Physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), speech-langauge pathologists (SLPs), and administrators often find themselves burdened with too much to do and not enough time to do it. Yet many folks in the outpatient therapy world are somewhat hesitant or even fearful of embracing Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its potential impact on the industry. Fear not! Join Dr. Pedro Teixeira to learn about how AI is already making life easier for administrators and therapists, and what near term possibilities exist in physical, occupational and speech therapy.
In this webinar, learn how AI is already making life easier for healthcare professionals, and what near term possibilities exist in outpatient therapy to improve workflows for therapists, assistants, and administrators. Specifically:
-
CPT coding can be complicated and PredictionHealth has shown that more appropriate coding also associates with increased productivity and patient retention.
-
Analysis across millions of visits has also shown how time of day, length of note, and time to sign-off on notes can correlate with inefficient CPT coding and poor compliance.
-
More is not always better! Learn about the “Sweet spot” of therapy note length.
At the conclusion of this webinar presentation, participants will be able to:
-
Outline the basics of AI and how it is being leveraged in healthcare already
-
Discuss the very real possibilities for AI’s application into PT and OT in the near future
-
Take action in their own practices by helping leaders understand how technology can make their lives easier through AI.
- Educate their therapists on the “Sweet spot” in terms of therapy note length
- Learn about the impact of functional activities in the clinic and their impact on both reimbursement a patient retention
Pedro Teixeira and Ravi Atreya launched PredictionHealth in January 2017, a startup dedicated to helping clinicians and healthcare organizations understand and quantify the unstructured data in their EHR with machine learning to ensure every patient gets the best care every time. Their analytics and actionable feedback in physical therapy help organizations improve their compliance and practice efficiency by analyzing every sentence of every single note.
Pedro received his MD, PhD. degrees from Vanderbilt University and completed his PhD in the laboratory of Dr. Josh Denny in the Department of Biomedical Informatics. There he applied machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) methods to extract phenotypic information from electronic health records (EHR) and identify associations with genetic variants.
Physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, speech-language pathologists, private practice owners, and practice administrators, compliance officers, risk managers, directors, managers, and supervisors in skilled nursing facilities, hospital outpatient therapy departments, rehabilitation agencies, home health agencies, and comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities.
