For the Facility

How the SOLO-STEP® system can help a company’s bottom line.

1. Marketing:
The SOLO-STEP® System is a unique tool that allows patients and their families to see positive results immediately. It is a wonderful marketing tool to differentiate facilities from their competitors.

2. Reimbursement:
In this age of denials, the SOLO-STEP® System gives you an added bonus as a skilled tool that payers can understand. When the product is explained to reviewers, they typically have a better understanding of how services are and should continue as skilled.

3. Liability:
The SOLO-STEP® System can limit your exposure to risk. In conjunction with a competent rehab specialist, the product makes falls a thing of the past.

4. Injury:
Typically, if a patient falls, the therapist does the best he or she can to slow the fall or protect the patient from injury. But the SOLO-STEP® System can do the heavy lifting. Think of it as the most inexpensive insurance policy you ever owned.

5. Productivity
Departments often have high needs with high-risk patients for multi-therapist treatments. The SOLO-STEP® System allows for easy set up with the most challenging patients and then one-on-one care for the majority of the treatment.
