In this episode of the GoToPhysio podcast, Dave O'Sullivan discusses the GoToClinic patient journey, outlining a six-stage framework designed to enhance patient engagement, improve therapy outcomes, and increase referrals. Each stage is critical for ensuring patients progress through their treatment effectively, from initial buy-in to achieving their defined value outcomes. The conversation emphasises the importance of metrics in tracking success and the need for therapists to adapt their approaches based on patient feedback and experiences.
