PTMS
head Cary Edgar to address Texas Orthopaedic Association and Texas Association
of Orthopaedic Executives on using data to manage physical and occupational
therapy
PHOENIX,
Ariz. – September 2014 – Cary Edgar, president of PT Management Support
Systems (PTMS), a leader in setting up and managing physical and occupational
therapy programs for healthcare organizations, will speak at the 2014 annual conference
of the Texas Orthopedic Administrators Society on October 10 regarding the use of data to optimize both the quality and profitability of ancillary physical
and occupational therapy.
Edgar will share key PT/OT benchmarks and
address why a provider or practice may not be achieving them. He will also discuss how to use data, such as
average procedures per visit, to determine whether therapists are treating
patients for an appropriate period of time and whether they are capturing all
appropriate charges. Edgar will talk
about payment trends, such as how higher co-pays and deductibles are affecting
average visits per patient and overall PT/OT profitability.
“PT/OT margins
can shrink very rapidly, and therefore, proactive management of provider and
support staff productivity and overall efficiency based on real-time data is an
absolute necessity,” Edgar says.
