In today's episode Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS had the pleasure of interviewing APTA President Roger Herr and asking all of the burning questions about what it's like to run a neuro practice with Medicare as it is and where we're going. Roger shared his journey into physical therapy and his extensive experience in key roles that gave him a wide angle perspective of the profession he advocates for now. Alternative Payment Models for PT Practices - Herr emphasized the importance of finding local, regional payment models that best fit each practice's needs, whether that's working with employers, payers, or patient groups. - He discussed strategies like opting out of Medicare, negotiating contracts, and exploring cash-based services to create sustainable business models. Challenges for Micro Practices - Smaller PT practices often struggle with billing, communicating with payers, and navigating the complexities of Medicare coverage. - Could clearer guidelines around medical necessity and skilled care be a helpful short-term goal? Advocacy Efforts for the PT Profession - Herr highlighted the need to shift from volume-based to value-based care, and to advocate for recognizing the downstream costs and impact on patients. - He discussed opportunities in Medicaid, annual wellness visits, and partnering with patient advocacy groups to drive change. Modernizing Medicare Access - Herr explained efforts to update Medicare legislation and allow beneficiaries to directly contract with physical therapists. - This could provide more flexibility and options for patients, though the details around rules and limitations are still being worked out. Leveraging Technology and AI - Herr shared insights on how technology and AI can support population health management, documentation, and reducing administrative burdens for PT practices.

Dr. F Scott Feil here, and I am excited to talk about this week's episode featuring Roger Herr, President of the APTA and Vice President of Visiting Nurse Society in New York, a physical therapist with extensive experience in leadership and advocacy. Throughout the episode, Herr shares his journey to becoming a leader in the physical therapy field and his experiences serving on the APTA board. Herr's journey started with a change in career direction from engineering to physical therapy, which led him to become involved in district and state advocacy. One of the most impactful moments for Herr came when he found his voice in advocating for patient-centered care at a CMS meeting. From there, he continued to grow as a leader, serving as the president of the Home Health section and the chief delegate in the Seattle chapter. These experiences allowed him to gain a national perspective and ultimately led him to run for and serve on the APTA board. Throughout the episode, Herr also discusses the characteristics that he believes are essential for effective leadership, including understanding the wider set of needs, respecting and utilizing resources, being collaborative, critical thinking, creating a safe space for conversation, and ensuring that all voices are heard. If you're interested in learning more about leadership in the physical therapy field, this episode is a must-listen. Herr's experiences and insights provide valuable lessons for anyone looking to grow as a leader and advocate for their profession. So, tune in and join us for this engaging conversation!

LIVE from Washington DC at the Federal Advocacy Forum through the American Physical Therapy Association, I am joined by Dr. Sharon Dunn to discuss advocacy in physical therapy. Dr. Sharon Dunn is the President of the American Physical Therapy Association. Since beginning service through the professional organization as a student, Sharon has also served as the State Government Affairs Chair; Louisiana chapter President, Vice President, and Delegate. In this episode, we discuss: -Physical therapy advocacy for both the patients and the profession -Policy agenda wins for the APTA -New public policy priorities for 2018 -How to bring advocacy to your community, state and country -And so much more!   Dr. Dunn believes the focus of advocacy efforts should be about the patients as, “Stories are where the meaningful conversations occur.” Dr. Dunn has found, “To bring the patient’s story to the congressional leadership is what really makes a difference.”   Physical therapy advocates have made significant progress on Capitol Hill as Dr. Dunn reassures, “Hill staffers and congress people see the value of hearing from physical therapists and physical therapist assistants.”   Approach legislators with a win-win scenario as Dr. Dunn strategizes, “Never leave that meeting without offering to be a solution.” She reminds, “Share with the legislators what you do for your patients and not always go about the money or the payment but how can physical therapy be a solution to the healthcare crisis in this country.”   For more information on Dr. Dunn: Sharon Dunn, PT, PhD, OCS received her BS in PT in 1987 from LSU Health Sciences Center in her hometown of Shreveport, LA. She has since completed a Master’s of Health in ’96 and a PhD in Cellular Biology and Anatomy in ’06. She has been a faculty member at LSU since 1990, currently as an Associate Professor and Chair of the Rehabilitation Sciences Department. Since beginning service through the professional organization as a student, Sharon has served as the State Government Affairs Chair; Louisiana chapter President, Vice President, and Delegate; and of course is the elected APTA President.   Resources discussed on this show: Sharon Dunn Twitter #ChoosePT Prosper Act PT PAC   Thanks for listening and subscribing to the podcast!

APTA president Sharon Dunn, PhD, PT, OCS. Sharon is an associate professor at Louisiana State University Shreveport’s School of Allied Health Professions, where she specializes in teaching Orthopaedic Physical Therapy and Biomechanics. Sharon earned her BS in Physical Therapy, Master’s in Health Sciences and PhD in the department of Cellular Biology and Anatomy, all from the Louisiana State University Shreveport’s School of Allied Health Professions. In today’s video, Steve and Sharon discuss: When you serve and serve well, you’ll be invited to serve more in a leadership capacity. You don’t lead by position or power, you lead by putting people in their sweet spot for them to excel. Listening is an underappreciated leadership skill. Attend to the highest priority, not the hottest fire. Hone your leadership skills by failing. Tend to the “garden” every day instead of letting the weeds take root.

On today’s episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, Dr. Sharon Dunn, PT, PhD, OCS, the President of the American Physical Therapy Association, joins me to discuss the Combined Sections Meeting in San Antonio, Texas and the APTA’s vision for 2017.

She says the best advice she received was to, “Show up and offer the solutions” to halt the growing opioid crisis with physical therapy.   Dr. Dunn is supervising the launch of the Physical Therapy Outcomes Registry which capitalizes on more clinical data to encourage policy makers to support physical therapy. Dr. Dunn stresses, “We need more data to justify a change in payment.”   To meet the 7 for 2017 goals set by the APTA, Dr. Dunn believes, “The challenge is always alignment of stakeholder roots towards the collective vision of the profession.”   For more information on Sharon: Sharon Dunn, PT, PhD, OCS received her BS in PT in 1987 from LSU Health Sciences Center in her hometown of Shreveport, LA.
