JUNE 2022
ASCEND 2022...
On May 19th I had the opportunity to attend the Ascend Executive Summit with Sandy Wickman Mason and Mike Durand in Charlotte, NC. WebPT has sponsored this event for several years. Sands and Mike have attended a few times and assured me that it was worth the time and travel. The event is unique in that it puts more than 100 people in the room for a day of collaboration, networking, and learning – people who on every other day of the year are competitors and perhaps even adversaries. This year, the PT space was represented by Athletico, Confluent Health, Doctors of PT, IVY Rehab, JAG-ONE, Pro PT and USPT as well as others. This event was created by former WebPT CEO Nancy Hamm, founded on her belief was that bringing people together who all advocated for the greater good of PT could accomplish great things. This year’s agenda included a broad list of topics and speakers which directly impact the world of physical therapy. Speakers and topics included: • WebPT CEO, Ashley Glover, provided an overview of the current PT landscape and market. • A former Walmart executive, Marcus Osborn, presented the data that made Walmart institute a “PT First” approach for employees. • Chris Throckmorton, CEO of Athletico, shared his “Lessons for a Successful Turnaround.” He helped turn Pivot into a profitable company and then sold it to Athletico before being recruited to became Athletico’s CEO. • TJ Carella, Director of the hedge fund Warburg Pincus, spoke on “Medicare Advantage Innovations and How They Will Impact PT.” • The Executive Director of APTQI, Nikesh Patel, spoke on the organization’s advocacy efforts on behalf of the profession. • Second Door CEO (and former StriveLabs CEO), Scott Hebert, ended the afternoon with a session on going “Direct to Consumer.”
Attendees are encouraged to ask questions following each presentation. During the sessions and in the networking discussions at the Roof Top Bar afterwards, some common themes emerged. There is a general acceptance that healthcare in this country is overpriced. That fact will continue to drive the search for alternative payment and delivery options, while employers, the Federal Government and Health Insurers are all seeking ways to control costs. The good news on this front is that physical therapy is gaining more momentum as a low cost, high value approach to addressing musculo-skeletal pain and injury. More doctors and patients are recognizing that we should be the first point of contact for this population. The second trend continuing to evolve is that more people are understanding the general benefits of receiving physical therapy for a broad range of issues. It’s generally accepted that only about ten percent of those who could benefit from PT are seeking treatment – if that percentage doubled in five years, our profession would be twice the current size and still only touch twenty percent of those who need us. Lastly, the shortage of physical therapists is a huge issue. I had conversations with leaders of national physical therapy businesses as well as owners of smaller rural practices and the story is the same across the board. Everyone is looking for help and struggling to find it.

Overall, the summit for me was time well spent. Clearly, our profession faces challenges that will continue to evolve and change, however, the fundamental truth is physical therapy improves the quality of people’s lives. I am confident that what we do at PTSMC adds great value to “the system” and, more importantly, to those we serve.
“The office staff is very helpful and friendly. The therapists seem to do a great job at evaluating patients along the way, varying exercises to keep challenging and strengthening and seem like they work together as a team.” - Avon
Thanks,
“The staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The therapist I worked with was Kelly (Hoisl) and she was attentive, extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly what she was doing! She also made me feel comfortable and explained exactly what was going on with my neck and trap injury.” - Windsor
Alan
“Scott (Olmstead) and Caitlyn (Ayotte) are absolutely wonderful! They are great at what they do, have great attitudes/personalities and my daughter feels very comfortable with them. We are seeing great results with our daughter’s recovery and we attribute that to having great PTs.“ - New London

“The staff at PTSMC is extraordinary! Every single person I encountered was friendly and delightful! I called with a severe neck injury and in excruciating pain - they got me in right away and I felt better as soon as I left the first day. The dry needling technique was a life saver. Eric (Horne), my PT is wonderful - could not have asked for a better therapist! Will be returning should I ever need PT again!” - Simsbury
CLINICIAN’S CORNER
Vice President of Business Development Mike Durand, MBA, ATC, is a guest writer to introduce this new organization initiative for our clinicians
PTSMC Outcomes Reports are Coming! Clinical outcomes have become increasingly important in the world of healthcare over the last few years. In discussions with insurance companies either through contract re-negotiations, network participation or general discussion of the value of physical therapy, the topic of clinical outcomes is becoming a larger focus. PTSMC has been collecting clinical outcomes reporting through WebPT for several years, yet we have not focused too much attention on the details or the data. We recognize that it is in our best interest to change this. When it comes to outcomes reporting in WebPT, there are two key pieces of information. One, is the utilization or the number of cases that have a complete data set. In other words, how many patient cases have outcome measures completed at initial evaluation and at discharge. This is represented as a percentage. PTSMC’s goal for utilization is 50%. The second, is the clinical outcomes themselves and how PTSMC patient improvement compares to those of others in WebPT’s national database. These scores are broken down by individual therapist and individual outcome measures such as Oswestry, Quick DASH, LEFS, etc. How can scores improve? • Tracking patient outcomes throughout care and discharging patients will create more data • Educating patients on how to complete the questionnaire, how you will use the responses, and how their participation benefits them • Understanding Outcome Measurement Tools (OMT) and ensuring patients are given the correct assessment In order to bring our clinical outcomes more to the forefront, all clinicians will begin to receive quarterly clinical outcomes reports directly through email. We are sending these reports for information purposes only. The general hope is that sharing this information leads to increased questions, interest and consideration in outcomes and that collectively we can all learn from each other and improve the process. A special thanks to Danielle Dunn, Channing Harwood and Marilex Santiago and their collaboration to create the report guide and FAQs that will accompany each report. As healthcare continues to evolve, we know the importance of proving the value of physical therapy will increase. PTSMC wants to be at the forefront of proving the value of physical therapy and further that physical therapy at PTSMC is the greatest value.

Evaluation vs. Re-Evaluation When to Use Each
By Melissa Boutagy, Clinical Compliance Officer Initial Evaluation/ New Case CPT Codes: 97161, 97162, 97163
Re-Evaluation CPT Code: 97164
• Patient admitted into the hospital (changes in level of care) • S/p Car or work accident • Changes in Insurance Carrier • Post operative Orthopedic surgery • Transition to Self-Pay Case
• Change occurred that was NOT anticipated in POC • New diagnosis • Patient fails to respond to outlined POC • Duration of care extends past the initial POC dates • < 24 hr. Hospital Observation Status, not admitted to hospital • Re-evaluation code requires an updated POC
Changes in Level of Care (ex. Hospitalization) When a physician clears the patient to resume PT, you cannot assume the patient will tolerate the same level of care without careful evaluation.
Why is a re-evaluation important post significant change? It is your professional obligation to ensure patient is safe with all interventions.
Deadline to apply is July 31, 2022! Acceptance decisions will be made in September 2022 for start date in December 2022. ***Applicants must have a valid PT license prior to the start of the residency program*** Learn more and apply online at: www.ptsmc.com/residency

Extra MILE
SCHEDULING TIPS By Kristen Forster, Director of Operations
At intake, encourage the patient to schedule their next two visits. WHY? • Ensures patient can get times that work well for their schedule. • Supports patient compliance with plan of care. • Fills the schedule! When scheduling after the first visit, encourage the patient to schedule for the FULL plan of care. WHY? • Supports patient “buy-in” and reinforces accountability. • If they come for all those visits, they will get back to what they love faster! • Patients that are scheduled for visits that work for THEM are more likely to show up. • Improves outcomes for patients and PTSMC. Compliance is key! Encourage ALL patients to sign up for reminders. WHY? • Email, phone, and text reminders will notify patients in advance and allow time to reschedule if needed. • It’s convenient and automated. Call New Patients the day before their appointment. WHY? • It’s personal! It shows you are invested in their care and want to ensure their first visit goes smoothly. • It’s an opportunity for you to set expectations, answer questions and welcome the patient to PTSMC. PTSMC is proud to support the successful rehabilitation of our patients and these extra steps ensure they will have the BEST experience possible.

Life Beat Healthy Smoothie Recipes As the weather starts to heat up nothing is better than a nice cold
smoothie to help cool you down. Smoothies are great ways to get nutrients into your day and some can even take care of a sweet tooth. The best part is you can experiment with any smoothie recipe to fit your taste and needs. Here are a few smoothies and tips to get you through late spring and summer. Tropical Green Smoothie 1-2 cups of lightly packed baby spinach (you can also go half and half with baby kale) 8oz of apple juice 1 ripe banana ½ cup of frozen mango chunks ½ cup of frozen pineapple chunks Zingy Orange Peach Mango ½ cup of fresh or frozen peach chunks ½ frozen mango chunks 1 tsp of ground ginger or 1 inch fresh 1 tsp of ground turmeric or 1 inch fresh ¼ tsp ground black pepper ½ cup of orange juice ½ cup of water Tips: Mix and swap frozen fruit for fresh fruit when needed. This will help you control how thick and icy your smoothie is. Freeze ripe bananas! Place them cut in halves or pieces on a parchment lined baking tray for an hour. This will help them from not sticking together when you move them into closed storage. Prepack fruits and veggies into storage bags portioned out for one smoothie. This makes it super easy when it’s time to make your smoothie. All you have to do is add your liquid base and blend.
