COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Effectively managing chronic disease in the home health setting requires more than just routine care—it demands skilled intervention, sharp clinical reasoning, and documentation that clearly supports the need for therapy. This course is designed for Physical and Occupational Therapists looking to enhance their approach to chronic disease management while ensuring compliance with reimbursement guidelines.
Participants will explore evidence-based intervention strategies that justify skilled PT and OT services for patients with conditions such as cognitive impairment, COPD, heart failure, and Parkinson’s disease. The course will also cover best practices for defensible documentation, equipping therapists with practical tools to demonstrate clinical decision-making, track meaningful patient progress, and align documentation with regulatory requirements, including OASIS-E1 and Section GG frameworks.
By the end of this course, therapists will have additional tools to navigate chronic disease management, improve patient outcomes, and optimize reimbursement compliance.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Determine appropriate intervention principles for chronic disease management that clearly demonstrate skilled need for home health PT and/or OT services.
- Apply defensible documentation practices that showcase clinical reasoning, patient progress and the need for skilled care.
- Select appropriate skilled intervention principles for people living with cognitive impairment.
- Integrate OASIS-E1 and Section GG frameworks to create structured, goal-oriented documentation that supports both skilled visits as well as reimbursement compliance.
