What are you reading lately? Re reading this valuable clinical practice guideline. After implementing this back in 2019, the content and goals of the CPG really stuck out to me and this aligns exactly with the work we are trying to do at Adventhealth and through our learning health systems community. These goals include (not all): 1. Standardize the use of core set of OMs to assess changes over time in neurological physical therapy within and among facilities. 2. Facilitate comparison of outcome across interventions, providers, and patients within and among diagnostic groups through use of a common set of measures. These goals strive towards value based care. #anpt #adventhealth #neurologicphysicaltherapy

For patients in our care, the journey to the happy, rewarding life they deserve begins with understanding their diagnosis and developing healthy ways to manage their wellbeing. Our programs are rooted in evidence-based therapeutic modalities to help patients achieve their goals, and we are rigorous about measuring their progress along the way.    This year, Discovery Behavioral Health partnered with Brigham and Women's Hospital, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, to review the outcomes of more than 17,000 patients. The 2023 Outcomes Report includes their assessment of our in-treatment outcomes.      To read the 2023 Outcomes Report and learn more about how we are changing lives for good, head to the following link: https://ow.ly/obze50QiVQh    #behavioralhealth #behavioralhealthcare #accessyourbestlife  #changinglives #changinglivesforgood
