Development and Validation of PT-PENCIL: The Physical Therapy Frequency Clinical Decision Support Tool to Increase Hospital Discharge to Home
This study developed and externally validated the underlying prediction model for a clinical decision support tool, termed Physical Therapy Frequency Clinical Decision Support Tool (PT-PENCIL), to identify patients most likely to benefit from daily physical therapy to discharge to home. Future work will evaluate the implementation of PT-PENCIL to determine its effect on patient-centered outcomes.
