Publisher's Synopsis
The advent of Health Care Reform Act of 2010 heralds the shift from the traditionally paternalistic medical model of providing care to a more patient-oriented, outcome-based intervention that places emphasis on the quality of patient care provided rather than a focus on productivity and cost reimbursement. The current trend among most outpatient rehabilitation clinics attached to a hospital is the lack of an organized method of documenting services that would reflect patient-centered, outcome-based interventions that are measurable and research-friendly. The goal of this program is to facilitate the adoption of a web-based documentation system for outpatient rehabilitation professionals in order to keep abreast with the recent changes in the healthcare industry.
