BRICKWillow Springs Medical Center & RehabilitationOrthoWIN, a highly specialized subacute care program for orthopedic healing, has been introduced by Brick. The interdisciplinary care team at the skilled nursing facility is supporting the new project, which is being directed by Jennifer Scheick, MD, a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) specialist.
Willow Springs is supported by Marquis Health Consulting Services, which created OrthoWIN. Patients recovering from a variety of orthopedic operations and injuries are served by the PM&R-centered care model, which is most suited for patients with co-morbidities and those lacking the social support system to recuperate on their own at home. The goal of PM&R, commonly referred to as physiatry, is to restore function and health through an integrated treatment plan that includes physical therapy and pain management.
According to Marquis, OrthoWIN answers a direct want for this kind of trained nursing specialty from healthcare institutions. Kate Bauer is the market development regional director. After surgery or an injury, Willow Springs wants to assist its local hospital partners in navigating the journey straight home.
With its standardized approach and unambiguous quality metrics, the OrthoWIN platform offers wound care management, a guided PM&R plan, therapy services seven days a week when necessary, and communication with the patient’s surgical team regarding their preferences. OrthoWIN’s whole body approach, coordinated by Dr. Scheick, provides tailored support to treat complex situations and co-morbidities; for instance, it may easily connect with Willow Springs’ physician-led programs for pulmonary care and cardiac care. A virtual or in-person home examination before discharge is another feature of OrthoWIN, along with education for patients and caregivers.
Board-certified in PM&R, Dr. Scheick has given numerous presentations on stroke and neurorehabilitation. She previously held the positions of Transitional Year Resident at Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Chester, Pennsylvania, and Chief Resident of PM&R at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute in Edison, New Jersey.
According to Bauer, Willow Springs is lucky to have Dr. Scheick spearhead this new project with the help of a committed group of gifted experts. Willow Springs is in a good position to close the distance between home and hospital because to OrthoWIN.
