Direct-to-Employer Care

Beschreibung

The On-Site Physical Therapist provides the motivation, steps, and solutions needed to start your own PT practice at a client location. Dr. Christine McCallum PT, DPT, spent many years in traditional brick-and-mortar PT clinics and experienced firsthand the stress that comes with productivity quotas and insurance reimbursement. On-site PT (or "direct to employer care") has been around for decades, but very few PTs know about it, or how it works. It is time for physical therapists to step forward as frontline care providers and movement specialists. In this book, Dr. McCallum shares two decades of experience as an on-site physical therapist to give you what you will need to leap into this practice model. Are you a burned-out PT? Are you a burned-out PT who is tired of the constant pressure to treat more patients per day? Are you looking to reignite your passion for PT? Are you looking to help essential workers and improve health/benefit equity? Then this book is for you. Within, you will find information to help you understand the benefits of having your own business providing on-site PT at a company location. Learn the critical steps and knowledge necessary to build your own practice and successfully gain clients. Don't wait for patients to come and find you; go to where the essential employees work. By doing so, you will love your job more and be paid for what your expertise is worth!

Dr. Christine McCallum PT, DPT, wanted to be a physical therapist since grade school. She attended UC San Diego, The University of Southern California, and most recently Regis University, where she earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree with Honors. Suffering from career burnout because of productivity requirements and poor insurance reimbursement, Dr. McCallum found a new way to practice-by becoming a successful small business owner who has spent the last two decades of her career growing the on-site PT clinic model.Dr. McCallum specializes in injury prevention, outpatient orthopedic therapy, pre-employment testing, and industrial rehab. She's helped companies decrease workers' compensation injuries, OSHA recordables, and lost time; provided lower cost PT care than a traditional PT clinic; and nurtured a healthier workforce and better employee experience. She asks, "Why make employees leave work to receive care? Why wait until an injury occurs to help? Why trust your professional compensation to an insurance fee schedule?" Providing on-site physical therapy services allows for autonomous care. The PT as an on-site gatekeeper allows essential workers to receive care and health information, without leaving the workplace.
