Phzio LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Dear Colleagues, THE BUSINESS OF THE SECTION Thank you for attending the 2016 PPS Annual Conference and Exhibi- tion at the Wynn Las Vegas. PPS members have always been happy to Wednesday, October 19 return to Las Vegas and this year is no exception. We are on track to 8:00 am – 1:00 pm break all attendance records this year! PPS Board of Directors Meeting
During this year of celebrating the Section’s first 60 years, I am struck by 5:15 pm – 8:00 pm Awards Ceremony, PPS 60th Anniversary how many themes and challenges remain unchanged. What started in 1956 Celebration, and President’s Reception as “The Self-Employed Section” (later changed to Private Practice Section in 1975) has throughout its history looked at business practices (contractual agreements between physical therapists Thursday, October 20 and hospitals was piquing interest in the 1960s), legislative advocacy (including a grassroots effort in 7:30 am – 10:30 am Breakfast with Keynote, General Business 1981 to respond to new salary equivalency guidelines published in the Federal Register), and practice Meeting, and Candidates’ Speeches management (computer-enhanced office operations was a hot topic in the 1990s). “The more things change, the more they stay the same” has never felt more appropriate. Saturday, October 22 8:00 am – 10:30 am In 1997, the Section’s bylaws were reorganized to expand the Section’s purpose to include “promotion of Breakfast and Closing Keynote free enterprise as a method of satisfying the physical therapy needs of the public.” It’s not a big leap from that to the Section’s current mission to “Champion the success of the physical therapist in business.”
As we gather this week to learn together and have fun together, I hope you will join me in reflecting on the members who have come before us to build and sustain this great Section. As President of PPS, it is my honor to represent the 4,200 proud members of the Private Practice Section and to join my colleagues on the PPS Board of the Directors, the PPS Staff, and the more than 100 member volunteers who work on Committees, Task Forces, and in other supporting roles to champion your success.
Here’s to the next 60 years! Special Thanks to our Warmest wishes, Sponsors 2016 PRIVATE PRACTICE SECTION ANNUAL CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION

Mobile technology has changed everything about our world. The way we work. The way we play. The way we communicate, navigate, shop, share, research…and now, it’s changing how consumers choose to get healthy. GeiaFit™ is harnessing the power of mobile technology to help physical therapists deliver top quality care the way patients expect. Conveniently. Affordably. Effectively. Patients will not choose multiple offi ce visits after a long commute, or pay excessive copays on top of childcare costs. But they will choose practical solutions for feeling better and getting healthy. GeiaFit™ meets patient needs with a solution that helps build your practice. With goal tracking, personal exercise prescription videos and communication tools, GeiaFit ensures quality care while delivering value for you and your patients. Because we believe in doing more than simply surviving the tidal wave of consumer choice, we intend to thrive in it. And we can help you thrive too.

2016 ROBERT G. DICUS AWARD David Qualls, PT The Private Practice Section's Board of Directors is very pleased to announce that the 2016 Robert G. Owner Dicus Award winner is David Qualls, PT. For the last four decades, David has exemplified the highest level Qualls & Co. of servant leadership, in both his professional and personal communities. As a PT, he has been actively involved in advocacy of this profession at the state and national levels through his ongoing participation in both the Louisiana Physical Therapy Association and the APTA. David has served in various capacities with both organizations, including as president and chief delegate of the LPTA and as a member of the PPS Board of Directors. He has indeed mastered the art of balancing patient care while advocating and protecting our profession. Moreover, his role as a servant leader has extended beyond the bounds of our professional arena and into David’s own personal community. If you know David, you are aware that his community involvement lights up his face; it is simply an extension of all that he sees as his responsibility to give back from what he calls his treasure trove of experiences. He inspires others by his quiet demeanor, steadfast faith in his abilities and those of others, and a sense of humor that keeps everyone reminded that life is good. Indeed, David is the definition of a “Southern Gentleman.” Yet, he is also a sharp and cunning PT who has stood firm in representing both the profession and our patients. In light of his many years of humble leadership and his continued advocacy of our profession, it is an honor of this organization to bestow the 2016 Robert G. Dicus Award to David Qualls.

SPEAR Physical Therapy Centers of New York City Snyder Practice Award. SPEAR PT has made a uniquely positive impact on the profession of physical therapy.

SPEAR was the first physical therapy private practice to ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange when on May 4, 2016, during small business week, they were featured live on MSNBC. This nationally covered event put private PT practice in the spotlight. In addition to leadership, SPEAR PT also has a very intense clinical focus and is a leader in the field. In 2013, Columbia University presented SPEAR with the Leadership in Clinical Education award. SPEAR prides itself on their clinical mentoring program, as well as their monthly manual therapy workshops. These group sessions allow therapists to hone their clinical skills through a collaborative learning approach, with an emphasis on striving toward growth and clinical excellence. Every team member at SPEAR lives and breathes their SPEAR-IT values and strives to provide a personalized experience with clinical excellence and 5-star customer service. As a group, they have been able to impact the lives of over 10,000 New Yorkers this year across their 9 Manhattan locations. Since its founding in 1999 by Dan Rootenberg and David Endres, SPEAR Physical Therapy has become one of the faster growing outpatient physical therapy providers in New York City. Our collective congratulations to Dan and the entire team at Spear PT.

2016 PPS Award Winners
FRIEND OF PRIVATE PRACTICE AWARD James C. Hall The PPS Board of Directors is pleased to honor Jim Hall of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, as the recipient of the Owner and General Manager section’s 2016 Friend of Private Practice Award. Jim truly exemplifies advocacy and support of private Rehab Management Services, LLC practice across this country. Though an accountant by trade, Jim has supported our collective mission and vision for years. Jim first started contributing to the PT community on a national level through frequent postings on PT Manager.com, a website that began in 1998 and continues to be considered a “go to” resource for private practitioners. Through this contribution he began to develop relationships with clinicians, business owners, and other experts in the national physical therapy private practice arena. Jim’s contributions include serving on the PPS payment policy committee from 2012 until present. He is also the payment policy committee liaison to the PPS administrator counsel. This past spring, Jim joined the Iowa delegation at the APTA Government Affairs Forum in Washington, D.C., advocating for our causes to members of Congress. Despite the fact that Jim is not a physical therapist, he passionately advocates for the profession as though he is. His dedication to our profession has been demonstrated time and time again by the countless hours spent working to improve our future as private practice business owners. If you know Jim, you also know that he does this not to advance himself or his business but rather he does this because of the passion that he has for our profession. On behalf of our profession, thank you for your contribution.
PRIVATE PRACTICE SECTION SERVICE AWARD Jim Morgan The PPS Board of Directors is pleased to present the 2016 Board Service Award to Jim Morgan. This Owner/President award was established by the PPS Board of Directors to honor an individual who has made extraordinary Let’s Meet, Inc. contributions above and beyond the duties of their position. Jim’s service to the section over the past 15 years as our conference planner and director exemplifies the intent of this award. As the Owner/President of Let’s Meet, Inc., Jim and his Let’s Meet family are a staple of the PPS Annual Conference and have provided the foresight and leadership to make the meeting not only the best meeting in physical therapy but one of the finest professional meetings in the country. Under Jim’s stewardship, attendance at the PPS annual conference has grown 225%. He has endured three different PPS presidents and worked with multiple program chairs, driving us to always provide the best possible product. What comes off as a polished final product is largely due to Jim’s tireless behind-the-scenes manipulations. Jim’s professional expertise is unequaled, but it is his humor, compassion, and love for the section that makes him extraordinary. Jim’s career has spanned many fields—none of which included being a physical therapist—but over the years the knowledge he has gained about issues that face the successful physical therapist in private practice that have been useful in his own entrepreneurial career. Having worked with PPS is one of his proudest engagements. Jim is grateful to have had the opportunity to work with the very talented and dedicated PPS members and staff whose commitment to the section has shaped PPS and who continue to strive to make PPS viable and set the standard for all physical therapists, especially those in private practice. The Private Practice Section is honored to have Jim as our friend and colleague.

CEU = 1.5 PT private practices are looking for cash based ways to improve the bottom line. Over 11 years of private practice I have developed an almost fool proof way to sell great products that patients need and want. In 2015 my clinic (3 therapists) sold LaFleur $24,000 of products for cash at a profit of approximately 40-50%. I can teach this because I do it every day, day in and Advanced day out from ordering products, negotiating prices to having satisfied lifetime customers. We even rent out products they can use while in care and then at the end of care either return them or purchase the product. This system and a number Keith Glasser, MSPT, Cert MDT of other systems used will be presented. Let’s face it PT’s: we are a service based business that requires that customers buy Owner Optimal Results Physical Therapy our ideas, products, services and PT care. Customers who choose our clinics need these products to resolve their physical dysfunction(s).

#T05 – PHYSICAL THERAPIST AS THE ENTRY POINT FOR ALL PATIENTS WITH LOW BACK PAIN: HOW TO BE THE SOLUTION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE 3RD PARTY PAYER CEU = 1.5 The expenditures for low back pain in healthcare cannot be controlled by the traditional clinical pathways. We as physical therapists are all aware of the Virginia Mason study of 2007, so why has the pathway not changed? Dr. Margaux 2 Julie fritz has shown us in 2015 that still only approximately 3% of LBP patients are using Physical Therapist as their Intermediate entry point into Healthcare.
