@csanchez_bos Teamwork is Dreamwork! Honored to work alongside you and learn from your critical thinking. #SconnieSpirit

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@RebelloMel great idea! I will have to try that! #ihpft2

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@Anamsp2016 I've found that bringing up a lack of safety with mobility is a straight beeline to open ears #safetyfirst #ihpft2

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@Elisa_Y_L @haradakaity @MHardyPTStudent my CI asks whats my plan before I go into the rm. Has helped me be clear in my plan/think ahead!

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@KHayes_PTs @LianaLitsky and then i secretly collaborate with my CI :) #sneakysneaky #ihpft2

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@KHayes_PTs @LianaLitsky yeah I say I have to grab something or step out to answer a page or that I need to put my clipboard out of the room

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@LianaLitsky @CaitlinFitzPT #IPDEUfordays! I didn't realize how much IPDEU taught me until this clinical experience!

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@CaitlinFitzPT accepting that communication is sometimes collaborating with someone else and then getting back to the patient #ihpft2

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@cconley2016 @jlussier11 @BrandonCSloan I struggle w/the elderly pts 2. don't want it to look like i don't care, but, keep moving PT along.

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@K_Josephsen I'm going to try that tomorrow with my super anxious patient! #thanksforthetip #ihpft2

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@K_Josephsen what kind of talk did she suggest? encouragement? cues? small talk? #ihpft2

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@LianaLitsky @RLBrees @hay_alexia we have IP rounds every morning which is VERY helpful with d/c planning& difficult pt topics (i.e. hospice

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@BrandonCSloan @MHardyPTStudent yes! interpreters can definitively bring an interesting aspect of communication to PT treatment #ihpft2

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@CaitlinFitzPT ideomotor apraxia = prime example for science of communication! functional cues all the time is harder than I thought #ihpft2

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@RLBrees @haradakaity @CaitlinFitzPT yes! I've learned that some patients would just like me to shut my mouth for a minute :) #ihpft2

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@CaitlinFitzPT communicating concisely what is relevant to each discipline. i.e. CM may not care that pt is mod A, but OT might! #ihpft2

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@TaarikaRGeorge wow! I can imagine I would struggle similarly. Maybe highlight gains that she has made? (if any…) #ihpft2

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@TaarikaRGeorge did she express struggling with any ADLs or functional activities? if yes, encourage pt that PT will help with that #ihpft2

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@K_Josephsen agreed! also helps if they are anxious to get up to tell them to stop and let me set up. #ihpft2

[Christiana Brock @clbrock13]

@CaitlinFitzPT my "on the fly" d/c planning has become easier which signals that I'm able to process current happenings better now #ihpft2
