Physical Therapists as Case Managers in Home Healthcare
Course: #3982Level: Intermediate 2 Hours 2068 Reviews
PDGM has changed the home health care world as we know it, from diagnosis to visit allotments to therapist overall involvement in care. PT’s are finding themselves more frequently as the case manager for an episode of care and learning what exactly that entails. This course will dive into the steps you need to take to maximize delivery of care, recognize opportunities to refer other disciplines into care, oversee other disciplines, and successfully communicate with the referral source while ensuring optimal patient care. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.
