Summary

This study gathers expert physical therapists to agree on when it's important to check vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure during outpatient therapy. About 100 experienced therapists will complete three rounds of surveys to build consensus. The goal is to create a decision-making tool that improves patient safety without adding unnecessary steps.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could create a simple checklist to help physical therapists decide when to check blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital signs, potentially preventing complications.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage consensus study, not a clinical trial testing a treatment. The final algorithm may not be widely adopted or may need further validation in real-world settings.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of licensed physical therapists who are considered experts in outpatient care. To qualify, participants must have at least five years of clinical experience in an outpatient physical therapy setting, and be proficient in English for reading and writing. All participants must provide informed consent and agree to complete three rounds of the e-Delphi survey process. Recruitment will occur nationally through professional networks, including American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties (ABPTS) listservs, state physical therapy associations, licensure boards, and social media outreach. Snowball sampling will be used by encouraging participants to share the study invitation with other eligible colleagues. The target population represents experienced clinicians who can provide expert input on decision-making for vital sign assessment in outpatient physical therapy.
