At an outpatient rehab facility, the work of a Director of Rehabilitation is never done. While information technology is only one piece of the puzzle – it’s critical for keeping team productivity high and providing insightful data that will support decision-making.

Rehabilitation work flow management software will automate processes like registration, referrals, scheduling, insurance authorizations, physician authorizations and charges.  It will offer comprehensive electronic documentation of evaluations, plans of care and progress notes.  It will interface seamlessly with other information systems to ensure the dependable and accurate flow of administrative, clinical and financial information.

What are the benefits of an outpatient rehab work flow management system?

  • compliance with therapy billing regulations
  • increased operational efficiency
  • a reduction in lost revenue
  • a potential increase in revenue

 Many outpatient rehab facilities still operate manually today, using paper charts to document care and route patients.  As the Obama Administration advocates for interoperability among healthcare providers, the time is right for Directors of Rehabilitation to take a look at work flow management software solutions designed with their needs in mind.
