You can't get away with that in the North: Manifesting professional practice amidst ethical dilemmas in rural, northern, and remote communities #livinginthegrey

[UBC MPT Group 1 @MptUbc]

@Ubcmpt1 PT is part of a multidisciplinary team, we want to ensure that implementing our Tx doesn't negatively impact other Tx. For example, when working with a pt on supplemental oxygen, it's important to monitor SpO2 and maintain O2 levels as to not exacerbate other medical conditions.

Many clinicians try to find ways to ‘convince’ patients to buy into treatment plans. The focus needs to shift toward strategies such as motivational interviewing to develop a rehab plan centered around the patient. #UBC_EQIPT2019 #patientcenteredcare

@Group4Ubcmpt @TheIHI This is a really great point you made about inequity due to funding and less access to health care resources! Do you think there are other aspects of inequity with this population when you look at stigma and ostracization and its effects on health care access? #UBC_EQIPT2019

One MPT1 group will evaluate barriers for women with breast cancer who want to access rehab services in the Lower Mainland. This addresses QI as it allows participants to indicate barriers for service. A PDSA approach can be used to implement strategies identified #UBC_EQIPT2019

Delays in patients seeking PT care can impact their health. An example of this is when pts are discharged following orthopedic surgery to remote communities limiting access to rehab, and further inhibiting gains in ROM, strength and functionality. #UBC_EQIPT2019
