Standardization of patient care is fast becoming the norm throughout the medical industry. Regardless of whether it is the process associated with heart surgery or the steps that will be followed with a patient for physical therapy after a stroke, the entire medical field is being pushed to standardize how care for all patients is conducted. These changes are being driven by insurance providers and the legal system that demand accountability from medical professionals.
O&P company owners must consider how their care practices can be standardized. Standardization of procedures does NOT mean that clinicians can no longer provide customized products. Rather, standardization means clearly understanding the steps that are to be taken with the wide range of different clinical applications that are handled each day in a clinic.
OMEGA Tracer is designed to help create standardization of processes within an O&P business. Every step that is taken with a patient's shape is automatically documented within OMEGA Tracer. These steps can then be easily reviewed by the clinician, the owner, or can be sent as documentation to an insurance provider. Creating a complete record of the clinician's activities with a patient is fast becoming a requirement, not an optional process.
