Details

FieldValue
NameOwner-led independent US outpatient PT clinic
DescriptionAn independent outpatient clinic, run by an owner who still treats patients, with roughly 2–10 therapists and a mostly musculoskeletal caseload on multi-week home programmes. The owner feels both problems personally (patients who don't do their exercises and evening notes) and can decide on a ~$15-per-patient tool without procurement.
Triggers
  • A therapist quits or threatens to over workload
  • Owner trying to hire and can't
  • Rising payer denials or reauthorisation hassle
  • Patients dropping out mid-episode / empty slots
  • EMR or home-programme contract up for renewal
  • Owner exploring remote monitoring billing (US)
Priority5
Exclusions
  • Hospital and health-system outpatient departments (procurement, Epic-integrated tools)
  • Group practices and roll-ups for now (later segment; central IT decides)
  • Clinics with mostly neuro, paediatric or frail elderly patients who can't film themselves
  • Clinics that mainly do one-off or sports-massage visits without home programmes
Watering holes
  • APTA Private Practice (private-practice section of the American Physical Therapy Association) and its annual conference
  • State PT associations and their private-practice groups
  • Clinic-owner peer groups and Facebook/LinkedIn groups
  • US practice-management coaches and consultants
  • Dana's network of clinic owners
  • EMR user communities (e.g. WebPT)
Strategic insightThe pilot's 3.1 logged sessions a week is roughly 13 days a month; in the US, remote therapeutic monitoring device billing needs 16+ days of data in 30. If Kinetrail can lift patients past that line, a $15 cost could become net revenue for the clinic, and the sales story changes from 'save time' to 'earn more'. That only holds if the first market is the US.

How sure, and why

FieldValue
Evidence questionAt least half of the 6 pilot clinics meet all must-haves (founder). Which must-have do the others miss, and are the most active pilot clinics among the matching ones? Also: do clinics without a front desk get patients filming as well as clinics with one (if not, make 'has a front desk' a must-have)?
Decision ruleIf the most active pilot clinics are among the non-matching ones, or fewer than 15 of the first 25 paying clinics meet all must-haves, revisit the ICP.
