For patients recovering from surgical procedures, receiving post-operative rehabilitation, or rehab, from a qualified physical therapist can have a positive impact on the outcome. For any type of surgery, from a heart procedure to foot surgery, physical therapy and rehab is critical to helping patients regain basic functioning and making a full recovery.
However, it is also an area where a large number of hospitals struggle to provide a high level of service that scales with their administrative resources and budget. Post-operative rehab, and physical therapy as a whole, is a highly specialized discipline that requires specific oversights for hiring, training, charting and coding, complying with regulations and auditing, just to name a few.
In an era of tightening budgets, increasing patient admissions and higher expectations for patient satisfaction, a solution that many hospitals are turning to is outsourcing their post-operative rehab services to a dedicated contract services provider. To help you decide if this is the right choice for your facility, here is an overview of the primary advantages to outsourcing.
What outsourced post-operative rehab can offer your hospital
Partnering with a contract therapy provider gives you the ability to leverage the knowledge and expertise of a larger, specialized organization. This means:
- Staffing support ” Contract therapy providers have resources to help you find therapists with the right credentials and experience for delivering quality post-operative rehab.
- Performance management solutions ” From training, to systems of work, to compliance, outsourcing your post-operative rehab means a partner to help you increase efficiency.
