WebPT's annual 2018 survey of PT practices noted that completed plans of care (POC's) are a major issue in the industry, at a dismal rate of 15%. Only 15% of patients complete a full POC! Imagine all the gains that were missed, results that never came to fruition, and lives that could've been changed! Financially, consider what that means in lost revenue for a PT clinic. They estimate the loss of revenues for an average clinic to be equal to $150,000 per year! A majority of that, profit! This demonstrates the absolute necessity that we, as a profession and as PT owners, ensure that our patients are clear about what the POC is, how it will benefit them, and ensure we get their buy-in on it at the initial evaluation. In this episode, Adam Robin and Nathan Shields share a recording of their recent Facebook live event and discuss how Adam and Nathan have gained patient commitment to completing their full POC's.Want to talk about how we can help you with your PT business, or have a question you want to ask?

Pushing and tracking production in a physical therapy clinic can have a negative connotation—'you're all about the numbers,' 'that's not patient-focused,' 'that's too corporate'—and lead to the owner being soft and reasonable with unproductive team members. However, when owners decide to know what the business requires to be financially successful and hold the team(s) accountable to those numbers, then results, morale, opportunities, and profits increase. In this episode, Physical Therapy Owners Club coach, Adam Robin, PT, discusses the beauty of a production-based business and the necessity that PT owners have to act like true CEOs and know the numbers, set the expectation, train and coach their teams, and hold them accountable. When they do so, their PT clinics will see amazing results.Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! https://ptoclub.com/
The traditional physical therapy business model will not be sustainable in the future. The model that has been successful in the past – open your doors, be nice to doctors, take all the insurances, set up a standard EHR – won't allow you to grow and navigate thru the changes that are coming to healthcare generally. Thus, PT owners in modern society need to be aware of the need for business coaching that they never learned, how to discriminate between insurances, the capabilities of MSKUS and EMG diagnostics, the addition of cash-based practices, AI software effects on healthcare, etc. In this episode, Will Humphreys, PT of Multiplexit and Rockstar Recruiter, joins Nathan Shields to discuss what owners need to be aware of to succeed in the future. Even with Artificial Intelligence coming into the healthcare industry, enhancing certain aspects could help run the business smoothly. Embracing the mindset of constantly learning will help you adapt to the changing landscape of Physical Therapy.
