Healthcare is shades of grey, data science loves black and white. Makes the back end extremely disorganized.

“right kind of data” definitely key.

@benjamin-schwartz-md-faaos — what are your thoughts on MMT? my opinion- invalid data, no interrater reliability. Sad that this is the standard for measuring strength improvements throughout rehab

@justin-martin – I’ll go back and forth with agencies regarding “note corrections” … I want this process to be automated but seems to me that it is still a manual process in order to allow companies to exploit medicare– have you had similar experiences? Please share, would love to find a way to economize this process

Process is as follows:

1. Complete therapy note
2. Submit
3. Agency reviews manually
4. Agency responds with corrections (change therapy frequency, add more goals, elaborate on your clinical summary)
5. Make associated corrections and resubmit.

The changes almost always are in regards to the free text inputs…basically “say this so we get paid” … have you come across situations like this?
