Implementation of a Core Set of Outcome Measures for Adults with Neurologic Conditions at the Physical Therapy Ambulatory Care Center of Rusk Rehabilitation 1911

The purpose of this presentation is to illustrate the implementation of the Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy CPG: a core set of outcome measures for adults with neurologic conditions at an ambulatory site within Rusk Rehabilitation at NYU Langone Health treating adults with neurologic conditions, using the Knowledge-to-Action (KTA) framework. Over a six-year period, we successfully implemented this CPG using the KTA cycle implementation framework. We achieved and sustained high levels of compliance (80% and higher), compared to initial levels of 0% compliance. This presentation will briefly review the KTA cycle to orient the audience to the framework used for this implementation project. The presenters will explain how they performed each step of the cycle from identifying the practice gap to its sustaining phase using intervention and strategies derived from implementation science. The presenters will reflect on this experience, highlighting their successes, barriers and lessons learned along this 6-year long implementation project.
