The rapid rise of AI chat presenting as therapists has spurred a reaction to differentiate what AI can do versus the work of a licensed therapist.

This is causing many people to look more closely at the question:

What Is Therapy?

In today’s discussion, we’ll both look back at how therapy has been understood historically and look forward to cutting-edge research like “interpersonal neural synchrony,” which is being studied across therapy professions and perhaps paving the way for a unified definition of therapy and its biological mechanisms. Understanding therapy in a neurobiological way will also help us understand why therapy is so often measured by triangulating multiple outcome measures.

We are joined in the course by Megan Cornish, LICSW, and we hope it will inspire you to consider the remarkable power of therapeutic relationships (that we are just at the beginning of understanding.)

It’s hard to overstate how important it is for OTs and PTs to understand the new value-based care models.

But, let’s be honest—they are an overwhelming and confusing alphabet soup (TEAM, LEAD, GUIDE, ACO REACH), and that’s just the acronyms.

For OTs and PTs, understanding these models will be the difference between being embedded in the healthcare team of the future—where we deliver highly valued care—and falling into obscurity while our patients receive sub-par care.
Luckily, we have a master at demystifying the complex, Dana Strauss, back on the podcast. You’ll learn:

-How to analyze new models
-How to understand your potential role in them
-How to move your career and your organization forward

I know therapists are so busy on the ground, but we can’t afford to miss this one.

We all know that documentation is a heavy burden for therapists. But home health therapists arguably face one of the heaviest loads, with mandated OASIS reporting layered on top of standard clinical documentation — a dual requirement unique to this setting.

They also face challenges that clinic-based therapists rarely encounter: coordinating care across disciplines — physicians, nurses, and other therapists — often without shared documentation systems, as well as navigating privacy considerations and internet instability when documenting in patients’ homes.

But, as we’ve already discussed around outpatient EHRs, there are changes on the horizon. In this discussion, we’ll zoom in on what’s becoming possible in this complex environment, from clinical decision support to practical automation. We’ll be joined by Rohit Shetty of AutoMynd — Rohit is excellent at explaining exactly what’s possible, while staying grounded in reality.
