OT Potential Podcast | Occupational Therapy CEUs #96: OT and Value-Based Care with Dana Strauss
We’ve all known for a while that the current fee-for-service models that most occupational therapists operate under are bad for patients and bad for healthcare.
Why?
Because it incentives volume of services over quality of services.
If you’re like me, you may feel like you’ve been waiting for years for value based care to really take hold in the United States. But, this new future has felt like a distant reality.
Our guest today, Dana Strauss, PT, DPT, sees things from a different vantage point. As she’ll share in this episode, the future is actually here, it is just not evenly distributed.
Value-based programs have been piloted and they are on the cusp of rapid expansion in the United States. In our episode today, Dana will walk us through the value-based models that are currently out there, what ones are coming, and what you as an OT professional can do to prepare for this much-needed new reality.
