Intro to TEAM

In this episode of Future Proof PT, we dive deep into two game-changing models of care provision that could reshape physical therapy practice:

First, we explore the TEAM model (Transforming Episode Accountability Model), a Medicare acute episodes of care affecting about 740 hospitals nationwide. Learn how this model creates opportunities for outpatient PT (and OT) practices and why rethinking post-acute care transitions could lead to better patient outcomes.

Then, we uncover the proven success of PTs as primary care providers (PCPs) in the military model - a system that's been delivering results since 1974!

Discover the four key domains that validate PT effectiveness as PCPs:

-Clinical effectiveness in musculoskeletal care

-Outstanding safety profile

-Cost effectiveness

-Reduced downstream healthcare utilization
