What is PVA? Understanding the Patient Visit Average Metric.

A full video examining a small metric in the PT world? Perfect for my channel! PVA is a metric that therapists and other healthcare professionals use to help examine their practice and caseload from a different perspective. In this video, I explain what PVA is, how to calculate it, and what it means practically within the healthcare world. PVA stands for Patient Visit Average. It is a number that represents on average how many visits patients come to a clinic for after their initial assessment. We calculate it by dividing follow up sessions/assessment sessions, which means that it does not directly measure this! It is an average, and the amount of time we're examining is incredibly important.

For free videos about the human body, injuries, rehabilitation, the world of Physiotherapy, and whatever other shenanigans comes along. Maybe you can learn something new and not feel like you're stuck in a classroom waiting for the bell to ring. A Physio Named Jonah is a channel created by, well, exactly who you think. The channel features primarily Physiotherapy based topics, or things that it would make sense for a Physical Therapist to weigh in on. The goal is to make these often sterile topics interesting and easily accessible to anyone with a few laughs (or forced exhales from your nose if you're alone) along the way. Jonah is a Canadian Physiotherapist who works with a primarily outpatient orthopaedic population at a clinic in Sudbury, Ontario. He completed his Master's of Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto, with his Bachelors of Sciences specialized in Human Kinetics coming from The University of Ottawa. He is also considered by his parents, fiancee and 2 dogs to be a pretty cool guy.
