Informativo World Physiotherapy - Outubro 2020

 

October 2020    A World Physiotherapy está produzindo uma série de artigos informativos que exploram o impacto do COVID-19 na educação, prática e questões de defesa de direitos. Estamos agora trabalhando em um artigo de briefing sobre a prática digital. Queremos nos basear nas experiências de fisioterapeutas e incluir alguns estudos de caso no documento informativo. Alguns países / territórios já oferecem serviços de fisioterapia para prática digital, incluindo telessaúde, há algum tempo. Com a pandemia COVID-19, esses serviços viram um grande aumento na prevalência e a diversificação das populações atendidas. Além disso, surgiu como um novo modelo de prestação de serviços em outros países / territórios. A World Physiotherapy quer entender mais sobre as lições aprendidas neste ano e as implicações para o futuro da fisioterapia e da prestação de serviços. Além das contribuições de nossas organizações membros e subgrupos, estamos coletando feedback de fisioterapeutas individuais por meio de uma pequena pesquisa.   Share your experience of digital practice in our online survey   Confira a seguir o texto original em inglês: World Physiotherapy is producing a series of briefing papers exploring the impact of COVID-19 on education, practice, and advocacy issues. We are now working on a briefing paper on digital practice. We want to draw on the experiences of physiotherapists and include some case studies in the briefing paper. Some countries/territories have had digital practice physiotherapy service provision, including telehealth, for some time. With the COVID-19 pandemic, such services have seen a major increase in prevalence and the diversification in populations served. In addition, it has emerged as a new model for service delivery in other countries/territories. World Physiotherapy is keen to understand more about the lessons learned this year and the implications for the future of physiotherapy and service delivery. In addition to input from our member organisations and subgroups, we are gathering feedback from individual physiotherapists via a short survey. Deadline: 30 November 2020 Take part in our survey about digital practice
