The Rising Tide of Value-Based Care in Rehab Therapy and Private Practice
You may not think about value-based care (VBC) and how it impacts your business, but it likely already has. Complex and confounding, VBC is gaining momentum. In the first chapter, learn how the core objectives of VBC apply to rehab therapy, what value-based care’s effect is on rehab therapists and their clinics, and how technology makes VBC possible for rehab therapy clinicians and organizations.
“We’ve got lots of research that shows that if you see a physical therapist early or first, you’re going to have a significant savings in musculoskeletal spend,” said Jeff Hathaway, PT, DPT, a Founding Partner with Confluent Health.
Demystifying Value-Based Care in Skilled Nursing, Senior Living, and Post-Acute Rehab Therapy
How does rehab therapy impact the successful implementation of value-based care in skilled nursing and assisted living facilities? In chapter two, discover which Medicare-based value-based payment models are used within SNFs/ALFs and the ways rehab therapists support these programs. Also, find out how clinicians who serve ALFs/SNFs can thrive through regulatory changes.
“How can rehab therapy be a positive drive for reimbursement and efficiency? The way they do this is going to be very similar in all [post-acute] programs. We’re going to keep people moving, we’re going to help them go home, and we’re going to keep them out of the hospital. We’re going to improve their quality of life. And, we’re going to keep them … moving around so they can be as independent as possible.”

Learn how technology solutions are helping rehab therapists and rehab therapy departments adhere to value-based care principles.
