5 APTA Education Consensus on Delegation based on 1997 document Consider PTA education, training, experience, & skill level Patient status (criticality, acuity, stability, complexity), predictability of consequences, and frequency of re-evaluation that will be needed State regulations; Potential liability; Mission for PT services within the setting May delegate elements of exam process to PTA - IF this will not compromise ability to reach diagnosis or decision regarding intervention

6 Quick look at Watt s Taxonomy Level 1 standardized & routine Level 2 stable application based on guidelines Level 3 variations in treatment occur but not rapidly or unexpectedly Level 4 rapid modifications needed with interpretation ongoing Level 5 evaluative, requiring decisions and oversight during administration to assess Level 6 applications to group patterns Level 7 applications to theoretical development

7 CAPTE Position Paper Evaluative criteria that address the relationship between physical therapists and physical therapist assistants n=general_information&contentid=46607 &TEMPLATE=/CM/ContentDisplay.cfm

8 From CAPTE Position Paper on PT-PTA preferred relationship The elements of Examination, Evaluation, Diagnosis, Prognosis, Plan of Care, and Outcomes are the sole responsibility of the physical therapist. The physical therapist is responsible for determining those aspects of intervention that may be directed to the physical therapist assistant for each individual patient depending upon patient acuity, stability, and complexity. When interventions require continuous examination for safe and effective application <> they may not be delegated to the physical therapist assistant. <> such as, but not limited to, suctioning, joint mobilization, sharp debridement, instrumental activities of daily living training, and other components of interventions listed in Appendix E of the Normative Model of Physical Therapist Assistant Education, Version 99

9 Continuing, from CAPTE position paper The physical therapist initiates and modifies the treatment program; the physical therapist assistant may modify specific treatment procedures in response to patient status. The physical therapist assistant may engage in specific, limited data collection activities in order to assess the patient s response to the intervention, but for this purpose only. At all times the physical therapist assistant works under the direction and supervision of the physical therapist.

10 State Law The PT Practice Act within each state provides legal guidelines within the PT Practice Act The PT Affiliated Credentialing Board (PTACB) is within the Medical Examining Board for State of WI PT 5.01 Practice and supervision of physical therapist assistants and unlicensed personnel provided as 1 page handout

11 Background & Training

12 Parallels between PT and PTA Normative model for PT Education Normative model for PTA Education Program Accreditation by CAPTE Program Accreditation by CAPTE Guide for Professional Conduct (Code of Ethics) for PT Standards of Ethical Conduct for PTA
