Outsourced Post-Op Rehab

An outsourced therapy partner is someone who is outsourced by a company to provide rehabilitation services to the company’s patients. Many hospitals choose to operate their rehabilitation department by partnering with a team of outsourced therapy providers in order to provide treatment to patients while still keeping their overhead costs low. 

Specifically, smaller hospitals that do not have the financial or administrative bandwidth to hire several therapists opt for an outsourced solution that provides services to their current patients and establishes a new stream of revenue as the rehabilitation team also drives new patients to the hospital for treatment.

What are the benefits of choosing an outsourced therapy partner?

Physical, speech and occupational therapy is the key to moving your patients from treatment to healing, and it is a major determining factor for overall patient satisfaction. Hospitals that want to succeed must offer rehabilitation services to their patients. However, the overhead costs of hiring plus the administrative costs of scheduling and coordinating services with other medical staff and patients create a significant expense that most smaller hospitals cannot manage. 

Contact physical, speech and occupational therapy services allow hospitals to take advantage of the following benefits:

• A greater comprehensive patient experience proven to increase your patient satisfaction rating
• Reduced overhead costs by outsourcing labor
• Lower administrative costs by allowing the outsourced team to be managed externally
• A strategic marketing plan designed to bring more patients to our partnered services
• Dedicated compliance and regulation officers to keep your physical, speech and occupational therapy services operating efficiently
• Turnkey solution to growing market share and improving performance

Additionally, a successful rehabilitation service will reduce the number of costly readmissions to your hospital, as well as increase revenue by providing a new marketable service.

To learn more about how we can help you improve your overall patient satisfaction rating, reduce costly readmissions and potentially increase revenue, contact our team today.

One of the biggest obstacles that smaller hospitals face when it comes to offering physical, speech and occupational therapy to their patients is overhead cost and administrative hours to manage this additional team. In truth, many hospitals opt to not provide this service, which has been shown to break the comprehensive patient journey and reduce overall patient satisfaction. 

Physical, speech and occupational therapy are the services that bridge the gap between treatment and healing. As a medical provider, you want to walk with your patients from start to finish — treatment to healing — to make sure they are back on their feet. When this walk is interrupted due to budget and manpower limitations, the patient experience suffers. 

This is why many hospitals are choosing therapy services companies to partner with in order to continue that patient care without taking on the overhead expenses of hiring more staff. So, how do you know which outsourced therapy company to choose? Look for these three factors when making your decision:

• Proven track record — Is this outsourced therapy company used to working with hospitals, and are they familiar with the nuances that come with hospital regulations?
• Partnership —Are they providing marketing efforts that align with your overall goals to help bring your hospital new patients, or are they only benefiting from the patients you provide to them?
• Profitability — Does their plan increase your bottom line, or is it ultimately going to hurt your revenue, despite improving your patient satisfaction rating?

At Alliance Physical Therapy Partners, we have more than 50 years of experience partnering with hospitals for outsourced therapy services. Some of the benefits of working with our outsourced therapy company include:

• Increased patient satisfaction rating
• Reduced administrative costs by outsourcing labor
• Aggressive marketing plan to drive in more patients

• Added resources for recruiting top talent therapists
• Turnkey solution to growing market share and improving performance

Clear and consistent communication is essential to a high-performing hospital. From hospital leadership to doctors, nurses, physical therapists and support staff, everyone plays a role in making sure that a clear message of care is delivered to both patients and other team members. However, in situations where time and staffing levels are limited resources, communication can become a challenge. 

This can be especially true for therapy and rehabilitation units, where hospital administrators often face challenges in managing the unique operational and personnel needs that come with it. However, to ensure that patients are receiving the continuity of care they deserve, smooth communication must occur between a physical therapy team and other service lines. 

A solution for hospitals, particularly critical access facilities in remote areas, is physical therapy outsourcing. By working with an organization that is solely dedicated to all aspects of physical therapy, including communication, you can have a smoother-running therapy department that can spill over into other areas. 

Here are some tangible benefits from better communication 

Outsourced physical therapy can improve communication for your facility in the following ways: 

1. Better documentation — In addition to staffing support, contract physical therapy services can also offer solutions in workflow systems and electronic medical records (EMR) software. This leads to better documentation of services that can improve compliance and billing. 
2. Increased communication with patients — Having the right service and personnel levels means a less stressed staff that is better able to take the time to explain services to patients and provide education. 
3. Smoother interfacing with administration — Outsourcing physical therapy shifts much of the administrative burden to an outside organization that is dedicated to managing therapists. This means proven communications in the areas of training, performance management and development. 

To receive the greatest communication benefits, you should look for a physical therapy outsourcing partner who believes in personal relationships and developing custom-tailored solutions to the hospitals they work with.

It’s hard to oversell just how important physical therapy and rehabilitation is to your patients’ recovery. No matter how successful initial care is, whether it’s injury treatment or surgery, there is still a lot of healing that needs to occur. Physical therapists play a central role in helping patients restore functionality and achieve positive outcomes. The earlier that patients can receive this care, the better, which is why all hospitals typically have an in-house physical therapy unit. 

We understand how difficult it can be for many hospitals to provide high-quality physical therapy services, particularly if you’re a smaller critical access facility. This is where turning to a physical therapy outsourcing network can be highly advantageous. To help you better understand what a physical therapy outsourcing network is and how it can help your hospital’s physical therapy unit, we’ve provided the following easy-to-understand guide.
