Another Look at PDPM Sep 09, 2019

Show notes

We are on the brink of a BIG change to the SNF industry, and we all need to be as aware as possible going forward. There's a lot of opportunity to show our worth as therapists and a lot of ways we could give up our control of pt care if we aren't going in eyes open. Nicole explores some of the questions she's seen and heard the most, with insight from a SLP and her Director of Rehabilitation to try and take some of the confusion out of a confusing time period. You might want to listen a few times.

(From Nicole : Oh, this episode... it's a beast. Theres a lot here and it's gonna take you some time to process it. Even recording it, we stopped and reviewed and corrected and tried to make it as simple as possible. I know you'll have questions, we were working from a LARGE collection of information. Feel free to reach out with any questions, thoughts, corrections, suggestions... Let's all support each other moving forward!)

Some resources we drew from :

we also had access to various presentations that Nicole may be able to further clarify, so just reach out directly

30 second STS test has a new friend in town... Aug 26, 2019

Show notes

Twist on the traditional 30 second sit to stand test is the 1 minute sit to stand test which rivals the 6 minute walk test for assessing pulmonary dysfunction impacting functional endurance with less equipment and easier to complete. All you need is a chair and a patient who can stand up at least once, that's not too much to ask right?? Listen in for norms and how to clinically use this test.
