Job Description

Physical Therapist (PT) – Clinical Quality & QAPI

Make an Impact on Patient Care—and Clinical Excellence

Join an Award-Winning Home Health Team! BAYADA at Bayhealth is proudly recognized as a 2026 Best Home Health Agency by U.S. News & World Report.

Are you an experienced home health Physical Therapist who is passionate about delivering exceptional patient care and improving clinical outcomes? BAYADA at Bayhealth is seeking a full-time PT for a unique role that combines direct patient care with dedicated time to support clinical outcomes and Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) initiatives.

Spend about 80 % of your time providing one-on-one physical therapy to patients in their homes, and about 20% of your time focused on QAPI and clinical quality improvement. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference for your patients while helping strengthen care across the team.

Prior Medicare-certified home health experience is required. Homecare Homebase (HCHB) experience is preferred.

What You’ll Do

Deliver Exceptional Patient Care

  • Evaluate patients, develop individualized plans of care, and provide skilled physical therapy services in the home.
  • Help patients improve mobility, strength, balance, safety, and independence through evidence-based treatment.
  • Collaborate with physicians, caregivers, and interdisciplinary team members to coordinate high-quality care.
  • Complete timely, accurate clinical documentation and monitor progress toward patient-centered goals.

Drive Clinical Outcomes & QAPI Initiatives

Partner with clinical leadership on QAPI activities and initiatives to improve patient outcomes and quality of care.

Review clinical trends, documentation practices, and quality measures to identify opportunities for improvement.

Help develop and support action plans, process improvements, and follow-up activities related to clinical quality.

Share clinical best practices and provide constructive education and support to field clinicians as appropriate.

Collaborate with office and clinical teams to promote consistency, compliance, and continuous improvement.

What You Bring

  • Active PT license in the state of DE.
  • Prior Medicare-certified home health experience required.
  • Strong clinical judgment, documentation skills, and commitment to evidence-based care.
  • Interest in QAPI, clinical quality, coaching, and continuous improvement.
  • Excellent communication, organization, collaboration, and relationship-building skills.
  • A desire to grow professionally and contribute to future clinical leadership opportunities.

Why This Role Is Different

You will remain connected to the work you love—caring for patients in their homes—while having dedicated time to influence clinical quality beyond your own caseload. Your perspective as a practicing PT will help translate improvement opportunities into practical, meaningful changes for patients and clinicians.
