How Physiotherapy works in SkillScorer
Score
Each clinician in a ward is scored on the Physiotherapy skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank clinicians, compare two side by side, or compare your wards against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Physiotherapy skills need attention. Reports also follow each senior clinician's ward.
Physiotherapy scorecard: common questions
What skills does the Physiotherapy scorecard include?
SkillScorer's Physiotherapy scorecard covers 12 skills: Assessment, Treatment Planning, Manual Therapy, Exercise Prescription, Patient Communication, Documentation, Clinical Reasoning, Outcome Measurement, Rehabilitation Programming, Patient Education, Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Infection Control and Safety. Each one comes with a written description of what it measures, and you can edit, rename, remove or add skills to suit your organisation.
How are clinicians scored in Physiotherapy?
Every clinician is scored from 1 to 10 on each skill (1 = Poor, 5 = Average, 10 = Elite), one ward and year at a time. Scores autosave in the Skills Matrix, and the 18 built-in reports turn them into rankings, radar charts, skill gaps and year-on-year trends.
Which levels come with Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy starts with these levels (called “Band” in the app): Student, Graduate, Physiotherapist, Senior Physiotherapist and Principal. They are just a starting point, so you can rename, reorder or replace them.
Can I change the Physiotherapy skills and wording?
Yes. The skills, levels and labels are all editable per organisation. In healthcare the app talks about clinicians, wards and senior clinicians, and you can change any of those words too.
