Expertise from throughout the profession has been harnessed to create the Physiotherapy Health Informatics Strategy (PHIS)
Although numerous digital and informatics strategies have been published in recent years by different organisations, their impact on the physiotherapy profession has been limited. None of the strategies focused exclusively on the profession so, at the end of 2021, the CSP began developing the PHIS alongside subject-matter experts, the DIPG and CSP members.
Evidence for the PHIS
The literature search and gap analysis that led to the development of the PHIS are in pre-publication with an internationally renowned journal. They will be shared on the website once published.
