Greater Improvement in Fewer Visits

With over four years of measuring each of our patients’ progress, we have data proving our treatment achieves greater improvements and pain relief in an average of 4 fewer visits and have been recognized nationally with the Outcomes Excellence Award.

MidSouth Orthopaedic Rehab has been recognized by Focus on Therapeutic Outcomes, Inc.(FOTO), for the Outcomes Excellence Award, recognition for exceeding the national average for functional change in FOTO’s database for 4 consecutive quarters.

In short, it means by choosing MidSouth Orthopaedic Rehab you get more physical improvement and save a significant amount of money.

If you are seeking physical therapy at any outpatient location you are most likely doing so due to some limitation or pain with physical activity. The degree of limitation and difficulty you may experience from the problem can be measured through a series of questions specific to your problem. When progress is made those improvements can be quantified by retaking the same type of questionnaire, therefore demonstrating the functional improvement or change.

Healthcare is one of those industries that, whether the patient is properly treated or not, and whether or not the patient gets better, the provider of those services gets paid for the service given. No measuring of the effectiveness of the treatment is required and reimbursement by insurance companies is more commonly directly proportional to the power an entity has, in a particular market, rather than the quality of the care provided.A physical therapist that can get a patient 50% better in 12 visits is monetarily rewarded more than one who can get the same patient 75% better in 8 visits. This payment model leaves the patient and the payer an unfortunate recipient of higher costs.

At MidSouth Orthopaedic Rehab, we are committed to provide the most effective treatment in the most efficient manner. Our proposal of greater improvement in fewer visits is not just an unsubstantiated claim but is real through FOTO, an independent patient outcomes database. We choose to do the right thing, now, by providing proven superior care in as few visits as is necessary.
