Using Multiphase Optimization Strategy and Human-Centered Design to Create an Integrated Model of Palliative Care Skills in Home-Based Physical Therapy for Advanced Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT: Background: Many older adults with advanced heart failure receive home health rehabilitation after hospitalization. Yet, integration of palliative care skills into rehabilitation is limited. Objective: Describe using the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST) framework with human-centered design principles to engage clinical partners in the Preparation phase of palliative physical therapy intervention development. Design: We convened a home-based physical therapy advisory team (four clinicians, three clinical leaders) to identify physical therapist needs and preferences for incorporating palliative care skills in rehabilitation and design an intervention prototype. Results: Between 2022 and 2023, we held five advisory team meetings.
