In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry sits down with Patrick Tarnowski, PT, MBA, Chief Commercial Officer of OneStep, a groundbreaking mobile app that measures key mobility data to help identify fall risks and improve patient outcomes.

Patrick shares his extensive background in physical therapy, healthcare administration, and payer-side insights, emphasizing the critical role of objective mobility data in improving patient care and business success. He dives into how OneStep leverages smartphone sensors to analyze gait and movement, providing real-time insights that enhance clinical decision-making, reduce fall risks, and even optimize post-surgical recovery.

Key Takeaways:

• Gait as a Vital Sign: Mobility data is a powerful predictor of health risks—slower gait speed correlates with higher fall risk, mortality, and cognitive decline.

• Seamless Workflow Integration: OneStep fits naturally into existing care models, using devices patients already own (smartphones) to capture actionable data without extra burden.

• Remote Monitoring & Value-Based Care: The app enables providers to track patients remotely, bill for remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM), and justify extended care with insurers using objective metrics.

• Proving Impact: With tools like OneStep, clinics can demonstrate reduced hospital readmissions, shorter skilled nursing stays, and improved outcomes—key for payer negotiations and value-based contracts.

• Expanding Opportunities: From senior living communities to orthotics/prosthetics and cancer rehab, mobility analytics is transforming care delivery across healthcare.

Tune in to learn how leveraging technology doesn’t mean more work—it means better care, stronger data, and smarter business growth.
