Physical Therapy Board reviews first-year progress on 2024–2029 strategic plan
Summary
At its June 26 meeting, the Physical Therapy Board of California received a staff update showing partial completion of tasks in its 2024–2029 strategic plan, with 6 of 80 action-plan tasks finished and most objectives still in progress.
The Physical Therapy Board of California received an update June 26 on first-year progress toward its 2024–2029 strategic plan, with staff reporting 6 of 80 action-plan tasks completed and 27 additional tasks under way.
The status report, presented by Sarah Irani, executive officer, summarized goal-level completion percentages and a task-by-task action matrix handed out to the board and posted online after the meeting. “Staff have completed 6 tasks in all goal areas with the exception of continuing competency,” Irani said.
Why it matters: the strategic plan guides board priorities across enforcement, licensing, outreach, organizational effectiveness and continuing competency. The report gives the board a baseline for resource allocation and for future reporting to stakeholders.
Staff showed the board goal-level completion percentages: enforcement 8%, licensing 13%, outreach and communication 6%, organizational effectiveness 6%, and continuing competency 0% identified as complete. Irani noted the plan contains 80 discrete tasks and the 6 completed items include consultant trainings, website reviews for currency, military outreach, and staff development activities. She said 27 tasks are in progress, amounting to work on 33 tasks this year and representing “41% progress” when counting completed and in-progress tasks.
Irani explained how progress is measured: if an objective has four tasks and one is complete, that objective shows 25% complete. She described scorecards and a matrix used to track measures of success, due dates and current status, tools provided by the Department of Consumer Affairs’ SOLID team.
Board members questioned how the plan’s reporting metrics interact with periodic board reporting. Member discussion noted some metrics call for a formal “report to the board,” which staff said would require the underlying tasks to be finished before a full update could be presented. Irani said timing of presenting a full update is at the board’s discretion.
On rulemaking and fees tied to continuing competency, staff said a workload study is underway to inform potential fee-setting regulation. “We are doing the data collection right now,” Irani said, describing the workload study as part of a larger study to determine fees for recognized approval agencies.
The board received the update with no public commenters on the item. The presentation and supporting materials will be posted with meeting materials online.
