Presidents MessagePeter J. McMenamin, PT, MS, OCS

RESPONSIBILITY

Responsibility. That's the word haunting methis late snow-covered Sunday evening, emergingfrom the holidays with that familiar sense ofsurprise that theypassed so quickly,disappointment in realizing all I foiled toaccomplish, relief at return to normal routines,and hopeful anticipation tora new year. Newresponsibilities in mylife, to besure. Butalso,much more than that In world news: US

elections create new political realities; tsunamiwave of destruction changes our world; the warin Iraq. In health care news: President Bushvisits Collinsville, IL (site of our 2004 IPTAconference) to support Madison Countyphysicians battling for malpractice reform;HealthSouth settles to the tune of $325 million

on multiple federal fraud charges related to "longstanding business practices in its outpatientphysical therapy business and improprieties in itsinpatient rehabilitation business," according toAssistant AttorneyGeneral Peter Keisler, head oftheJustice Department's civil division.

Responsibility: The Responsibility ofcitizenship to make a wise choice for presidentand legislators; Responsibility of the nation tofunction effectively and morally in a violentworld; the Responsibility to assist those sufferingafter the tsunami (is $35M enough - how about$350M - or $700 million?). In each caseanswers are not crystal clear, and the degrees andqualities of Responsibility are matters of personalandsocial self-assessment. Should we feel greater

\

sympathy for physicians whose profit margins aresqueezed, or for patients injured by allegedmalpractice, or for the other patients who maylack access to the physician specialists whoallegedly moved out of state? In thebest of allworlds, what is the states Responsibility here?

In the case of the Department ofJusticesettlement, the question of Responsibility is the800 poundgorilla we do not see in the middle ofthe room. The obvious questions no one isasking: What was the Responsibility of thephysical therapists who treated the patients?Who signed offon the notes of services allegedlyprovided by unlicensed personnel? Who knewwhat? When did they know it? Did they reportit? Did they care? Do physical therapists have anethical or legal Responsibility to know andunderstand howtheir professional services arebilled? Easy to blame the anonymouscorporation! Can one claim to be a professional

President's Message continued from Pageand be blind to die financial accountingof one's services? What would/should the

"autonomous practitioner" do in thesituation?

REALIZING THE PHYSICAL

THERAPY VISION

In mycandidacy statement I pledgedto mobilize our resources for the

realization of Vision 2020. Once againthat word Responsibility comes to mind.As Joe Black, PhD (recently retired SeniorVice President, Education Division

APTA) has repeatedly challenged us:"Autonomous practice" and "doctoringprofession" are realities that must beearned. They arenot a reward or a prizeor privilege, but radier the result of theblood, sweat, and tears of commitment to

best practice based on scientific evidence,by physical therapists who have learnedthe discipline and manifested the courageof taking hill Responsibility for thetherapeutic relationship with the patientand for the clinical judgment inherent inthat relationship.

THERE IS NO ARMY OF ONE!

No physical therapist can learn thescience of physical therapy alone, normaster the art of empathy andcommunication with a patientalone, norhone thesharp edge of logical and criticalthinking alone, norbecome a "clinicalexpert" or "specialist" alone, nor functionas "autonomous practitioner: alone.Collegialiry is thedynamic that makesthese attributes of professionalism possible!Without the interdependence ofcollegialiry, forget about professionalism -forget about"autonomous practice" -forget aboutVision 2020!

RESPONSIBILITY OF

PROFESSIONALISM

Some of our colleagues seem to thinkthat belonging to the Association is, inessence, a subscription to a journal and adiscount to attend continuing educationsponsored by the Association. Suchthinking makes it easy to rationalize

dropping membership to save a few bucks!The flaw ni that thinking is the faifl

to understand the nature of a professionand a professional association - the failureto grasp that the very foundation of aprofession is the fact that its membersprofess - profess to a code of ethics,profess to a bodyof knowledge, and to asystem of practice, all of which originatefrom, aresustained and protected within,and are passed-on by that collectivitywhich is the bodyof membersconstituting the profession. Divorcedfrom the life of this professional body oflearned and committed individuals, one's

professionalism loses its nutrient source,and atrophies. Isolated from the naturalecology which spawned it, the professionallife cannotsurvive, and is extinguished.No physical therapist who claims to beinga professional can afford to ignoremembership in the professional body thatis the lifeblood of the profession.

IDEAS FOR RENEWING THE

PROFESSION

In thesebimonthly columns I intendto share with you, my hopes and dreamsand specific suggestions for renewing ourprofession in Illinois, i.e., for making thecollective bodyof physical therapists astronger force to be reckoned with, a moresolid foundation capable of supporting themodern practice of physical therapy. Hereis a start:

1) Enforce the Practice Act. Ourprofession in Illinois derives its authorityfrom the people through the voice of theIllinois General Assembly which createdour Practice Act. The practice act definesour scope of practice within thestate,imposes responsibilities and obligations,and confers certain privileges such aslicensure. If we fail to understand,

enforce, update, and improve our PracticeAct, we do so at our own peril, and to thedetriment of the public! Therefore I wjjbe proposing that IPTA invest indeveloping appropriately researched

— continued onpage 3

PTPRIORITY - February /March 2005

President's Message Continued from Page 2

icational materials thatwill giveibers, non-members, as well as the

public, clearer understanding ofwhat isrequired bythepractice act, andwhat isprohibited byit.Thegoal ofsuch materialswill beto help this profession better policeitself, i.e., to enforce thepractice act andthus discourage violations bybothlicenseesand non-licensees. Such materials should

address specific practice scenarios thatmayrepresent violations. Our ability to providethepublic with thequality ofphysicaltherapy services it deserves isdirectlyproportional toourwillingness to step up tothe plate toenforce theproper, legalpractice ofphysical therapy.

2) Mobilize Facility-Based Leadership.Most volunteer organizations, includingother professional associations, arecomplaining about thedecline ofparticipation and volunteerism - the so-called "bowling alone" phenomenon. InIPTA, ourDistrict structure ishurting, for

^^very reason, as participation has fallentIto decline over the past 20 years even asourmembership has continued to grow. Iwill propose thatwefocus our effortsdifferendy. Throughout ourstate, we haveinstitutional entities where physicaltherapists work andcongregate andwherephysical therapist leaders (clinic directors,specialists, andsupervisors) play a vital roleevery day. We need to find a way to bring

the resources ofour professionalism to theseinstitutions. However, our current IPTA

data bases do nothave thecapability to tapinto these natural leaders and natural

meeting places of physical therapists. I willpropose thatwe develop thecapability tolink upwith these existing networks ofphysical therapists soas to stimulatemembership growth, and empowerourselves to make the profession what itshould befor thebenefit of thepeople ofIllinois.

3) Mentor ourEntry-Level PTs. Aprofession thataspires to autonomouspractice and that ison thecusp ofbecoming a "doctoring profession" needs tomake sure thatwe are providing adequatementoring to our entrylevel members. InIllinois a large majority of new PTs aregraduating with Doctor of Physical Therapydegrees, but thementoring they receive aftergraduation has barely advanced (and mayeven have declined) since the days whenentry level practitioners graduated withbachelors' degrees. Avasdy more complexhealth care system and science of physicaltherapy demand a more profound trainingand mentoring of new graduates. I willpropose thatwe look seriously at improvingphysical therapist practice byrequiring aperiod ofmentoring for new graduates.There is no reason whyIllinois shouldnotbe in the lead when it comes to innovations

in physical therapist practice!These suggestions along with other ideas

for renewal will be thesubject ofconversation and planning at our Boardmeetings aswell aswithinourAssociationsstate Assembly. I hope you will join theconversation too. Please write to me to

express your views. You can emailme [email protected],

CONTINUITY

I want to thankour outgoing PresidentBarb Sullivan forher four years of devotedservice asPresident, and for making theleadership transition smooth. During ourrecent Strategic Planning retreat, facilitatorMary Sinnott, PT (from Temple Universityphysical therapy school in Philadelphia)commented on the high degree of respectand collaboration she noticed amongmembers of IPTA Board and leadershipteam. This compliment isa credit to Barband to the long line ofother professionalleaders whohave graced our Chapter formany years. I feel most fortunate to joinsucha distinguished line, and to beentrusted with the opportunity to play apart in building the new physical therapyreality for 2020.

Facility Spotlight:Provena St. Mary's Hospital

The physical therapy department atProvena St. Mary's Hospital, Kankakee, is agrowing department consisting of 10physical therapists and 4 physical therapistassistants. Kankakee is 60 miles south ofChicago and serves a rural and southsuburban population. "We are a part of acommunity hospital, and as a result, we seemany different types of patients," says PattyScheets, PT, DPT, NCS, Physical TherapyDirector. "Our staff has to be skilled in

caring for patients with all types of acuteand chronic pain syndromes, balanceproblems, dizziness, wounds, lymphedema,and the list goes on," Scheets continues.

In an effort to establish clear practiceguidelines for a broad spectrum of patients,the staffhas adopted a diagnosis forphysical therapy based approach. "Weadopted the set of Movement ImpairmentSyndromes described by Shirley Salirmann,PT, PhD, FAPTA, because it was the mostcomprehensive system we identified forpersons with musculoskeletal painsyndromes," says Scheets. She continues, "I had developed aset ofdiagnoses for physical therapy for patients withneuromuscular conditions which we also use." Both of thesesystems focus on identifying the movement related factors that

In addition to the diagnosis-based approach, thestaff hasplaced a great deal ofemphasis on continued learning. Overhalfof thestaff have completed or are in process with advanced

Illinois Physical Therapy Association PT PRIORITY - February /March 2005

Time for IPTA Members to Build Bridgesith NeW Legislators Tim Hennessey, IPTA LobbyistThe 94th General Assembly will

inaugurate seven new members to theIllinois House and one to the Senate on

Wednesday, January 12th, 2005. Therecent election of this freshman class of

legislators appears not to shift theDemocratic majority; however there willbe a loss of one Democratic seat in both

houses.

Illinois has a slightly complex systemfor Senatorial terms and is oudined

specifically in the Constitution. Quitesimply, the decennial legislativeredistricting process determines terms.Illinois is divided into legislative andrepresentative districts as evenlyaspossible and spread as fairly as possiblethroughout the state and is determinedby the census, or population throughoutthe state. One Senator is elected from

each legislative district. These districts

are divided into three groupswithvarying combinations of term lengthsbetween two and four years.Representatives are elected in simplerfashion in that each legislative district isdivided into two RepresentativeDistricts. One Representative is electedfrom each Representative District for aterm of two years.

The new members will be

introduced into the General Assemblyand then assigned their respectivecommittees. IPTA members are

stronglyencouraged to take thisopportunity to meet their newlegislators and become a resource forthem on health care, physical therapypractice and the patients you treat.

94th General Assembly House MembersJohn D'Amico (D-15, Chicago)

ft)id You Know?The PT Practice Act amendment

signed by Governor Blagojevich in2004 now requires the use of thedesignations "PT" and "PTA" as theonlyofficial designations for licensure,effective immediately.

This benefits the public by endingthe confusion overuse of competingdesignations such as MPT, DPT,MSPT, RPT, LPT, etc.

APTA has long recommended thefollowing order for listing designationsafter ones name:

1. Licensure designation (in IL: PTor PTA).

2.Academic degree (e.g., MS, MPT,DPT, PhD, etc.)

3. Specialty or other designations(e.g. OCS, PCS, GCS, MTC, ATC,etc)

^A Now, the Illinois PT Practice Act^^nakes it mandatory that physical

therapists use the designation "PT" to


indicate licensure, and that physicaltherapist assistants use "PTA" toindicate licensure. Proper licensuredesignation is mandatory, asa publicprotection measure.

Academic and specialty designationsshould be listed after the licensure

designation, and arestrictly voluntary.These extradesignations maybe usedor not used, according to personalpreference. However, professionalsignatures for patient documentationmust include at least the licensure

designation.The following is the language from theIllinois Physical Therapy PracticeAct:

(225ILCS9012) (from Ch. Ill, par.4252)

What Your Patients Are Reading m™ Goehring, PTWatsuFit Magazine

January 2005

The January issue of FITmagazine includes a brief, butinformative article entitled

"Watsu: This unique watertherapy taps into our primalstate with transformational

results." This is a relativelynew technique of warm waterexercise that has been

an oriental massage where thefingers are pressed onparticular points of the bodyto ease aches, pains, tensionand fatigue. Like acupuncture,Shiatsu is thought to relievemany kinds of chronicproblems. However, unlikeacupuncture, Shiatsu is notwell researched.

Watsu was developed in the1980's by Harold Dull, thenDirector of Harbin Hot

Springs School ofShiatsu and Massage.He took the

principles and movesof a Japanese form ofmassage called ZenShitsu into the

supportiveenvironment of warm

water. Watsu is

performed in a warmwater environment

typically 92 to 96degrees F. Itincorporatesstretching,coordinatingbreathing and gentle,supported movement.

The warmth of the water and

the support provided by thewater's buoyancy are said toproduce deep relaxation.

Becauseof the rhythmicflow of movement in the

water and the deep relaxation,this technique is said to allowa person to enter a meditativestate. The article indicates that

warm water therapy canprovide the opportunity foremotional as well as physicalrelease, and goes on todescribe how clients receivingWatsu have reported deeprelaxation and release of stress.

A BalancedApproachSki Magazine

Jantuny 2005

The January 2005 issue ofSKI Magazine has aninteresting and informativearticle about balance entitled

"A Balanced Approach." Thismight be a good article tohave on hand to share with

patients who hate the exercisesyou ask them toperform. Maybe theywill begin to visualizethemselves on the ski

slopes with freshpowder and deep bluesky.

Balance has alwaysbeen important inphysical therapy. But,as this article pointsout, athletes may notconsider balance

exercises to be

important until theyhave had an injury. Aswe therapists force

balance activities, most ofwhich can be done at home. It

quotes some Olympic skierswho work daily on balanceactivities. There is reallynothing new to most physicaltherapists, but it may provide^important information to aVpatientwho dreams of skiing.

If your patients needadditional motivation or some

ideas how to enhance their
