Dana Retzow Privatleistungen in der Ergo- und Physiotherapie

About this book

Occupational and physical therapy practices face enormous challenges today. Increased competition, rising cost pressures, and growing patient demands are fundamentally changing working conditions. A therapist must now also think like an entrepreneur.

The increasing demand for individual therapy approaches is prompting practices to strategically expand their range of private services. To succeed in this dynamic environment, it is crucial to ensure economic stability while providing high-quality patient care. Expanding the spectrum of treatments and offering private services are essential. Complementary procedures are an important component, with 64% of therapists already relying on them. The range of services offered has been shown to influence the profitability of private services.

This book offers a well-founded analysis of the role of private services as a strategic instrument. Based on systematic research, the central questions are answered:

• How do private services contribute to the economic stability of occupational and physical therapy practices?
• Which private services are particularly in demand, and how does the range of services offered by occupational therapists and physical therapists differ?
• How do regional characteristics affect the utilization and profitability of private services?

The book provides valuable insights. It is aimed at practice owners, therapists, and decision-makers. Do you want to make your practices future-proof? Sustainably increase your economic success? Here you will find the basis for strategic decisions and suggestions for optimizing your range of services.
