These are just two samples. The cd comes with much more. Read on for the full description!
The cd contains Microsoft Excel Files that automatically calculate scores, convert scores, as well as track manage and graph data! This takes nearly all of the pain out of the process. No more lengthy hand scoring, hand charting etc! Read on to find out more!
Insurance carriers, attorneys, and third party payers are all demanding documentation to prove that the services you billed for were medically necessary and actually performed. That was enough in the past. Now the game has changed! The stakes are even higher! These same parties now want you to prove that your care is effective as well. Attorneys and Medpay want proof that care is achieving the desired results. Insurance carriers want proof that the care they are paying for is working as well. They also want to know if a patient is at a plateau with progress and has reached maximum medical improvement. A simple “rate your symptoms on a scale from 0 to 10” doesn’t cut it anymore. You need to address activities of daily living, functional capacity and sometimes even the emotional impact a patient’s condition has on their life. Welcome to the world of outcomes assessment!
The good news is, all of the forms are already out there! None of this is hard…but calculating and tracking those scores can be time consuming and quite frankly, a pain in the butt!
But outcomes assessment shouldn’t be viewed as a pain in the neck, but rather a great opportunity to validate your care to the patient and everyone else involved. If you are a Doctor of Chiropractic then outcomes assessment is probably even MORE important to you. Our profession is constantly under attack. You need to seize every opportunity to validate the care you provide!
We spent A LOT of time to put together Microsft Excel spreadsheets that take 90% of the inconvenience out of the whole process. Most of it now involves little more than entering the patient’s responses, recording the scores, and saving the info. Now when a patient or insurance company questions progress with care you can simply calmly open the patient’s computer file and then print off a table listing all of the patient’s scores for every assessment you’ve ever performed from day one!
This is complete with a professional narrative description and explanation of how the assessment is used as well as an explanation of how to interpret the results. Let’s not forget simple, effective, and professional graphs to visually demonstrate the patient’s progress. All of this with a few clicks in a couple of minutes! No more scrambling to get 6 or 8 weeks worth of scores tallied, documented, and interpreted! No more trying to explain to an attorney or insurance company what the heck an Oswestry questionnaire is and what the patient’s score means! Now just click, print, and send!
You don’t need any fancy Microsoft Excel skills to use these files. If you have Microsoft Excel installed on your computer and can open files and have BASIC computer skills you can use these files. Excel skills would help if you wish to customize the files even further…but it’s not necessary. It’s as simple as opening the files in Excel, following the instructions, and typing in data where it is needed!
