Why Success-Thread (5-STEPS-to-Excellence) is also compatible with healthcare practices – using the example of physiotherapy
In medical and health care, it is of central importance to structure the treatment strategy clearly and efficiently. Such a structured approach ensures that patients receive the best possible care and optimal results are achieved.
Physiotherapy, a field that deals with the rehabilitation of patients with movement disorders, particularly benefits from a systematic approach.
Here is Success-Thread (5-STEPS-to-Excellence) in the practice: A patient has severe knee pain in the meniscus.
Primary success is defined as the restoration of mobility and function of the knee, allowing the patient to carry out everyday activities again without pain. A secondary goal could be the prevention of future injuries.
One thing is clear: there can only be a chance of success if the patient really wants it.
Before therapy begins, a detailed discussion is held with the patient to clarify the exact symptoms, goals and concerns. It also clarifies what the patient expects from the therapy and how the physiotherapy guidelines and protocols can help.
Important expectations are also set by the health insurance company, among others. The therapy should be both inexpensive and effective.
An individual treatment plan is drawn up based on the initial diagnosis and the patient’s expectations.
This plan could include: manual therapy, targeted exercises for strengthening and mobility, application of cold or heat and possibly recommendations for activity restriction.
Start of regular therapy sessions. The physiotherapist continuously monitors progress and adjusts the treatments accordingly. Homework is also given in the form of exercises for the patient to do at home to support the healing process.
Once the treatment plan has been completed, a final assessment is carried out to ensure that the objectives have been achieved. In addition, a preventive plan could be drawn up to avoid future injuries. The patient is informed about the importance of continuing certain exercises and practices in order to ensure the success achieved in the long term.
By systematically applying the Success-Thread (5-STEPS-to-Excellence), the physiotherapist can be sure that they are both meeting the patient’s individual needs and following professional guidelines and best practices in physiotherapy.
