BPTC MISSION STATEMENT (PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES)
The physical therapy office exists for the care and treatment of those who are in need of restorative services, utilizing physical therapy procedures and techniques. These procedures/techniques include, but are not limited to, therapeutic exercise, heat, water, cold, traction, electricity, massage, manual skills, etc. All billable physical therapy services will only be administered by Pennsylvania licensed physical therapists, physical therapy assistants and, in some cases, athletic trainers.
Those patients who are beyond the scope of the expertise offered at the Clinic, do not have rehabilitative potential or have reached maximum benefit, will not be treated and will be referred to the appropriate specialist or discharged to a home program. In addition, patients who are known to have an active infectious or contagious process will not be treated.
Goals and objectives for each patient will be individually established through the physician, patient, and family following a thorough evaluation. A treatment plan will be established according to the needs identified in the evaluation and appropriate progression of treatment will be administered. Timely and appropriate re-assessments will be done and compared to the initial findings.
Written and verbal reports regarding patient progress will be sent to the attending physician, specialists, payers, patient and their family.
Patient care will be a top priority, with emphasis on a professional and thorough initial evaluation, utilizing the most modern equipment, techniques, and procedures available in a caring atmosphere, in order to aid the patient in reaching the highest level of functional independence with the least amount of assistive devices.
The code of ethics as defined by the American Physical Therapy Association and the state of Pennsylvania will be adopted.
A total person philosophy, including the physical, emotional and spiritual components of each person, will be utilized. To help give foundational principles for spiritual issues, a traditional biblical Christian viewpoint will be used. The main theme is found in Colossians 3:23, "Whatever you do, do as unto the Lord," and the golden rule, "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you".
It is imperative that each employee understand, agree with and reflect this Mission Statement of the Clinic.
