St. Louis PT practice trains more staff
Brefeld Physical Therapy outside St. Louis implemented OccuPro innovative approach to industrial rehab and recently sent another staff member to OccuPro's Comprehensive Industrial Rehabilitation Training continuing education course. Brefeld Physical Therapy is a clinic in the greater St. Louis area that specializes in the treatment of the injured worker and as they continue to grow their return to work specialty they wanted more of their professional staff trained.
Brefeld Physical Therapy used to perform Functional Capacity Evaluations with a different FCE software system but was not satisfied with the results obtained from either of the systems they previously used. As their FCE practice continued to grow they wanted to implement a more comprehensive approach to industrial rehab, a more thorough software system for FCE's, and implement the most profitable approach to industrial rehab.
Brefeld PT's owner and now other staff members have been taught how to implement and use the industry's most comprehensive suite of web based industrial rehab software. The software OccuPro implemented into Brefeld Physical Therapy offers six different industrial rehab testing options which produces eight different return to work reports all in one system.
Many rehab facilities looking to implement industrial rehab are turning to OccuPro's software and training secondary to the innovative products they offer in their program. These innovative products include Functional Progress Notes TM and Functional Discharge Summaries TM which are functional re-assessments that are performed during outpatient therapy. Unlike an FCE that tests a persons entire body, these functional re-assessments test the injured joint to help determine if the injured joint is ready to return to full duty work. These functional re-assessments do not require a Dr's order, do not require insurance approval, and usually are a 50% to 100% higher charge ticket as compared to a standard re-eval charge tickets.
The methodologies OccuPro teaches clinics throughout the United States include implementing a full approach to industrial rehab from initial outpatient eval all the way to return to work. Clinics that implement OccuPro's Online Assessment Application and participate in their Comprehensive Industrial Rehab Training course are clinics that specialize in the treatment of the injured worker.
OccuPro's Online Assessment Application is the fastest growing tool for therapy practitioners to implement a very customizable industrial rehab assessment tool. The Online Assessment Application has the most testing options available on the open market which include 
performing:
- Functional Capacity Evaluation
