Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM), which affect much of healthcare this fall has been implemented. Some speech therapists are wondering. Will PDPM help us provide quality care to our patients? We pursued our field to improve the lives of others. However, we don’t treat patients in a vacuum. At times culture and regulations of organizations, state, and nation create challenges to service delivery. Speech-language care can outshine challenging circumstances when the patient and the therapist rapport is enhanced. Patients need our skill, and we need their motivation and best effort. What are your thoughts about the future of service delivery? Our team at Tiptop Speech seeks to elevate the collaborative therapeutic experiences between therapists, patients, and caregivers. We believe that there is great opportunity in them. We are looking for “a few good SLPs” to join us. Sign-up for our free webinars to learn more about how we help speech therapists provide optimum service to patients.
