Physical therapy in the emergency department: a new opportunity for collaborative care.
In this paper, the authors reviewed emergency department-initiated physical therapy (ED PT), an emerging resource in the United States. They conclude that both physicians and patients view ED PT services favorably, and that ED PT is associated with the improvement of several important clinical and operational outcomes. They also suggest that hospital systems interested in building their own ED PT program may benefit from the key steps outlined herein.

The reduction in ED and hospital admissions in medical home practices is specific to primary care-sensitive chronic conditions.
The purpose of this quantitative observational study was to determine whether the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) transformation reduces hospital and ED utilization, and whether the effect is specific to chronic conditions targeted for management by the PCMH in the study setting. The investigators found that PCMH transformation reduces hospital and ED use, and the majority of the effect was specific to PCMH-targeted conditions.
