Best Practices for Aligning Therapy Frequency with Clinical Presentation
Therapy plans of care are often written for three times per week for four or six weeks. But is this always the optimal frequency and duration for the patient? Rehabilitation providers must integrate information regarding the patient's prior level of function, goals, clinical presentation, and standardized outcome measures with knowledge of expected progress and outcomes. By combining these components, therapists can truly maximize outcomes and demonstrate the value of therapy. This course shows how to align planned frequency with a patient's clinical presentation.
