It is important to test #skinsensation prior to applying heat modalities. One early PDSA 'experiment' might be to 1. survey who conducts skin testing prior to modalities to obtain baseline measures and 2.Present an inservice presentation on results and next steps #UBC_EQIPT2019

An initiative for fast tracking discharge on acute surgical wards after joint replacement sounds like a great initiative. One #balancingmeasure could be rates of readmission for infection #UBC_EQIPT2019 💡

When changing #workflow, buy-in can be hard due to the #wehavealwaysdoneitthisway" mentality. How to help the process? Offer a set trial period and collect #feedback from the people that are affected! #UBC_EQIPT2019

@2Ubcmpt Great point, @2Ubcmpt! 👏Love your thinking. Considering events of PT treatment refusal, maybe we could be more mindful of gloving up prior to obtaining consent. Love the conversation!

Does #waste in #physiotherapy happen? Yes! For example in #hospitals using gloves for each patient even when they do not have precautions adds up very quickly to #waste #UBC_EQIPT2019. What can we do? Think twice before gloving up! 👋

#qualityimprovement in #physiotherapy starts with asking the right #questions about how #physiotherapyservices are being used. Example who is accessing #privatephysiotherapy and what types of treatment are they receiving after surgical intervention? #UBC_EQIPT2019
