Re: Quality Assurance Program

[Guest guest]

,

I recommend the Office of the Inspector General's Compliance Program

for Small Group Physician's Practices which is available as a PDF at

www.Physical-Therapy-Videos.com/free-cms-downloads.html

A video demonstration of how to use the OPTIMAL for Medicare

goal-setting and demonstrating expected improvement in a reasonable

time frame is at www.Physical-Therapy-Videos.com/OPTIMAL-video.html

Everything is free.

Also, you will find our proprietary templates for Medicare Progress

Notes and simple data collection.

And that's not all - you can also sign up for the free 13-step

tutorial 'Bulletproof PT Charts and Notes'

Quality Assurance is simple when you do it right the first time.
