📢 CALLING ALL PHYSICAL AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS! 📢 Reps. Don Davis and Lloyd Smucker just introduced the REDUCE Act. If passed, the bipartisan bill would reduce the unnecessary administrative burden on rehab therapy practices by allowing the plan of care to be deemed certified as long as it is submitted to the physician within 30 days.

While Telerehabilitation physical therapy gained popularity during the pandemic, there has been a decrease in its use in the post-pandemic world. Trends of low patient satisfaction compared to in-person visits can be seen. However, we could see a future with hybrid care approach to occupational therapy. With firsthand experience in this field, I can attest that patients value hands-on, in-person physical therapy. Despite the increasing virtualization of most healthcare fields we may continue to rely on traditional unchanged methods. #Telerehabilitation #PhysicalTherapy #postPandemicHealthcare #CSIbus605 https://lnkd.in/eDrB5qDN

Happy Physical Therapy Month to all my colleagues and therapists. The message in the foreword of this article, "The economic value of Physical Therapy in the United States," is well conveyed. Eight (of many) conditions were looked at and the cost-savings per episode of care-meaning 6-12 visits/case at hundreds versus thousands of dollars in hospitalization, costly diagnostic tests and procedures. Not to mention the emotional and mental benefits that someone feels from working with their physical and/or occupational therapy teams. The month of October is devoted to highlighting our Physical Therapy profession. I hope my colleagues and others reflect on our roles we play in our healthcare system and understand the difference we make and value brought to our patients. https://lnkd.in/g9WNjYYh Screenshot is an excerpt from the article showing the cost-savings per episode of care that therapy has to offer for some common high cost conditions that are seen in the medical community. #APTA #physicaltherapy #PTMonth
