Aims
The aim is to implement the Fun & Intensive Therapy (FIT) model to improve patient outcomes and manage physiotherapists' workload.
Background
Physiotherapists frequently worked late, and additional help was often required. The FIT model was introduced to address these issues.
Methods
The FIT model involves specific criteria for patient participation and adjustments in rehabilitation frequency and productivity.
Results
In three months, 12 patients showed significant improvements in function, surpassing the minimally clinically important difference. Patients and physiotherapists reported positive experiences.
Conclusion
The FIT model is effective in improving patient outcomes and managing physiotherapists' workload. Outcome measures showed significant improvements in the Berg Balance Scale, 10m Walk Test, and Activity Measure Post Acute Care.
Lessons Learnt
The FIT model helped manage workload and improve patient care, but required careful planning and implementation.
