Even with increased healthcare operational costs, there remain ways to boost revenue.  Novant Health, for example, looked at its top revenue-generating services and made pinpoint enhancements. For orthopedics and cardiology, for example, they increased patient access and satisfaction by promoting same-day appointments and optimizing operating room use through cross-functional collaboration. This approach led to a 10% increase in both patient volume and experience scores. Fostering collaboration and enhancing revenue generators can help healthcare organizations grow their income in a competitive market and open themselves up for long-term success.

Optimising Exercise Prescription for Low Back Pain Online Course Designed for healthcare professionals, this course focuses on the behavioural mechanisms and adjunctive processes in exercise prescription for patients with persistent non-specific low back pain. Funded by Orthopaedic Research UK and based on a realist review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the course examines 'What works for whom, in what contexts and why' framework. Participants will explore the Context-Mechanism-Outcome (CMO) theory to understand how and why specific outcomes occur with particular interventions. This approach complements traditional systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Please note, the course does not provide specific exercise prescriptions or comprehensive training on assessing chronic low back pain. It is tailored for professionals with existing knowledge in this area.

At Kinetix Medicine, we were founded by a group of dedicated doctors and frontline healthcare providers who recognized a gap in how patients experience orthopaedic care. We saw the need for a more collaborative, multidisciplinary approach—one that removes the hassle and puts your well-being first. Our mission is simple: to simplify the process, speed up diagnosis, and offer the most effective treatment under one roof. We believe in compassionate care and are proud to be a trusted partner for both patients and their doctors. Here, you’re never just another case—you’re part of the Kinetix family. #KinetixMedicine #VancouverHealth #OrthopaedicCare #MultidisciplinaryCare #PainReliefJourney #ChronicPainRelief #PatientCare #CollaborativeHealing #Kitsilano #HealthJourney #JointHealth #WellnessCare #BCHealth #MedicalTeam #AdvancedHealing

While Plethy's Recupe supports Remote Physiologic Monitoring (RPM) for orthopedic, spine / neuro, pain groups, and health systems. We are constantly asked by these groups if we have a solution for their associated Physical Therapy (PT) groups who see patients from outside. Yes, we do. We have been extremely successful in our Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) offering to PT groups. Patients are engaged and follow their PT prescribed care plans between clinic visits. Recupe, with RTM, is making a significant impact by: ·      Improving patient adherence to care plans at home. ·      Providing PT with objective recovery and patient-reported data. ·      Encouraging and reminding patients to go to their PT visits – Thereby reducing cancellations and no-shows ·      Creating new growth opportunities for PTs and their clinics. With quantitative and qualitative recovery metrics, we're raising patient outcomes and engagement to new heights. #Recupe #RemotePhysiologicMonitoring #orthopedichealth #spinehealth #neurohealth #painmanagement #physicaltherapy #PTGroups #RemoteTherapeuticMonitoring #rtm #patientengagement #PatientAdherence #CarePlans #patientoutcomes #healthtech #healthcareinnovation #patientcare #healthcaresolutions #digitalhealth #physiotherapy #patientmonitoring #healthsystems #RecoveryMetrics #healthcaretechnology #patientempowerment #healthcareaccessibility #virtualcare #medicaltechnology

In a recent study published in @The Lancet, nearly 1000 children with torus fractures were randomly assigned to receive either a bandage or splint treatment. The provision of a bandage demonstrated equivalence to splint treatment.

We invite you to audit the implementation of these resources and share your findings. How many visits can be potentially saved with this approach?

This one is for all my MSK colleagues... Following on from an excellent post by Alastair Jones last week highlighting the value of the multidisciplinary team and the work going on with Simply MSK LTD I wanted to further emphasise. In the field of musculoskeletal (MSK) healthcare, patient outcomes can be significantly improved through a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach (Schmutz et al 2019). By bringing together the expertise of physiotherapists, sports medicine physicians, radiologists, podiatrists, sports rehab/therapists, orthopedic surgeons, and other vital specialists, we can address the complexities of MSK conditions more holistically. 🤝 Why is this so important? MSK conditions are often multifaceted, involving a combination of physical, neurological, and often psychosocial factors. By integrating and appreciating diverse perspectives, we can: ✅ Ensure a more accurate diagnoses - Get it right the first time ✅ Provide tailored management plans ✅ Optimise rehabilitation and recovery ✅ Reduce the risk of persistent pain or re-injury ✅ Enhance patient satisfaction Studies show that patients receiving multidisciplinary care report faster recovery rates and higher satisfaction levels, emphasizing the role of teamwork in healthcare settings (Schmutz et al 2019; Lemieux-Charles & McGuire 2006). 🩺⚕️ My personal thoughts and experience: 💬 "Interdisciplinary care not only improves patient outcomes but also fosters a more robust learning environment among practitioners, elevating the standard of care" In the coming weeks I will look to continue to shine a light on our wonderful multidisciplinary team and their vital roles in the management of specific knee conditions. Watch this space. In the meantime let's continue to break down silos and work together to provide the best care for our patients! 🌱 #SimplyMSK #MSKHealth #Collaboration #PatientCare #MultidisciplinaryApproach #Physiotherapy #SportsMedicine

(It's not paranoia). VERY surprised not to see Neurosurgery on this list. Perhaps they don't have time to read and respond to Medscape surveys.....

Training fast twitch muscle fibers is crucial in the rehabilitation of patients with orthopedic and neurological conditions. The BalanceTutor system by MediTouch company effectively targets these fibers, promoting rapid muscle activation and improving neuromuscular reactivity. Incorporating such innovative technologies into rehabilitation programs can significantly improve patient outcomes, enhance mobility, and enhance functional independence. By focusing on the rehabilitation of fast twitch muscle fibers, healthcare providers can better address the specific needs of patients with impaired rapid movement capabilities, ultimately fostering more comprehensive and effective recovery processes.
