Time-Saving Tips

22 November, 2011

Due to increased caseloads and the limited amount of treatment time that occupational and physical therapists have with each patient, North Coast Medical is constantly working on ways to help therapists be more efficient.   Here are some products we recommend to help therapists make the most of their billable time:

Precuts save time and ensure precise billing

Precut Splints:  Pre-cut splints can save billable time, reduce the amount of wasted material, and simplify the reimbursement process. Time is saved by the simple fact our pre-cut shapes suit most common applications.  Using a precut reduces the amount of time needed to design and cut out a pattern from a thermoplastic piece. In addition, using these pre-cuts reduces lost revenue due to tossing out excess material. Lastly, therapists are reimbursed for exactly what they use. Rather than being reimbursed for a portion of a sheet, they can now list a single pre-cut for precise billing.

 

Progress™ splints are time-saving alternatives for progressive positioning.

Progress™ Orthoses:  Progress™ orthoses are ideal for persons with weakness in their wrists and hands, contractures, mild to moderate tone, or spasticity.  All Progress™ orthoses are innovatively designed with a malleable metal frame, covered with dense foam padding for a lightweight, soft support, similar to a plastic splint.  The ability to change joint angles within the orthoses without the need for tools makes Progress™ a time-saving alternative for progressive positioning.

 

ROM-Stops™ make it easy to individualize degrees of motion to each finger.

ROM-Stops™: ROM-Stops™ are plastic rods with end caps used on outriggers to control finger range of motion.  Each rod is designed to block finger flexion or extension in pre-measured increments of five degrees.  These pre-measured rods make it easy to individualize the degrees of motion to each finger.  They  can be used with most dynamic finger splints or custom design splints.  ROM-Stops™ are ideal for MP arthoplasty, PIP joint arthoplasty or extensor tendon lacerations.
