    Re: Prioritizing case load

    When I worked in Orthopaedics is was:
    1. Day 1 post-ops and discharges (sometimes the same people!)
    2. Routine post-ops and stable spinals (eg TKJR, THJR)
    3. Mobility patients

    In medical:
    1. Any new respiratory pts or who will die without me seeing them (not many on the wards)
    2. Follow-ups from 1, new mobility referrals
    3. Ongoing mobilities, rehab on ward pts waiting to go to rehab

    In Acute neuro:
    1. New patients and anyone at risk of respiratory deterioration (eg GBS)
    2. Follow-ups who will deteriorate if not seen
    3. Rehab on ward patients

    In Surgical and ICU:
    1. ICU patients and surgicals at risk of deterioration
    2. New post-op surgicals
    3. Mobilities and rehab (eg fem-pop bypasses)

    I liked alophysios list too for keeping it simple

    Re: Prioritizing case load

    Yeah good information and feedback here to the reply. But what does the Guide for the Practice of Physical Therapist emphasize regarding that? Please, mention some relevent information from that if any?
