Therapy Assessments: Setting the Stage - A solid home begins with a strong foundation. The initial assessment creates the basis for the plan of care and must support the need to provide additional visits. This session will focus on the critical elements of a thorough therapy assessment with examples of what should be seen in the documentation. This webinar is 90 minutes.
Therapy Goals and Reassessments: Setting the Expectations - Once a foundation is in place, there has to be a vision of what the structure will look like. As the building process begins, the blueprints need to be consulted and adjustments need to be made as indicated. This session will focus on effective and efficient goal writing as well as what a therapy reassessment is... and is not. This webinar is 85 minutes.
Therapy Visit Notes: Setting the Standards for "Medical Necessity" - Even with a great initial assessment and a clear vision, each brick added to a building has to be in the right place and stack up correctly or the structure will not be viable. This session will evolve thinking past the "every visit must stand alone" to provide a clear understanding of how visits must fit together and support each other to support medical necessity. This webinar is 80 minutes.
