TheraFlow Supervisor

5 reports

An opportunity to create a tool that helps physical therapy clinical instructors manage high concurrent patient loads while integrating student supervision, reducing burnout and unpaid overtime. This addresses the gap where current software focuses on scheduling/billing but not real-time workload balancing in busy rehab settings.

“A physical therapist is concerned that an outpatient clinic is re-admitting recently discharged patients with new scripts, which they view as overutilization without a documented decline or new incident.”

“Physical therapists in outpatient private practices cannot provide one-on-one care due to insurance reimbursement cuts, forcing them to treat multiple patients simultaneously, which compromises patient outcomes.”
