Proper documentation is critical to your success. Clear the confusion, streamline processes, and ensure accuracy, with Essential Forms for Therapists For a rehab facility, proper documentation is the most critical aspect of financial survival. But unfortunately, it is an area that causes confusion for clinical and non-clinical staff alike. If therapists do not document properly, they run the risk of improper reimbursement and denials. And even if done properly, documentation can be time-consuming and difficult. Simplify the process and ensure accuracy This book and CD-ROM set features over 100 modifiable forms, including: Therapy registration forms Plan of treatment for outpatient rehabilitation forms Plan of progress forms Therapy daily notes forms and flow sheets All are designed and tested by experts in the field to ensure that critical information is recorded accurately. Save time and streamline your processes The book is divided into four sections for your convenience: Therapy documentation Managed care Personnel management and human resources Essential CMS And the CD-ROM includes additional sections for job descriptions and performance reviews. These forms can easily be customized to fit individual or clinic needs and are geared toward all therapy staff. Take a look at some of the time-saving forms you'll receive: Inpatient rehab patient assessment instrument Medical necessity documentation form Occupational therapy flow sheet Physical therapy and occupational therapy evaluation Physical therapy daily notes Physical therapy flow sheet Plan of progress for outpatient rehabilitation Plan of treatment for outpatient rehabilitation Rehabilitation therapy registration form Speech language pathology flow sheet Speech therapy evaluation Therapy checklist Therapy discharge Therapy progress report Updated plan of progress for outpatient rehab Advanced beneficiary notice--General Advanced beneficiary notice--Laboratory CORF facility request for certification to participate in Medicare program CORF survey report Fire safety report Fire-smoke zone evaluation worksheet Medicare reconsideration request form Medicare redetermination request form Notice of denial of medical coverage Notice of denial of payment Who will benefit . . .

This book brings to life best practices of Human Simulation; maximizing the Standardized Patient (SP) methodology that has played a major role in health professions learning and assessment since the 1960s. Each chapter reflects the Association of SP Educators Standards of Best Practices (SOBPs) and provides guidance for implementation. Multiple insights are offered through embedded interviews with international experts to provide examples illustrating successful strategies. The Human Simulation Continuum Model, a practical and theoretical framework, is introduced to guide educators in decision-making processes associated with the full range of human simulation. The Continuum Model spans improvisations, structured role-play, embedded participants, and simulated-standardized patients. This book also provides the full “how-to” for SP methodology covering topics including; case/scenario development, creating training material, training techniques for case portrayal, training communication and feedback skills, GTA/MUTA/PTA training, SP program administration and professional development for SP Educators. A pragmatic, user-friendly addition to the Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation series, Implementing Best Practices in Standardized Patient Methodology is the first book framed by the ASPE SOBPs, embracing best practices in human simulation and marshaling the vast expertise of a myriad of SP Educators.
This practical guide provides a focus on the implementation of healthcare simulation operations, as well as the type of professional staff required for developing effective programs in this field. Though there is no single avenue in which a person pursues the career of a healthcare simulation technology specialist (HSTS), this book outlines the extensive knowledge and variety of skills one must cultivate to be effective in this role. This book begins with an introduction to healthcare simulation, including personnel, curriculum, and physical space. Subsequent chapters address eight knowledge/skill domains core to the essential aspects of an HSTS. To conclude, best practices and innovations are provided, and the benefits of developing a collaborative relationship with industry stakeholders are discussed. Expertly written text throughout the book is supplemented with dozens of high-quality color illustrations, photographs, and tables. Written and edited by leaders in the field, Comprehensive Healthcare Simulation: Operations, Technology, and Innovative Practice is optimized for a variety of learners, including healthcare educators, simulation directors, as well as those looking to pursue a career in simulation operations as healthcare simulation technology specialists.
