Rehab doesn’t fail because we don’t know what to do. It fails when patients stop doing it. In this podcast, we dig into how to change that by using gamification to rewire engagement in rehabilitation. You’ll hear how principles of neuroplasticity, motivation, and motor learning can be translated into real clinical strategies that make patients more likely to show up, stick with it, and actually do the work that drives recovery. We break things down into practical, real-world ideas you can use immediately, whether you’re in neuro, ortho, outpatient, or home health. From simple low-tech tweaks to tech-enhanced approaches, you’ll learn how to turn routine therapy into something patients want to return to. This isn’t theory for the sake of theory. It’s a shift in how we design rehab itself so that engagement becomes part of the treatment, not an afterthought.   To view accreditation information and access completion requirements to receive a certificate for completing this course, please click here or visit https://summit-education.com/course/AGAMGM.1.1CREDIT.   The content of this Summit podcast is provided only for educational and training purposes for licensed physical therapists and occupational therapists.

Accurate OASIS coding is essential for all home health clinicians due to the impact that coding has on reimbursement. With the CMS plan to move to a universal outcome measure for all post-acute settings, OASIS will become an important tool beyond home health. Payment through PDGM is driven not only by improvement of quality indicators but through a complicated calculation of risk adjustment driven by baseline functional scores, acute cognitive changes, and hospitalization risk. This course will provide easy to use methods that will improve a clinician’s ability to provide accurate coding to these sections of OASIS E1.   To view accreditation information and access completion requirements to receive a certificate for completing this course, please click here.   The content of this Summit podcast is provided only for educational and training purposes for licensed physical therapists and occupational therapists.
