Aegis Acute Rehab — Enhanced Clinical Results
Home » Service Offerings » Enhanced Clinical Results |
Rehabilitation programs are necessary in acute-care hospitals to manage patient care and outcomes. Developing quality programs requires operational, financial and regulatory expertise, and Aegis Acute Rehab has developed effective tools and programs that will maximize your patients’ outcomes and improve your hospital’s Scorecard numbers.
Aegis has a unique Rehabilitation Outcome Measure (ROM) system that quantitatively demonstrates the impact we have on patients’ daily lives in terms of the improvements in function they achieve as a result of treatment. This powerful tool alone can help you forecast outcomes accurately—and better outcomes automatically mean better patient satisfaction.
Though our clinical programs are beneficial for all age groups, the "Freedom Through Functionality" and "Freedom Through Restoration" programs offer special advantages for your older patients.
“Freedom Through Functionality”
If you ask your elderly patients receiving therapy what is important to them, they’ll likely tell you it’s the freedom and independence to do things for themselves. To fill that need, Aegis joined forces with Nautilus to develop a unique strength-building program for the elderly.
Our “Freedom Through Functionality” program is modeled on clinical evidence demonstrating that a regular program of strength building is a highly effective way to increase an elderly person’s mobility and independence. Proven benefits include improved quality of life, improved body composition, increased muscle strength, enhanced joint flexibility, enhanced functional capacity, improved mobility and reduced number of falls.
“Freedom Through Restoration”
Clinicians frequently use therapy machines to treat problems like pain and swelling in younger adults. But we’ve found that seniors also can benefit from this type of treatment. Under our “Freedom Through Restoration” program, we offer therapy protocols designed specifically for the health conditions common to seniors, and our clinicians are specially trained to manage this type of therapy. This program is based on years of experience with thousands of older patients. These patients enjoy better mobility, less pain, greater joint flexibility, faster recovery, earlier discharge from therapy and an enhanced quality of life.
Our protocols are consistent with standards established by APTA and AOTA, and are used in accordance with guidelines established by CMS. Also, we work closely with family physicians to maximize patient outcomes, which in turn minimizes patient dependency and cost of care.
