Guest guest Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hi Group, Planning some staff education for Q1 2012 regarding FIMS. FIMS is a tool we use in Inpatient Rehab Facilities. Admission and Discharge FIM motor Scoring... reveals patient progress and outcomes . Any suggestions for references or resources out there? Has anybody worked to educate staff and have any stories to share? I always appreciate this groups guidance. Thanks in advance.... E. Lynn MS PT Director of Rehabilitation Marlton Rehabilitation Hospital 92 Brick Rd. Marlton, NJ 08055 ext 4204 From: PTManager [mailto:PTManager ] On Behalf Of jjatwts Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2011 12:10 PM To: PTManager 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. Thank you in advance for your response.
