Treatment Planner Using the Planner, you can schedule required treatment minutes for the week while keeping track of the resources available for delivering these minutes. As minutes are planned for each professional designation, the system tracks the cost of the planned treatment and helps your team monitor the percentage of group minutes planned for each discipline. Data Export Connections Therapy Management has the unique ability to export patient rehab charges into virtually any third-party billing software eliminating redundant data entry. Using the export, you can process rehab treatments and submit billing weekly, which helps you improve A/R activity.

Why Track Outcomes? Rehabilitation Outcomes Measure (ROM) is our proprietary tool that helps therapists evaluate therapy regimens. This function is especially important when exceeding the Medicare Part B therapy caps, which require providers to demonstrate the value of treatment in relation to improved functional outcomes and cost effectiveness. ROM complements existing discipline free scales, presenting both intra- and inter- disciplinary views of patient progress. The system considers the unique characteristics of each rehab patient and provides discipline-specific data for physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech language pathology. An industry standard, ROM generates data that can be used to perform trends analysis, which aids new program development and enhancement, as well as service delivery improvements. ROM Features: > Seven-point assessment for Physical Therapy (12 areas), Occupational Therapy (15 areas), and Speech Language Pathology (9 areas) > Easy, single-point data entry at the facility > Enterprise-wide aggregated reports and facility-based reports > Multidimensional analysis reports available through the data warehouse Centralize Staffing and Scheduling Simplify scheduling of patients and therapists at one or multiple sites using the Scheduler tool. Therapists can easily set patient appointments and organize their day for proactive productivity management. Managers are able to quickly adjust staffing levels and gain visibility of available resources across the entire organization. Eliminate Transcription Errors Because therapists can quickly and easily enter minutes and procedural code units directly into the system, manual transcription and double entry are a thing of the past. Records and up-to-the-minute reports are readily available throughout the organization.

Deficit Directed Documentation Our industry leading Deficit Directed Documentation capability allows clinicians to quickly construct custom clinical documents by limiting details to the patient s specific deficits. This feature helps increase therapist efficiency while supporting justification for services provided. The Deficit Directed Documentation function also integrates with our Rehabilitation Outcomes Measure (ROM) to provide the rehab industry with the only integrated clinical documentation and outcomes measurement system, allowing you to: > Eliminate the need to document on areas where the patient is deficit-free > Reduce the non-billable time therapists spend creating clinical records > Safeguard services in the event of a recovery audit > Enjoy peace of mind knowing that clinical documentation is clean, complete and on time Stay Connected!

CPT Check Does your therapy department ever get confused about mutually exclusive CPT codes or the proper use of a billing modifier? Our procedure code check monitors the need for code modifiers and alerts therapists when they record mutually exclusive procedures in the same visit. The system also adds the kx modifiers to billing documents as needed. With the automatic CPT Check, our software eliminates the risk of compliance issues. CPT code reimbursement Therapy Management quickly sets up and updates different CPT rates for any payer. Once rates are established, the system tracks dollars spent for each procedure. Procedure code selector Using the CPT Selector, therapists can quickly select appropriate CPT codes by category, number and description or by using the auto-populate start up feature. Selected codes are then displayed on therapy service logs, billing documents and on the daily to-do list. > Identify Patient Room Number and Physician CPT is a registered trademark of the American Medical Association.
