Embedded Emergency Department Physical Therapy: Groundwork for a Future Multi-Site Effectiveness-Implementation Trial.

Howard Kim, MD, MS
Northwestern University

ABSTRACT:
Low back pain is a common reason for patients to visit the emergency department (ED) yet our current care model is suboptimal. Patients continue to experience pain and disability following an ED visit for back pain and clinicians frequently utilize low value care. Physical therapy can be an effective non-pharmacologic intervention for low back pain but is typically offered only by appointment in dedicated clinics. This presentation will describe our foundational work building an embedded ED physical therapy care model for low back pain, share results from a recent single-site randomized trial, and discuss our plans for a future multi-site trial on the application of this care model to other clinical conditions such as dizziness/vertigo.

Increasing the Uptake of Effective Addiction Health Services via Dissemination and Implementation Science

Sara Becker, PhD
Northwestern University

ABSTRACT:
This presentation will describe a program of research focused on increasing the uptake of effective health services for persons with or at risk of substance use disorders. At the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to: (a) define key concepts in dissemination and implementation science; (b) describe efforts to increase access to addiction health services using an array of implementation frameworks, strategies, and outcomes; and (c) identify key resources for integrating dissemination and implementation science principles into their own work.
