TRANSCRIPT
3. Apply the major conceptual and psychometric criteria to evaluate when selecting measures
4. Provide examples of positive deviants who are using system data inside and outside the PT profession
5. Apply the principles of diffusion of innovation to the widespread adoption of PT innovations
6. Discuss the use of the AM-PAC to implement system skills in physical therapy clinical settings.
7. Develop and design a quality improvement project utilizing the TRIP model. 8. Organize and write an administrative case report in approved format. 9. Undergo up to three iterations of the case report with their advisor in a collegial
manner. 10. Differentiate various information sources, identify applicable databases, and
perform an efficient literature search. 11. Analyze and synthesize the relevant professional literature to produce an
appropriate literature review for the administrative case report. 12. Construct outline of proposed administrative case report including relevance,
setting, design, implementation plan, and outcomes assessment. 13. Construct clear operational definitions of all variables used.
III. TEACHING METHODS
The teaching methods 1) some didactic information presented on-line and 2) student-centered active learning. In this portion the student will communicate with their assigned advisor a minimum of biweekly throughout the course. The advisor will provide guidance in content and structure of the report, review drafts, and assign pass/fail grade. The assigned advisor will guide the written project with a minimum of 3 iterations.
IV. ASSESSMENT Capstone Project Paper 100% A. The student must satisfactory complete a one page proposal outline that is to be
submitted to the course Instructor. Upon acceptance, an advisor is assigned. B. The final paper should include a basic description of the system innovation, a thorough
literature review (using APTA guidelines for publication), statement of relevance to health services or policy, descriptions of setting, steps taken in the development and implementation of new process, and outcomes assessment should be developed. A thorough discussion of application of the TRIP quality improvement model should be included.
C. The final case report paper will be graded with one of the following grades: credit or no credit (CR/NCR). If a grade of No credit is awarded the student will be required to re-submit the Administrative Case Report Proposal having had a discussion with the course instructor and advisor.
D. Candidates unable to complete AHHS 593 by the course completion date will receive an incomplete grade (I). The incomplete must be resolved within 3 months of receipt, otherwise a failing grade will be issued and the course must be repeated with an
additional tuition charge.
GRADING
It is expected that the student will COMPLETE THE ASSIGNMENTS INDIVIDUALLY (see UM School of Physical Therapy Honor Pledge). The student needs to complete the exam in the allotted time (5 hours) and may use any electronic or published resources needed. GRADING SCALE A = 90 and above B+ = 87-89 B = 83–86 B- = 80-82 C+ = 77-79 C = 73-76 The grading criteria will follow the policy of the School of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science (see student handbook) with a passing grade being a “C” and a 73 percent. All students must practice academic honesty. Academic misconduct is subject to an academic penalty by the course instructor and /or disciplinary sanction by the University. Any evidence of cheating or plagiarism will result in failure of the course. All students need to be familiar with the Student Conduct Code. The Code is available for review online at http://www.umt.edu/SA/VPSA/index.cfm/page1321.

CLASS SCHEDULE LECTURE OUTLINE: DATA INTEREST: Why is measurement important in contemporary PT practice? Face into the Storm (Hislop and Jette McMillan themes) Importance of high value health care for patients and society Defining HIGH VALUE health care: the health outcomes achieved/ per dollar spent Importance of measuring HEALTH OUTCOMES in addition to PROCESSES and COSTS Process measurement: The concept of QUALITY AND QUALITY INDICATORS HEDIS indicators Inside the ‘black box’ of PT interventions Outcome measurement: The purposes of outcome measurement The users of outcomes data (Intrinsic vs. extrinsic purposes) Uses of data beyond patient care planning
Determining which outcomes to measure Conceptual framework for outcome measurement (ICF) Instrumented, performance-based, and patient reported outcome measures
Psychometric criteria for evaluation of outcome measures Example: The AM-PAC DEVISING SOLUTIONS:
