Storm Lake, Iowa Hospital Implements the Online Assessment Application
OccuCare Systems and Solutions' is proud to announce the recent implementation of their comprehensive suite if industrial rehab software into one of Iowa's most progressive hospital rehabilitation clinics. OccuCare recently completed their Comprehensive Industrial Rehab Training/Online Assessment Application implementation training course in Norfolk, Nebraska and Buena Vista Regional Medical Center from Storm Lake, Iowa came to this course.
Buena Vista Regional Medical Center already performed Functional Capacity Evaluations but they were looking for an all inclusive software system and a higher level of testing support as compared to the support from the system they originally trained in. Following some discussions with OccuCare staff they easily determined that the Online Assessment Application software, which offered six different industrial rehab testing options, along with the industrial rehab knowledge OccuCares staff had, that this was the system they would change to. Two of their Occupational Therapists came to the Nebraska training session and learned a full approach to industrial rehab while they were also trained to use OccuCare's Software.
Julia White, OTR/L reported that "The instructors information was top notch. I like OccuCare's 100% kinesiophysical approach for FCE testing and the decision charts for making return to work decisions".
Stephanie McClellan, OTR/L reported following the course "The training was excellent! The most beneficial aspects of training for me was the Job Demands Analysis training as this is an area I have the least experience".
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 approach. The Online Assessment Application has the most testing options as compared to any other software system on the open market. The six different industrial rehab testing options which produce eight different return to work reports include:
- Functional Capacity Evaluation
- Work Hardening/Conditioning
- Job Demands Analysis
- Pre-Placement Post-Offer Testing
- Functional Progress Note TM
- Functional Discharge Summary TM
