Top 10 Emerging Trends in Physical Therapy Business (and how to take advantage of them)
I foresee some remarkable opportunities and trends for physical therapy business owners in the rest of 2019 and 2020. Here we go:
#1. Security
Private practices that demonstrate their commitment to patient privacy and security of electronic medical records will gain a competitive advantage.
#2. Collaboration
Practices that collaborate with local businesses and physicians to create a win-win referral network will see more patients.
#3. Communication
Practices that communicate with patients using multi-mode mechanisms like email, sms, voice and regular mail will gain more loyalty.
#4. Patient Portal Technology
Practices that send information to and receive information from patients in a secure, HIPAA compliant manner will see increased patient engagement.
#5. Financial planning
Practices that have a 12 month financial projections, with a plan on how to get there, will get there.
#6. Diversification
Practices that offer multiple services, with physical therapy newsletters being the ‘bridge’ connecting them, will survive payer delays / cutbacks.
#7. Specialization
Practices that become ‘the best’ at one / two / maybe three things will gain an iconic status in the local community.
#8. Accountability
Practices that become accountable to other practices / consultants / business coaches will always keep improving.
#9. Culture
Practices in which every single employee comes to work because they are proud, happy, and believe in your clinical and business philosophies will be unbeatable.
#10. Elegance
Practices that pay attention to the small details, that respect the patient, offer empathy, and are committed to service in every way possible will be game-changers in the profession.
If you want to learn more about how to take advantage of each of these trends, I go into a lot more detail during the upcoming Private Practice Summit 2019 event in Las Vegas, NV on October 18, 19 and 20.
