Functional Discharge Summary ™
Employers, Physicians, and Case Managers time and time again request information at the end of the rehabilitation process. There primary question is "Can the patient return to full duty work?"
OccuCare has developed programming that will answer this question every time! Our innovative Functional Discharge Summary™ is an objective functional re-assessment that is performed at the conclusion of traditional outpatient therapy or at the conclusion of work hardening/conditioning. This discharge re-assessment provides the most comprehensive and objective documentation of a patients functional return to work ability within 30 to 60 minutes. This evaluation is performed within a normal treatment session and provides all parties involved in this return to work case with documentation that significantly assists with case closure.
Insurance carriers and case managers will sign your praises and will request that their workers' compensation client's participate in your rehabilitation program instead of your competitions. They will recognize you as a specialist in the treatment of the injured worker because of your high level reporting abilities.
