End of Year Reflections – 2021

December 20, 2021

From the desk of Abby Keyton, PT, DPT; CEO, Founder: I have spent the better part of December reflecting on this past year.  The highs, the lows and everything in between.  I try to remain a person that views things through rose-colored glasses, and I am going to remain that way as I reflect on this past year.   2021 was a difficult year for many of us as we continued on the roller coaster of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The effects have been felt both professionally and personally with continued difficult news and events.  Professionally, the therapy world has faced challenges with staffing from both difficulty recruiting as well as increased sick leave of current employees.  We have continued to problem…

What Does Success Mean To You?

Being successful in business can look different to everyone. Maybe success to you is based on improving business metrics. Perhaps success right now may simply be defined as the ability to pay another month’s worth of payroll.  As you look at numbers and close out the first quarter, ask yourself the following questions: What does it mean to be a successful business leader?  Merriam-Webster defines success as a “favorable or desired outcome.” In following this definition, we must then know what outcomes we are targeting in order to know if we have been successful. Business metrics are a main point of focus for all of us when it comes to structuring the business plan. Gross income, number of patient visits,…

Individuality No two physical therapy clinics are the same. They can either differ or share similarities in a variety of factors. These can include location, number of employees, specialties, treatment approaches, etc. Because each clinic is unique, there is a no blanket response APT Management Solutions can provide to help improve efficiency and profitability. In order to determine a clinic’s strengths and weaknesses, an initial assessment is conducted. This allows us to get an idea of the current operations and ascertain where we can provide the most support.

It is nothing short of an understatement to say that everything has been effected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Every industry imaginable, from education to travel, real estate to manufacturing, has been impacted in some capacity. Healthcare, including physical therapy, has been no exception.
