Therapy Management Challenges
Difficulty maintaining staffing and managing costs
Staffing senior care therapy departments is a volatile task requiring dedicated recruiting resources and a never-ending effort acquiring and keeping therapists. Therapy talent acquisition is compounded by some of the highest salary costs in the nursing home business and requires a mix of experienced therapy professionals with newly licensed therapists to round out a cost-effective therapy department.
In addition to managing therapist payroll and therapy costs, therapy department mistakes in coding and scheduling cost nursing homes greatly in denials and denied claims management. It does not take long for a therapy department to become a management and financial drain on nursing home operations.
