Accelerated Care Plus (ACP) is the nation's leading provider of integrated clinical programs for sub-acute and long-term care rehabilitation providers. ACP's specialized treatment programs combine innovative medical technology with evidence-based clinical protocols and advanced therapist training. Developed over a 15 year period, the programs help skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, outpatient clinics and other rehabilitation providers raise standards of care, improve treatment outcomes and enhance quality-of-life for aging adults and others in the community. ACP's specialized treatment programs and patented therapeutic modalities are used in thousands of facilities throughout the U.S., including the most recognized long-term care providers in the industry. In conjunction with these partnering facilities, ACP's vision is to "Revolutionize Rehabilitation."
ACP's specialized treatment programs are implemented "on-site" with the partnering facility's therapy and nursing staff, in conjunction with ACP's licensed clinicians. The non-invasive, medication-free programs address a wide range of prevalent conditions including pain, inflammation, neuromuscular re-education, stroke recovery, contractures, urinary incontinence, wounds, joint replacement recovery, COPD, rheumatoid arthritis, knee osteoarthritis, herpes zoster and fall prevention. By introducing these treatment options, therapists, are able to improve treatment outcomes for a broader range of patients and more medically complex conditions.
The programs are founded in current medical research using recognized sources such as The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), The Cochrane Collaboration, The Ottawa Panel, The Philadelphia Panel, The Evidence-based Practice Center ECRI and other refereed publications. Comprehensive in nature, each of ACP's clinical programs address proper patient evaluation, disease pathology, anatomy, physiology, and mechanism-of-action, as well as related documentation, regulatory compliance and reimbursement considerations.
ACP's rehabilitation programs are built around proven medical technology, called "Therapeutic Modalities". The devices are well documented for clinical efficacy and have been used successfully for many years in a variety of treatment settings including long-term care, physical therapy, orthopedics, outpatient facilities and elite athletics, where ACP is the "equipment of choice" for nearly 100 professional and collegiate sports teams.
In an increasingly challenging healthcare environment, rehabilitation providers are looking for effective, cost-efficient treatment solutions that improve patient care and strengthen their clinical practice. Perhaps that's why the industry's most progressive rehabilitation providers are partnering with Accelerated Care Plus. Welcome to the ACP Advantage.
Corporate Overview
Accelerated Care Plus Corporation (ACP) is headquartered in Reno, Nevada. The company is a subsidiary of the Hanger Orthopedic Group (NYSE: HGR), the world's premier provider of orthotic and prosthetic patient care services.
From 1973 to 1992, ACP operated solely as a medical device manufacturer and was responsible for numerous innovations, patents and industry firsts. In 1993, the Company expanded its offerings to answer a growing need in long-term care for professional therapist education and outcomes-driven clinical programs. ACP was the first physical agent modality company in the industry to introduce this integrated “program” driven approach, combining its patented medical technology with evidence-based clinical programs, CEU-approved therapist training and ongoing program support using licensed clinicians.
Today, ACP’s integrated "Clinical Solutions," are used by thousands of recognized long-term facilities, outpatient clinics and home health agencies throughout the U.S. including 20 of the top 25 nursing home corporations in the country. These comprehensive clinical programs allow rehabilitation providers to improve treatment outcomes for a broader range of patients and more medically complex conditions. With higher standards of care, ACP’s partnering facilities are also able to address quality indicators and other quality assurance measures, while strengthening their clinical practice.
ACP currently employs more than 140 full-time employees dedicated to the support of its integrated clinical programs. The majority of these employees are licensed clinicians strategically located throughout the U.S. to manage ACP’s "on-site" programs with partnering facilities. These "Clinical Program Managers" provide on-going program support, CEU-approved therapist training, practice management consultation and scheduled FDA safety inspections for ACP’s medical devices.
ACP’s mission is to "Revolutionize Rehabilitation" through progressive medical technology, comprehensive clinical programs, professional education and ongoing support that enable rehabilitation providers to improve quality of care,
while growing their clinical practice.
