Description
LIVE WEBINAR APPROVED IN Illinois, Louisiana, Arkansas, Iowa and Utah. Check your state board for reciprocity
This course was created to encourage PTs/PTAs
to embrace outcome tools in order to improve their
abilities as therapists. Outcome tools can be used
to assist clinicians in better identifying their
patient’s issues and the extent of the domains of
the problems the patients present with. The more
complete information derived from the use of
outcome measures will lead to the improved
provision of therapy services. Furthermore the
use of outcome measures can help decipher the
presentation of the complex patient or a patient
whose presentation is not within the comfort zone
of the treating clinician. Outcome tools are also
beneficial in educating the patient. Finally,
beyond the vast improvement in the therapist’s
abilities that are afforded by the use of outcome
tools, more and more third party providers are
requiring the use of outcome measures for
reimbursement. Competent use of tools can lead
to increased allowance of visits and easier
reimbursement for services. Register now to up
your therapy game.
Attendees Upon Completion:
Will be equipped with access to outcome
tools that they will easily be able to apply
apporpiate outcome measures. More
importantly, clinicians will want to apply
outcome measures with their newly acquired
understanding on how these tools: improve
clinicians understanding of different patient
presentations, improve rapport, satisfy third
party insurer demands, improve treatment
provision and outcomes and in general can
make the clinicians job easier!
