Guest guest Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 We build an extra 'unit' into the evaluation to account for all the extra time. For example, a patient is charged for 2 units but the therapist gets credit for 3 units. We've also sought feedback from staff on what they do to help be more productive as a way to learn from each other. The other thing is we tell staff to go to a patient room first. It can save a lot of time. In your example, the therapist that does that three times in a day could have almost seen another treatment if the pt room was the first stop.

Any advice, suggestion, recommendation is greatly appreciate it! Have a great weekend! L., PT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
