Abstract
Preparticipation physical evaluations (PPEs) strive to prevent injuries and sudden death in athletes. Ideally, the medical home is the best setting for completion. However, many school systems request large PPE screenings for their student-athletes. This quality-improvement project aimed to increase primary care provider (PCP) follow-up for athletes “cleared with recommendation” (CR) or “disqualified” (DQ) during our mass PPEs.
