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!
