RE: FIM Training Resources

[Guest guest]

2 or 3 years ago, UDS had a series of webinars regarding correct FIM use. It

came with handouts. We also credential with FIM and the UDS website has many

resources for education. In the past it has given scenarios, especially in

their newsletters. Very helpful for training.

FIM resources are at the below website. We have used many of the tools they

have available to provide excellent education to our staff for many years.

> Subject: Speech therapy productivity - inpatient

>

> We are a post acute care facility with acute inpatient rehab and skilled

nursing beds. We share speech therapists across these two levels of care. The

documentation is the same in both environments (Cerner based product) and I am

wondering if anyone in either of these two levels of care find that speech

productivity tends to be lower than that of OT and PT due to the nature of the

types of services they provide. We find that the shorter the treatment session

the less efficient the staff is and speech therapy sessions tend to be closer to

30 to 45 min in length. I would like to benchmark with you to find out what the

expectations are in your environment and are they different for speech then they

are for PT/OT.
