Effective Functional Assessment and Testing

In a climate where insurance companies are becoming more and more parsimonious as it relates to the coverage of therapy services, it is exceedingly important that we provide comprehensive information regarding the importance of our services and the benefits they provide to our patients to ensure continued access to these services. This workshop will provide therapists with an extensive set of tools to allow for stronger documentation and promotion of our services. Providing appropriate outcome measures within our plan of care is a simple, yet effective way to demonstrate the valueof therapy services, and also provides easy to understand, objective measures to assist patients and caregivers in better understanding goals, progress, and recommendations. In addition to these benefits, having standardized, measurable outcomes are also beneficial to therapists providing direct patient care, as it provides tangible information regarding the effectiveness of interventions that helps guide decision- making in our daily practice.
