@MHardyPTStudent @nikkimhansen @BrandonCSloan At that point visual and tactile cues are my go to. and making sure interpreters close #IHPFT2

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

@haradakaity With pts understanding what I know/don't know and being honest is helpful and redirecting them to the right sources #IHPFT2

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

@haradakaity Still working on it. What's helped is understanding each person's role/ what info I need from them/they need from me. #IHPFT2

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

@BrandonCSloan Yup! I like to explain step by step rather than all at the beginning. Keeps me on track and easier to update pt. #IHPFT2

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

@CaitlinFitzPT @hay_alexia @MonicaWarr_13 I think about what does he/she need to know from me/what do I want to convey. #Prioritize #IHPFT2

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

@CaitlinFitzPT Being concise yet thorough. It's an interesting tug of war! #IHPFT2

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

@MahaBerti I've had similar situations. Learned that IP communication is even more important in these cases #IHPFT2

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

@jcappadona_PTs @LindseyB2016 Agree! Thinking about the ICF model and prioritizing impairments before treatments helps me get a plan set.

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

@RLBrees Understanding the pathology and thinking about the home setup/social support has helped me gain confidence in D/c plans after eval.

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

@RLBrees I agree. Making discharge plans is tough when you know that pts' can improve in the matter of a day or two #IHPFT2

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

Making a breakthrough with a pt who hasn't made much progress in weeks is one of the greatest feelings ever #IHPFT1

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

Taught a pt diaphragmatic breathing today. Didn't expect to teach that in outpatient. Anyone else done anything unexpected so far? #IHPFT1

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

Talking to insurance companies to assess pt's need for more visits... Talk about nerve racking! #PatientAdvocacy #ihpft1

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

@Lincoln_PTs also pts seem to understand the concept of online notes. Have to find the right time to type ie. during exercise #ihpft1

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

@Lincoln_PTs I feel the same way, but it's so much more efficient! And def can't remember all of it after the tx session. #ihpft1

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

@Just_K_Bautista Yup! My first day in the clinic. Good point on patient advocacy. We have to respect their decisions. #IHPFT1

@bwhite676 @ethanTpravetz @BrandonCSloan check this out for more info. The last video explains brock string http://t.co/xs0YfUdYzp

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

@bwhite676 @ethanTpravetz @BrandonCSloan I've seen it used for patients' with convergence insufficiency and train the oculomotor system

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

A "Brock string" is an easy way of re-training TBI patients to develop efficient and accurate eye movements. #TreatTheWholeBody #IHPFT1

[Darshan Patel @dpatelPT]

10 evals last week, down to 2 this week. Nice to have some breathing room... To catch up on paperwork, of course. #IHPFT1
