@haradakaity also gone so far as stepping out of the room to clarify if I am stuck. Patients usually seem to understand. #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@haradakaity communicating through the patient, ie explaining my plan and thinking to the patient, but really to my CI too #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

how about communicating with CI? I have had to work hard to make sure my CI understands my thinking and plan of care #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@MonicaWarr_13 @dpatelPT @nikkimhansen @BrandonCSloan or establish a code, even a simple "OK" vs "not OK" #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@haradakaity @BrandonCSloan making jokes is a tricky topic. Don't want to be misunderstood and important to maintain professionalism #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@nikkimhansen @BrandonCSloan or how about when you have to leave the interpreter to go walk in the hall? #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@BrandonCSloan I agree. Also had trouble trying to distinguish when i was talking to patient vs CI vs interpreter #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@clbrock13 @RLBrees @haradakaity @CaitlinFitzPT also important to just give the patient time to process if needed. #ihpft2

@LarryYanPTs hey non-related, check out new issue of Journal of Strength & Cond for new research on FMS!

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@sam_young1700 and with d/c education for patient and family, making sure to prioritize the important points #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

communicating with a translator (in person or via audio) can really slow down a session - be prepared! #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

Communicating with patients with cognitive impairments often requires constant adaptation to effectively provide instructions/cues #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@LarryYanPTs @PTsDini intriguing discussion about current research sparsity on FMS as predictor of injury @ http://t.co/mJNYTND8Fs #IHPTFT2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@KeshrieN @MonicaWarr_13 no but I am planning to write more specific "checklists" this weekend in that same vein.

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@MahaBerti @MonicaWarr_13 @KeshrieN or finding ways to consolidate lines, ie getting a portable tele to match the portable O2 #IHPFT2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@TylerDPT2016 @DrEvilPTstudent 100% agree. It takes concerted effort to not get "stuck" in my methodical eval routine #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@KeshrieN @RLBrees Midterms have helped me realize that setting concrete goals for myself is critical to improving as a PT, too. #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@dpatelPT @RLBrees ...or if they can regress, ie due to an infection. It's important to prepare for multiple outcomes. #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@MonicaWarr_13 can't agree more! Again planning steps ahead helps ensure the environment is safe for the patient. #ihpft2

[Michael D Hardy @MHardyPTStudent]

@RLBrees great point. Planning multiple days in advance and developing concrete goals makes future sessions smoother #ihpft2
