About the e-PPE

The electronic Pre-Participation Evaluation (e-PPE) is an on-line medical questionnaire that can identify symptoms of health problems that may pose a risk for an athlete participating in sport and exercise.

Developed and tested by sports medicine experts and used by thousands of high-level athletes, the e-PPE is now available to individual athletes, athletic trainers, team physicians, primary care physicians, and sport administrators.

The e-PPE is a very powerful tool for obtaining important medical information that affects the health and safety of an athlete participating in competitive sport.  It includes the content recommended by the American College of Cardiology and the Preparticipation Physical Evaluation, Third Edition published by the:

American Academy of Family Physicians American Academy of Pediatrics American College of Sports Medicine

American Medical Society for Sports Medicine American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine

It improves the quality of the medical history by providing a standardized, consistent, comprehensive approach for athletes at all levels.

Confidentiality of personal health information (PHI) is assured with the PrivIT system of privacy and the e-PPE is compliant with international privacy rules including HIPAA and FERPA. The athlete has complete control over the sharing of their PHI data.

Form A - Consent to Participate in Athletics

After completing the questionnaire, summary forms can be printed to take to a physician or athletic trainer.  Form A (Consent to Participate in Athletics) provides medical authorization for participation.  Form B (Emergency Information) provides emergency medical information that can be kept on file by athletic trainers and sport administrators and used during travel.  Form C (e-PPE Medical History Summary) summarizes the positive and pertinent negative findings of the questionnaire.  Form D is a blank form for recording physical examination findings by a physician.

The e-PPE features the ability for sport administrators, school officials and athletic trainers to track athlete rosters and ensure each athlete’s PPE has been completed.
