It traces the history and evolution of ED PT, identifies inefficiencies in traditional workflows such as triage design, ED zoning, and inefficient pathways through case examples. It then reviews evidence on how EDPT can reduce time, cost, and resource use, and provides best-practice recommendations covering serious-condition screening, accurate diagnosis, prognosis for follow-up, interventions for high acuity, and safety, fall risk, vestibular management, and modality value.",{"@graph":69,"@context":122},[70,84,105],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":35,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/maximizing-the-patient-experience-in-the-emergency-department-ed-physical-therapy-pt-to-the-rescue-outline-2017/444633/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"image":86,"author":91,"headline":65,"publisher":94,"fileFormat":97,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":98,"datePublished":99,"encodingFormat":97,"isAccessibleForFree":100,"interactionStatistic":101},"DigitalDocument",{"url":87,"@type":88,"width":89,"height":90},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/maximizing-the-patient-experience-in-the-emergency-department-ed-physical-therapy-pt-to-the-rescue-outline-2017/444633.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":92,"@type":93},"4398046744996","Person",{"url":74,"name":95,"@type":96},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-29",true,{"@type":102,"interactionType":103,"userInteractionCount":19},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":104},"ViewAction",{"@type":106,"mainEntity":107},"FAQPage",[108,114,118],{"name":109,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":111},"How is PT in the emergency department (EDPT) described historically and how has it evolved?","Question",{"text":112,"@type":113},"The outline covers initial EDPT efforts to establish the role of PT in the ED and then describes how ED PT services evolved into a desired option among informed clinicians.","Answer",{"name":115,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":116},"What inefficiencies in traditional EDPT practice are highlighted?",{"text":117,"@type":113},"It examines issues in the triage system, differences across ED physical areas (observation, trauma, fast-track/non-urgent), ED layout/blueprint, and provides case examples of inefficient pathways, including specific clinical scenarios.",{"name":119,"@type":110,"acceptedAnswer":120},"What best-practice recommendations does the outline propose for EDPT?",{"text":121,"@type":113},"Recommendations include screening for serious conditions, fracture and red-flag spinal pathology assessment, evidence-supported diagnostic testing and test clusters, prognosis-driven follow-up planning, interventions for higher acuity or anxiety, and practical safety considerations such as fall risk and vestibular condition management.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":124,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":95,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":126,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":128,"site_id":62},444633,1791183179,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":131},{"doc_id":128,"user_id":132,"nickname":92,"user_avatar":66,"doc_module":4,"category_id":34,"category_name":35,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":133,"file_id":134,"file_url":135,"file_type":136,"file_size":137,"view_count":19,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":8,"language":138,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":139,"faqs":140,"seo_title":141,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":142,"read_time":81,"preview_page_count":4},4398046744996,"Maximizing the patient experience in the Emergency Department (ED):  \nPhysical Therapy (PT) to the Rescue!  \nI.
