The Council of Health Systems PT was established in June 2016. The CHSPT was established for those APTA members that practice in major health systems, which typically are organizations that consist of an acute care hospital and a combination of other post-acute care facilities. The organizations may offer care in a variety of integrated clinical settings, such as acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, home care, skilled nursing facilities, and outpatient clinics.

The goal of the CHSPT is to network with members in health systems to share best practices, and to facilitate innovative models of care, determining improved methods of measuring outcomes, improving care coordination across the continuum of care, and promoting the value of physical therapists in major health care systems.  The Council holds free networking webinars every other month to all APTA members and Council meetings at CSM and NEXT.

The CHSPT meeting at CSM will be held on February 22 at 6:30 AM at the Hilton in the Commerce Room.  There will be some food and coffee!  Anyone can attend!
