Objectives

• At the end of this section, the participant will: – Understand the systematic approach of KT applied in the

initiative and the intent of accelerating optimal use of the best available research evidence

– Describe rehabilitation as a means for developing skill in home health practice

– Describe evidence-based task-specific training principles

– Apply observational analysis during the patient examination when identifying the cause of the patient’s activity limitations

– Recognize the value of using standardized tests in clinical practice

– Identify strategies to increase intensity of a treatment session in order to maximize progress

Company

• Gentiva Health Services

• 40 States

• Greater than 200 locations nationwide

• Over 350,000 patients served/year

• Over 2500 therapy clinicians

• Proprietary Specialty offerings

• Oversight by Rehab Director

The Need

• Not unlike most Home Health Agencies – “Do more with

less.”

• Efficiency and Consistency in clinical care

• Increase the utilization of EBP

– Evaluation

– Activity and Participation Limitation Identification

(by task specific practice)

– Proper Intensity of the Intervention

– Leading to proper documentation of patient progress and

outcome

• Pre-training clinical documentation review conducted within 5 branches

to allow post-training analysis.

The Aim

Support and re-energize our therapy

field leaders and clinicians by

delivering immediate updates to

specialty content and clinical skills

based on latest science, in a way

that allow for immediate adoption into practice.

KT - Janes, Nordman, Otis, Scheets 2

The Formula

• Five questions to be answered as posed by

Grimshaw et al

1. What knowledge should be transferred?

2. To whom should the research knowledge be

transferred?

3. By whom should the knowledge be transferred?

4. How should the knowledge be transferred?

5. With what effect should knowledge be

transferred?

Grimshaw et al. Knowledge translation of research findings. Implementation Science. 2012 7:50.

What knowledge should be transferred?

• Evidence Based Best Practice

• Skilled Examination and Evaluation

• Task Specific Practice

• Intervention Intensity

• Documentation

To whom should the research

knowledge be transferred?

• Direct to consumer! – Alternative to “Train the Trainer”

1. Clinical Leaders

(Branches with Rehab Director oversight)

2. Direct to Clinician

By whom should the knowledge be

transferred?

• Company Experts (controlled consistency)

oMatt Janes, PT, DPT, MHS, OCS, CSCS

o Laurie Otis, PT, MBA, MHA, GCS, COS-C

o Patty Scheets, PT, DPT, NCS

o Jennifer Ellis, PT, DPT, MS, GCS, COS-C

– Did allow secondary trainings at the clinician level via

Directors of Clinical Operations and Rehab Directors

How should the knowledge be

transferred?

• Stakeholder Buy-in

• Virtual Classroom

• Bite size doses

• Over a 5 month period (June through September)

• Knowledge checks modules (virtual feedback/response)

• Application learning – Mini “Labs”

• Clinical Support Tool “Gentiva Therapy Guide”

• Recorded Sessions for availability – Module 1 – 2758

– Module 2 – 2441

– Module 3 – 2146

• Post-training follow up

With what effect should knowledge be

transferred?

• Behavior Change

– Adoption of Evaluative Testing

– Activity and Participation Limitation Identification

(by task specific practice)

– Inclusion of Intensity Validation

– Post training documentation analysis

Task Specific Training

Laurie Otis, PT, MBA, MHA, GCS, COS-C

Skill Acquisition

Consistency

• Performance over multiple trials or sessions

Flexibility

• Performance under a variety of conditions

Efficiency

• Performance with a certain level of energy expenditure

Independent and Skilled?

DAILY ACTIVITY

• Picks up the newspaper after 7:00 AM and the mail

before 4:00 PM if delivered timely

• Ambulating with a single point cane without assistance to

and from the mailbox at the end of a 50’

driveway

• Negotiates 2 steps to go in and out of the

house

– Grasps door frame for balance and support

– Rests in a chair after negotiating the steps

• Completes the entire activity in 20 minutes

• Rates the activity a 13 on the BORG

(perceived exertion)

Task-Specific Training Defined

• What is a Task?

– Space between Body Structure/Function and Activity

• Body Structure/Function = muscle performance, timing, and balance

• Activity = walking from the living room to the kitchen for dinner and

returning to the living room

• What is Task-Specific Training?

– Goal directed

– Coordinated movements and/or sustained postures

– Replicate some component of daily activities

– Aim towards reconstruction of the whole activity

– Reinforced with positive and timely feedback

functioning, disability and health (WHO)

4. What will you monitor?

5. How will you progress the task?

Task - Stair Tap

• Preparation for obstacle

negotiation, stairs, and change of

direction during ambulation

• Task demands:

in a single session and across

sessions

• Identify overall progress

towards functionally based

goals using objective

measures

Challenge of the task

Task Performance (consistency; flexibility; efficiency)

Making it Work for YOU in Your Practice

• Adopt a new routine

1. Rehabilitation is about skill acquisition

• Maximize consistency, flexibility and efficiency

2. Make Task-Specific Training your priority intervention

• Differentiate what you do in treatment

from the home program

3. Develop a new task that fits with your

patient’s specific needs

reliability and validity through the procedures of

administering, scoring and interpreting results in

a consistent and predetermined standard

• Tests and measures are used as a measure of a

patient’s progress or relative outcome

Knowledge-to-Action Process

Outcomes

Outcomes

Measures of clinician empowerment, engagement, support,

“energy” and adoption into practice

– Number of OT and PT staff who completed training

• Target: ≥ 50% of target audience

– Result: average attendance across all 3 modules 67.7%

– 2966 employees completed one or more of the modules

– “I feel I will be able to apply this information to my practice.”

• Target: ≥ 70% Agree or Strongly Agree

– Result: average across all 3 modules 89.8%

Chart Audit Results

Convenience Sample

• 4 therapists from each region

Reviewed 5 completed records prior to training and 5 completed records after training

• Possible adherence scores range from 1.0 to 0.0

Home Health Section

Platform Presentation

Friday, February 6

3:00 – 5:00 pm

• 3:20 – 3:40 pm

Opportunities

• Present < 50% of the time after training

– A 2-minute walk test was completed during the Physical

Therapist’s evaluation

– Strength training was implemented using an intensity of at least

60% of a 1-repetition maximum identified using the Borg RPE

scale to identify the intensity

– An RPE rating was provided for at least 1 activity from the

Physical Therapist’s evaluation

– Sessions are of appropriate duration and intensity (using Borg

or HR) to build CP capacity if documented as a problem

– Standardized tests are used when reporting progress

Additional Opportunities

• Increase prevalence of task-specific training in post-

operative cases

• Progress strength training by adding resistance (intensity)

rather than adding repetitions

• Summarize progress in terms of skill consistency,

flexibility, and efficiency rather than advancement of

exercises

• Do more gait speed training rather than gait endurance

training

KT - Janes, Nordman, Otis, Scheets 16

Strengths of the KT Project

• Recognized need company-wide • Therapist engagement

• Therapy practice

• Re-stabilization in company structure • Therapist in senior leadership

• Local structure for therapy support determined

• Operational support for training • Wanted to see behavior change

• Trust in the product to be produced

• Senior leadership support • Resource allocation

• Enthusiasm among local therapy leaders

• Available technology and technological expertise

• The “Therapy Guide”

Limitations of the KT Project

• Short timeline for development

• Inexperience with virtual classroom for clinical teaching

• Activities to reinforce learning were optional • Few local leaders implemented follow-up activities

• Competing priorities • EMR

Sustain

Sustainability

• Modules made available for CEUs

• Reinforced concepts and use of “Therapy Guide” in other

projects

• Intermittent chart audits • RPE ratings more consistently used now

Summary of Key Points

Large scale KT Intervention

Training converted theoretical constructs to concrete

behaviors

Clinicians did change behavior

Organization support critical

Competing priorities are a factor

Consistent clinical message with lasting clinical support

tools increases likelihood of sustaining change
