How Clinicians Benefit from Using FeldCare Connects
FeldCare Connects links home healthcare companies with rehabilitation specialists. The clinicians who use our network are speech-language pathologists (SLPs), Occupational Therapists (OTs), and Physical Therapists (PTs).
These rehabilitation specialists connect with home healthcare companies with more patients than their in-house clinicians can serve. Providing access to un-salaried clinicians working ad hoc allows home healthcare companies to help their patients, reducing wait times and providing patients with vital rehabilitation.
How SLPs Benefit from Using FeldCare Connects
Speech therapists most commonly work in a pediatric setting. However, many home health patients are older adults. This means that SLPs can benefit from signing up for FeldCare Connects by:
- Helping patients outside of the school year.
- Gaining additional experience with older patients.
- Expanding their knowledge base by fulfilling additional certification requirements.
- Utilizing their creativity by providing care in a home health setting.
- Gaining additional income while still using the skills they’ve honed during their clinical or school position.
How OTs Benefit from Using FeldCare Connects
Many occupational therapists work in a hospital, clinical, or pediatric setting. Finding freelance work through FeldCare Connects can benefit OTs by:
- Utilizing the patient’s natural environment for therapy – rather than a clinical one.
- Gaining new knowledge and experience with patients outside of their usual clinical setting.
- Providing the opportunity for the OT to name a specialty with the FeldCare app – allowing the clinician to hone their skills in a particular area.
- Giving the OT the ability to choose their own schedule and patient load.
- Exposing the OT to different patients with various rehabilitation needs.
How PTs Benefit from Using FeldCare Connects
Often, physical therapists work in an outpatient setting. However, the companies that utilize FeldCare Connects to access PT are in the home-health space. Using FeldCare Connects means that PTs have the opportunity to expand their skillsets and:
- Choose the location and schedule during which they will provide care.
- Access the patient’s daily environment so that the PT can a) make sure the patient knows how to perform exercises at home and b) make improvements to the home environment, which will make rehab more effective.
- Make additional income outside of their salaried position.
- Select the specific areas they’d like to specialize in and focus on those specialties.
- allowing the PT to utilize entrepreneurial and executive functioning skills.
