Chicago Physical Therapy practice trains more staff
OccuCare Systems and Solutions' recently completed their most popular industrial rehab continuing education course in Chicago, Illinois. Therapists from Chicago and surrounding cities came to participate in OccuCare's Comprehensive Industrial Rehab Training course. Achieve Orthopedic Rehab out of Burr Ridge, Illinois recently implemented OccuCare's software and sent a second therapist to participate in this course to expand their injured worker treatment specialty.Following this course Anita Galco, PT, DPT, ATC from Achieve Manual Physical Therapy reported:
"All aspects of the training were terrific, the practicing of the testing, the practicum on day 3, and having small group discussions with the instructor."
Achieve Orthopedic Rehab was using a Functional Capacity Evaluation software system for some time but was looking to implement an FCE software system with the latest technology. They also were interested in implementing a larger approach to a full industrial rehab program and turned to OccuCare's comprehensive suite of web based industrial rehab tests. The software OccuCare implemented into Achieve offers six different industrial rehab testing options which produces eight different return to work reports all in one system.Following the course and software implementation, OccuCare will continue to work with Achieve Orthopedic Rehab as they continue their pursuit of being a specialist in the treatment of the injured worker.
Many rehab facilities looking to implement industrial rehab are turning to OccuCare's software and training secondary to the innovative products they offer in their program. These innovative products include Functional Progress Notes TM and Functional Discharge Summaries TM which are functional re-assessments that are performed during outpatient therapy. Unlike an FCE that tests a persons entire body, these functional re-assessments test the injured joint to help determine if the injured joint is ready to return to full duty work. These functional re-assessments do not require a Dr's order, do not require insurance approval, and usually are a 50% to 100% higher charge ticket as compared to a standard re-eval charge tickets.The methodologies OccuCare teaches clinics throughout the United States include implementing a full approach to industrial rehab from initial outpatient eval all the way to return to work. Clinics that implement OccuCare's Online Assessment Application and participate in their Comprehensive Industrial Rehab Training course are clinics that specialize in the treatment of the injured worker.
OccuCare's Online Assessment Application is the fastest growing tool for therapy practitioners to implement a very customizable industrial rehab assessment tool. The Online Assessment Application has the most testing options available on the open market which include
