APTA Acute Care Nominating Committee Members
Guest Quotes:
15:46 Leslie “ I would say I've really enjoyed the nominating committee so far… And it wasn't necessarily even something that I was thinking about, but I'm so happy that I said yes and took that leap. You get to see the inner workings of the academy without kind of from the outside, looking in and get an idea of what everybody's doing. Without necessarily having to Jump in full fledged.”
17:30 Brigid “That was actually definitely my motivation for running for the position. So Leo pinged me for it. And the first time I was like, no, I don't really know a lot of people in the Academy. Like most of my like networking and like colleagues and stuff has been in the pediatrics Academy because I'm pediatric acute care. But I really wanted to get involved in the acute care Academy. So after the second email, I was like, you know, you're right,this is my end to like network with people and meet people and start volunteering in a role.”

Guest Quotes:
9:02 “There was like in high school, one of those profession fairs where the counselors come to talk about different professions and they were talking about the doctor, the nurse, the lawyer. And then all of a sudden I even remember where I was sitting in this auditorium, when they said, and there is a professional physical therapy, this profession helps patients recover and they set this example. For example, if you have a patient that is in a car accident or if they have a stroke, the physical therapist helped them walk again. At that moment, I felt like That is exactly what I want to do. And I honestly don't even remember what came after that because I kept thinking about, Oh my God, there's somebody that helps people walk again.”
26:25 “The part that was most impactful to me is they did a phenomenal job in the bomb shelter, all of the walls in the hallway. Once you get down there, there are pictures of patients that were injured during the war and have pictures like one family that the whole family had amputations and the physician who is, she's the director of all of the ICUs, you could see her explaining about that family and what they went through and you could see in her voice, how hard it was for her to talk about that. She went through all of the pictures on the wall and really educated us about what was happening to that country and how civilians, how people just like us were being affected. So that was a very powerful moment.”
30:20 “I'm going to share with you because this was one of the unique moments:
For all of us, I was teaching one of my classes and the director of the ICU came in with the the director of all of the ICUs with the director of the ICU, one of the ICUs, and then translator came to me and said, Chris, the doctor is asking if you can interrupt your class for a moment. I said, sure. She needs to address all of the doctors.
And she went there, that was, we have been there for about four days at this point. She went there and she told the physicians. I want you to please listen to the Americans. You have no idea what they have done to our patients in the past. Wow. Our patients that were on the ventilator, that we didn't think that they could be extubated.
Not only they are no longer on the ventilator, but they're not in ICU anymore. And she was saying that now we have all of these beds in ICU because our patients are leaving the ICU. And please listen to the Americans. They know what they're talking about because we are only four days. And it already changed what hospital that gives me chills.”

Guest Quotes:
What's the origin story of the Bridge the Gap conference?
1:44 Melissa “There were gaps between kind of disseminating and implementing information from the classroom to the clinic, and then also from research published evidence into real world settings with all the barriers and constraints and things that go on within the health care system. And so thinking of those gaps we really sought to have a conference where people could come together around those topics and try to improve and, and bridge those gaps.”
On BTG Speakers
13:33 Melissa: “…we're really, really intentional about trying to get all kinds of different perspectives from different stakeholders. So we had rural, we have large hospital, we have administrators, we have clinicians we have academics who are trying to like take complex patients and how do we weave that into a curriculum? …we did our best to get a comprehensive view of what it means to take evidence and innovative ways and move it into practical application.”

Guest Quotes:
2:44 “physical function is a really, really important predictor of how successfully people are going to transition to the next level of care. And when I say successful discharge, I don't just mean readmissions…if you ask patients what they care about, that's not necessarily what they're going to say is they're not going to say, I don't want to visit the hospital in the next 30 days. And then after that, I don't care. They really care about being at home, being able to age in place successfully, being able to functionally improve. So PTs have a lot to do with, you know, helping patients reach their goals and things that are maybe not exactly the same as the things your hospital system says are important.”
6:54 “Acute care PTs never know what happens to that person when they leave. They can't close the loop on equipment or modifications or caregiver training that they recommend. And you're hoping that everything goes smoothly with a care, you know, transition where that person gets the home care that you recommended or goes to outpatient that you recommended. But you don't have You know value from your organization to say we're going to consider it productive time for you to call and follow up …”
15:26 “I think one of the issues I have with productivity systems that are built on touching people is we really have created a volume based model. And do you really feel like you're able to address every person's need comprehensively? When, you have, you know, more credit for initial evaluations or new patients or metrics to see every patient within 24, 48 hours, right, it's, if we started highlighting the value of these other things, maybe there's advocacy and support and budgets at the hospital for more therapists or people to take on different roles.”

Guest Quotes:
Brian 14:07 “There are some excellent clinicians out there and there are some excellent researchers out there and there's some excellent operations managers out there. But how often do you find an operations manager who is also pretty, pretty adept at the literature base and applying it clinically? How often do you have a clinician who understands operations and on a regular basis can tie it back to how they're increasing or decreasing length of stay. And how often do you have researchers who are actively embedded within acute care…but it's rare to find someone who is an active clinician. An actively publishing, disseminating researcher who is also excellent at clinical operations. And so, being able to pull it all together.”
Kyle 18:15 “one of our chief nursing officers in our system always says the wisdom is at the bedside. And so if we're trying to decrease length of stay, of course. Brian is an operations economics expert. He can help us model that he could be thinking about. Hey, we need to process map this out. I need to understand what we're doing. But the clinician might have the secret sauce that says here's the bottleneck and here's the problem and them and Brian together can fix it and come up with a potential solution.
And the researcher that the data minded person can say, well, and you know what, if you really want to answer that question, Brian, here's the data you need to collect or you can't answer that question, but you can quantify this. And I think that and that's why all of those levels are important. And it's important to connect them from top to bottom and side to side.”
Rapid Responses:
If you can have lunch with one person from past history, who would it be?
Brian: “I'm going to go from current history and also past Willie Nelson, who is the star of Texas and poet laureate, and he's still around for a little bit longer. So I'd love to sit down with him.”
What other podcasts would you recommend to our audience?
Kyle: “The Knowledge Project with Shane Parrish”
You know you work in acute care when:
Brian: “When you love things to fall down all around you continuously and that you're challenged to pick up the pieces and somehow make it better than it was originally.”
Kyle: “I'm going to say when you're called everything but a therapist, every other profession that can work.”

From December Critical Edge (More information):
Seeking Academy Members to “Swim in the Shark Tank” at CSM 2024
In this open call, we are seeking budding investigators to submit their idea, for the chance to pitch it live… to a panel of six expert “sharks” at CSM 2024!
Have you ever had a clinical question you thought could turn into a project? Or a project that just can’t seem to get off the ground? Are you unsure how to take a great idea all the way to CSM?
Those selected will give a 3-5 minute “pitch” of their idea at the conference. Our panel of “sharks” will talk through the challenges and triumphs of conducting clinical research and offer specific feedback and guidance. Contact Research Committee Chairs or submit your idea directly.
Everyone is encouraged to join us in the very first Academy of Acute Care Shark Tank at CSM 2024, for a great dialogue about bringing science into practice!
Guest Quotes:
3:21 Kerry “The goal of the Shark Tank is basically to create a mentorship type relationship, create connections around the country. You know, connect like minded individuals who have experience doing these types of projects ranging from really sophisticated research projects all the way down to how do I just operationalize a systematic change here at my med center…”
5:53 Rich “But I think there's so many stories from clinical practice that don't get told just because people don't have the means to do it, right?...And this is a great opportunity for clinicians who are trying to test the water.”
6:57 Josh “I don't have to be the one that asks the questions, I get to partner with clinicians who have much more relevant questions than I could possibly ask. And we get to bring those to the forefront…”
26:44 Daniel “I think that the end goal is that we provide better care. Like that's the end goal for any of the things that are coming. So if you're a person who's thinking, I wish we could do this better, or I wish we knew how to do this better or what to do better. Those are the people and the ideas that we need here.”
27:28 Kyle “We want our time and investment of this individual to help them grow to be better to able contribute in their local environment, whether that's a 40 bed critical access community hospital or 1000 bed academic center and improve the care of their patient populations, given the challenges and the people that they serve.”
Rapid Responses:
What's your favorite scrub color?
Kyle: “It's got to be Caribbean blue. Cause that's what I'm mandated to wear. So that went down in the brand. Let's do it.”
You know you work in acute care when:
“You value your relationship with the CNAs and the environmental service employees.”
Kerry: “The smells. You just know”
Danny: “You have to change into scrubs because you got poop on the original ones.”
Kyle: “When you end your day and you're not sure if you've done any therapy. “

Guest Quotes:
16:37 “I think it's not only just important for ourselves to be able to find a little bit of that inner peace but it's also really important with our patient interview, because if you can't still your mind while you're asking the patient all their subjective information, if you can't make that connection. You're not going to have real good rapport with that patient. So if you can't find that stillness in yourself…”

Guest Quotes:
2:24 “Even experienced clinicians also have a lot of difficulty prioritizing a lot of these patients and, and really, at least for acute care, palliative care, the nice thing is about palliative rehabilitation is one, it really helps the patient.
So it's the right thing to do to get them where they need to be.”
4:29 “The confusing thing in acute care is the patient can be exactly the same as they were yesterday and they get quote unquote discharged from the hospital and automatically readmitted under a hospice benefit...but they elected to go on hospice, and then basically their opportunity to work with therapy was arbitrarily discontinued.”
13:17 “So palliative care really is patient centered care and goal oriented care, which we really should be doing for everyone”
Rapid Responses:
Shoes you would recommend to wear on acute care?
“Something cheap so you don't have to scoop poop out of them.”
You know you work in acute care when:
“When you know what it means when someone has different scrub colors on the top and the bottom. Everyone knows the secret signal of they're wearing purple top and they've got green bottoms.”

4:57 Krissy “So residency is a really great way to get all of those advanced practices done in that year and fill in the gaps.”
14:41 Krissy “You're self selecting into that elite path to be the best clinician that you can be. Also, you're also advocating for PT within the hospital, what our role is. So we do so much interdisciplinary collaboration. You're automatically elevating how we're seen as a profession within the hospital.
19:26 Beverly “The other research that we're seeing across the board is that residency education in general: increased speed of the career trajectory. Increased salaries…Rapid movement into leadership positions or teaching positions…they've got research presentations, whether it is at a chapter meeting, whether is it combined sections. We've had residents who participated in the Academies clinical practice guidelines on outcome measures. Now the residents are embedded in scholarship.”
20:58 Beverly “Data on acute care residencies is even in a short period of time, we have the 41. acute residency graduates. And we had 31 respondents. So a very large percentage of the of the alumni of acute care residencies. And they very clearly had a ramping up toward leadership, towards teaching, toward research, toward career development, all of the things we wanted to see.”

Guest Quotes:
2:48 Erin On Why PT isn’t more involved with Pregnancy and Postpartum care “One of the big ones is that I think it's a society we just don't really value maternal care as much as we do some other diagnoses.”
6:19 Jenna “But what are the social determinants of health that this individual has an acute care therapists are The best highly qualified in order to address that.
I don't think that there's any other setting that does as deep of a dive of someone's home environment, their support system that they have, what are what are the duties they have to go back to doing and then actually trying to simulate it in the hospital before they go home.”
10:26 Rebeca On Taking Vitals with Activity“We have to fill in the gap as therapists with every single patient population. The OB population is no different.”

Guest Quotes:
2:55 “There's too many people talking and not enough people actually doing something about it. And, you know APTA is 100, 000 members strong. If everyone just did a little something we'd We'd really be able to make some progress. You know, the other issue and I'm getting on a soapbox a bit is we only represent about 30% of the profession. Imagine if we had 50%. Imagine if we had 70%. And the most are usually those that aren't a part of the solution, and we need to motivate others to join and become a part of the solution.”
18:56 “And so we have all this evidence that that early mobility is effective and safe and decreases costs, decreases vent days, decreases whole bunch of stuff, but we're still not there yet. We need to as a profession, promote best care and decrease the variance.”
28:04 “I don't think I've ever seen a nurse stop a nephrologist from seeing a patient. So, we need to have that same mindset.”

Guest Quotes:
12:57 Abby: (on getting involved) “I found an opportunity that was just enough for me to feel like I was involved. But wasn't overwhelming and adding a large load to me.”
20:10 Lindsay (on interview/resume tips) “anything else that you can put on there that shows that you are truly interested in the experience. You care because I think we look for people who are passionate about this setting, not just doing it to like, try it out, get some experience and move on to something else. But people who want to grow and develop and stick around for a long time. And there are a lot of little things that you can do to show that.”
25:51 About the Upcoming Town Hall: “So it's mostly for students to be able to ask questions about a lot of these topics and more.
How to prepare for clinical and acute care, how to transition from students to being a acute care P. P. Should you do a residency or not? So we have some therapists on the panel from different hospitals across the country with some different perspectives and different ways that they went about the job search and that transition.”

Guest Quotes:
6:19 “having the ability to look people in the eye, talk to them and know how to listen is, it's a lost art.”
15:55 “We are clinicians, we have the ability to identify deficits and we are losing that in some cases because we're trying to opt for the volume. So, I would say it's the quality of what we provide that's really critical. The quality of our assessment skills, looking at how the foot hits the floor, looking at the body chain, looking at, what is slowing this down?”
26:23 “so to Leo, to answer your question, what a new grad can do, what an experienced therapist can do. Sometimes the best thing that you can do is don't ignore. The little things because the little things make a huge difference. So if somebody looks like they're not walking, well, step back and assess and see what, what are they not doing well.”
26:54 “But if we always treat the patient like it's the last time we're going to see them, then we know we've done as much as possible.”

Guest Quotes:
8:56 Katie (on taking a role as an acute care tech): “I’m glad that I took that leap into acute care just because I've learned how like rewarding it is. And part of me feels like I'm really making a difference. Especially being like that first step for most patients.”
16:34 Katie (on a patient experience that got her hooked on acute care)
“But it's just the fact that he went from, you know, I'm not doing it. I'm done. Get out of my room. Right. Yeah. We're strolling down the hallway listening to Spotify, talking about his like four and five year old grandkids. Yeah. It's just like, granted, I don't know where he went from ltac. And that's the unfortunate part is sometimes we just don't know mm-hmm. Where these patients go, but just at least knowing that, you know, in the time that you were in their lives. They've gotten so much better…Sometimes being a physical therapist is more than just the physical part. You know, sometimes we're kind of like those emotional cheerleaders too.”
21:05 Katie (on advice she received from her professor on acute care) “I would rather teach someone how to walk again than try and teach someone how to throw a baseball more properly. Those are just kind of words that she quite literally told me. Orientation day one. Its stuck with me now.
33:31 Abby “My mom was a physical therapist. But she was an inpatient rehab therapist. And so growing up, like that's really the side of PT that I knew. Like, honestly, it was like backwards from a lot of people… She's my origin story. Yeah. So she she did inpatient rehab and so then I was like, oh, I just kind of assumed. Physical therapy was like always more of like more acuity or more complex patients. And then it wasn't until I was honestly like getting my hours in undergrad that I was like, Oh, actually outpatient is the biggest sector of this.”
31:34 Abby (on getting involved in a Student SIG) “I just would encourage students to try it because I was hesitant at the time. We were gearing up for our hardest semester and I was like, you know what, I can't add another thing to my plate. But looking back, I'm so glad that I did. Once I kind of was able to get my time management and everything. So yeah, just go for it would be my advice and talk to people above you.”
43:36 Abby (on a patient experience that got her hooked on acute care):
“We were helping a patient who's on mechanical ventilation. And it just really brought the humanity into the hospital room was kind of how I felt…
And we know why we're doing it. Like, we're doing it for, you know, cardiorespiratory system. We're doing it for digestion system for skin, all of that. Yeah. But we did it so that the patient could hug their significant other. So we, like, got them to the edge of the bed, and they hugged each other.
And, like, so we know, like, we're providing therapy, and it's all these good benefits. But at the same time, like, it really is, like, optimizing their human experience. Like, they get to hug their significant other who they haven't in weeks. And just, like, that moment, honestly, I get emotional even thinking about it.”

Guest Quotes:
6:18 Brett: “something I recommended that if they (students prior an acute care rotation) could get a day in a hospital setting and actually put their hands on some of the different equipment and see it and see it being used so that they kind of internalize what it is used for.
It's not just on a PowerPoint side with a picture. You memorize what it's for for the test, but it's completely different when you actually see it. Use every. Item for the most part. Once I seen it once in a room with a patient, I knew what it was. I could describe it. I knew what it was used for, but it was just gaining that experience that took a lot of time.”
18:06 Brett: “I think the biggest thing to focus on is just getting comfortable with the lines, the tubes, the rooms, and the setting in general. For me, practicing in the setting wasn't that difficult. There was a lot of things to learn once I got comfortable in the room, but when you're worried about things, you can't think, and then everything else just doesn't go well. Yeah, so that's for me that that would be the biggest thing to focus on is spending a lot of time being intentional with the, the room set up, the lines, those things so that you can gain confidence right away.”
28:05 Tito “But that one just exposed me to it, like a different aspect of acute care that had to do with a lot more, with like how to coordinate interprofessionally and then dealing with at least on where I was, there's less resources just more poverty. And just being on an island, there's less that people have access to. So it brought on kind of more of the people skills as well. And just like communication was like the biggest thing there too.”
36:03 Tito “I think as students we tend to feel like embarrassed or even like, kind of ashamed that we don't know certain things or that certain things aren't coming to mind right away. So so just asking (questions) because like why not? And if, and they could always open up the conversation for a CI to be like, Hey, like, you should know this. You should spend some time reviewing. So like asking questions for sure.”
37:15 Ashley “I think students expect to go out there and they're just gonna know how to do it because, oh, I had all these classes, I should be able to just go out there and apply it. But it's not easy and it's okay. To not to know. Right. It's okay to need practice. It's OK to make mistakes.”
Rapid Responses:

Guest Quotes:
4:31 Noelle: “Every location is just a little bit different. But I think the thing that ties us all together is that we're passionate about acute care and we're passionate about education.”
4:44 Katie: “A theme that I see that's common between a lot of our members is that, you know, there's no formal training for what they're doing. They either created the role or it was kind of thrust upon them in some form or fashion because they demonstrated leadership skills in mentoring or onboarding or just elevating the profession in that way.”
12:52 Noelle (on the webinar): “We just talked about kind of how it got started in each of our different locations and what our roles are and just trying to give people a little bit of an idea of how they might be able to get it started in their own organization.”
22:04 Katie (on the pros of being a rehab educator): “It allows me to practice at the top of my scope and make sure that I'm pushing the envelope in a positive way. Like I'm not just a person who just comes up and walks people. I'm gonna have a really strong discussion about the benefits of mobility and how I can serve the team and reach the patient's functional goals and also and not be held back by like not knowing how to use a piece of equipment or something along those lines.”
