 🩺 The Hidden Costs of Inefficient EMR Systems in Physical Therapy 🩺 As physical therapists, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional patient care. However, there’s a hidden cost that many of us may overlook: the time spent on passive note-taking.📊 Here are the numbers: Net Revenue per Visit: $115 (Illinois, ave) Time Spent on Note-Taking: 15% (conservative value) Cost of Note-Taking per Visit: $17.25 (15% of net revenue) When we break it down further: Weekly Cost (5-day work week): $2,760 Monthly Cost (22 work days): $12,144 Annual Cost: $145,728! This annual figure represents the revenue equivalent of 1,267 physical therapy visits lost to passive note-taking.💡 What can we do? Clinicians have the right to advocate for efficient and supportive EMR platforms. Inefficient systems are driving burnout and disenfranchisement in the industry. Don't wait for organizations to pivot to efficiency—every clinician has the power to be an agent of change. The time wasted on mindless and inefficient documentation is time taken away from patient care, personal well-being, and time that can be given back to the clinician. #PhysicalTherapy #Healthcare #Efficiency #PatientCare #EMR #RevenueManagement #Documentation #Therapists

Maximizing Quality and Expertise in Physical Therapy: Why wRVUs Matter The metrics we prioritize can make all the difference in delivering exceptional care. While visits per day have their place, it's time to shift our focus to Work Relative Value Units (wRVUs) per visit. Here's why: Reflecting Skill and Expertise: wRVUs highlight the complexity and quality of the care we provide. They ensure that our skilled therapists are recognized for their advanced techniques and comprehensive treatments. Encouraging Comprehensive Care: Focusing on wRVUs motivates us to spend the necessary time with each patient, crafting personalized treatment plans that lead to better outcomes. Therapist Control and Job Satisfaction: Therapists have more control over generating wRVUs than simply counting visits. This autonomy enhances job satisfaction and reduces burnout, fostering a happier, more productive team. While visits per day remain crucial for budgeting and planning, balancing them with wRVUs ensures that we don't compromise on the quality of care. By prioritizing wRVUs, we're not just improving our productivity but also elevating the standard of care we provide. Let's aim for a future where quality meets efficiency, and every patient receives the comprehensive, high-level care they deserve. #PhysicalTherapy #QualityOverQuantity

Being a physical therapist is hard. Being a physical therapist who owns their business is even harder. Now, you've already seen the report we (Prompt Therapy Solutions Inc) put out around why PTs are leaving the profession...it's a difficult trend to stop. (report listed below) Now, I am not a therapist, I do not own a therapy clinic, but the organization I work for is full of them. That's important for 2 reasons. ✅ As an organization, we empathize. Solving problems with technology is only one half of the equation. When you empathize with your customer base, it changes what you build, who you partner with, how you structure your support organization, how you engage and how you strategically align yourself more closely with how your "customers feel". ✅ Our "why" isn't about just solving our customers challenges. Because we are so emotionally tied to the therapy space, our "why" is solving industry problems for all therapists, regardless of what tools you use to run your business. If you own a therapy business and want to just talk through some of your challenges to learn about how others may have solved them, we want to hear from you. Not a sales call, but a conversation around what you're struggling with and how maybe our "network" might be able to help. #physicaltherapy #networking #communitybasedsolving #kindness Reference: https://lnkd.in/gzaQ3CGp

Embracing the Heart of Physical Therapy In the fast-paced world of healthcare, it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of documentation. However, as Physical Therapists, the essence of your profession is the exceptional personal touch that sets you apart. ⚖ Striking the Balance: While documentation is an integral part of your work, it should never overshadow the human connection you build with your patients. Avoid the image of therapists buried in laptops; instead, prioritize the invaluable time you spend with those in your care. 🤖 Unique Opportunities: Unlike many other healthcare providers, you have the privilege of spending meaningful time with your patients. Multiple sessions over weeks allow you to cultivate genuine relationships, paving the way for positive outcomes and loyal clientele. 📄 Mindful Documentation: When capturing your patient encounters, infuse the human thought process into every word. Your documents should not only serve legal purposes but also reflect the depth of your understanding and commitment to each individual's well-being.Keep the heart in therapy and ensure that, amidst the paperwork, your genuine connection remains the driving force behind the positive impact you make.  #AIPTTherapy #DocumentationMatters #PhysicalTherapyJourney #TherapistLife

There is a lot of negativity out there surrounding rehab therapy and the profession as well as the state of our future. But, rather than focusing on the negatives, (and believe me there are a lot of places we can improve) I choose to focus on all the ways that occupational therapists are naturally placed to excel. One area where our expertise shines is in virtual care and telehealth. Through my work at Reactiv, I've witnessed firsthand the benefits that telehealth offers both therapists and patients. As an OT, we thrive in helping people in their own environment. And what better way to treat a patient...than in their environment. My experience has shown me that this approach not only fosters a stronger rapport but also cements a foundation of trust and respect in the clinician-patient relationship. It also leverages technology to enhance our ability to treat patients more effectively (could go on and on about this). Yes of course, challenges and barriers exist, but the opportunity to innovate and advance our field by focusing on our strengths is far more rewarding. Let's not dwell on the past but instead, forge ahead, highlighting and expanding on the areas where OTs naturally excel. I'm curious 🤔 —what other positions or areas do you think are well-suited for OTs? Share your thoughts below and let's continue to focus on our strengths! #occupationaltherapy #rehabilitation #virtualcare #telehealth #digitalhealth
