Our Top 10 Commitments to Patient Satisfaction
- A functional index screen will accompany all initial requests for orders to evaluate and treat your patient, showing that physical therapy is “reasonable and necessary” under Medicare guidelines (CMS transmittal 63).
- Receive quality assessment data from The Outpatient Physical Therapy Improvement in Movement Assessment Log (OPTIMAL), developed by the APTA and recommended by Medicare as a measurement instrument to document objective, measurable physical function in patients.
- Participation in Medicare’s Physician Quality Reporting Survey (PQRS) and Functional Limitation Reporting.
- Evidenced-based treatment interventions (Guide to Physical Therapist Practice, APTA)
- 1:1 treatment for your patient by the same licensed physical therapist--not an assistant or aide--throughout their episode of care, ensuring ongoing reassessment and continuity of care.
- In-home safety assessment/fall prevention awareness included in your patient’s plan of care.
- Assisted device/adaptive equipment recommendations as needed.
- Prescription pads and patient education materials for your office.
- Family/caregiver training to augment patient care.
- Task-specific training where it matters most - in your patient’s own home.
