Knee and hip replacements are more popular than ever. They are among the most common elective surgeries in the United States. Advances in procedures and implants have now made outpatient joint replacement common.
More and more patients recovering from these surgeries are turning to home health for their post-surgery physical therapy. Home health offers flexible scheduling for busy patients who can’t afford time off of work and provides solutions for those patients not released to drive who have limited access to transportation.
Another benefit home health agencies provide is the presence of nutrition counselors in the patient’s home. These agencies often have registered dietitians on staff to offer nutritional counseling and create individual dietary plans for patients who have special dietary needs.
If you are a home health agency, you know all of these great benefits that your agency can provide and you need to show that to others.
Here are four ways you can promote the benefit of choosing home health for joint replacement post-surgical rehab:
Partner with local orthopedic clinics: You can provide bone density testing at local community events and hand out branded flyers to guests.
Host lunch & learns: You can hold these events at local senior centers to show how simple physical activity can increase bone tissue and stability in older adults. While you are there, you can educate guests about your services with branded marketing materials.
Provide marketing materials to your referral partners about conditions that can contribute to low bone density, such as diabetes, MS, and rheumatoid arthritis: Grab any of these flyers and more by clicking here: https://www.tagwebstore.com/disease-information-brochures.php
