One thing we can all agree with independently our where we find our personally? me is that the need for physiotherapy services does not decrease. Demand for our services will be there for the foreseeable future. Here are two good news and bad news. Just as the good news is obvious the bad news is preventable. The bad news or negative potential consequence is that we rest on our laurels and / or believe that the application itself to ensure our future. If we believe that demand will result in the payment (resulting salaries), drive the appropriate reference in both types of patients and in the time of the referral, and enhance direct access, then we can be in a future disappoints.
Being properly paid both reimbursement and wages is already a problem many face. With rising health care costs, we can not rely only on the request conduct of wages and the payment deserved level. The health system can not afford to just pay more without tangible results suppliers - so financial savings. More in future posts on this subject.
The application also will not conduct reference models. Patients with diagnoses that we can help will, but currently are not routinely referred will not magically be sent to us more appropriate number, or at a more appropriate time. Patients seek us directly because demand is high because the understanding of what we do is not level with the public it must be.
Thus, in order to take our rightful place in the health care system in the future will require more than having a strong demand for our services. What do you think it will take for our future is as bright as it should be? How can we get our fair financial reward? How can we become the preferred supplier for all patients, we can help? How can we patients seek us directly? Your thoughts please !!
We'll take these questions and more in 2014. One of my favorite quotes that fits here:
"The answers in life are dead, the issues of life that move us forward. "- Michael Gerber
Here is a Great 2014 and can it be prosperous for you in all the ways that matter !!
