Area of Science:

Health Policy
Professional Licensure
Interstate Compacts

Background:

The Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) initiated the Physical Therapy Compact (PTC) in 2010.
Interstate compacts are agreements between states for specific policy purposes, enhancing patient care and professional mobility.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline the development and implementation process of the Physical Therapy Compact (PTC).
To highlight the benefits of the PTC for physical therapists, patients, and consumers.

Main Methods:

FSBPT followed the Council of State Governments' (CSG) recommended stages for compact development: Advisory, Drafting, Education, Enactment, and Transition.
Strategic partnerships were formed with the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and CSG.

Main Results:

The enactment phase commenced in 2017 when ten states passed the compact legislation.
The PTC aims to improve physical therapist workforce concerns and licensure portability across states.

Conclusions:

The Physical Therapy Compact (PTC) is anticipated to be fully operational by mid-2018.
The PTC will facilitate short-term mobility and telehealth consultations for physical therapists, benefiting patients and consumers.
