Continuing the care you already started.
When a patient leaves your care, you lose visibility of what happens next — whether the recovery plan you envisioned actually continues, and whether you'll ever hear how it went. OA proposes a different model: a genuine MDT referral partnership across the full continuum, from acute, to rehab, to outpatient.
Continuity of care, guaranteed. When you refer a patient to OA, you're not handing them off — you're extending the care you've already started.
Referring shouldn't mean losing sight of a patient
- Referring a patient into outpatient care often means referring into a black box — no update, no report, no way to know if the plan you set is being followed.
- Without a coordinated MDT on the receiving end, patients fall through gaps between disciplines instead of moving through a continuum.
- There's rarely a direct line back to the treating clinician if something changes in the patient's condition or needs.
A proposed MDT referral loop
OA positions itself as an extension of your own care team within the Acute → Rehab → Outpatient continuum — not a disconnected downstream provider, and not a restart. Your patient's discharge notes and goals feed directly into the OA case plan: the MDT builds on your clinical work, not around it.
In return for a referral, you receive four concrete things:
- Regular progress & outcome reports — structured updates against the goals set at discharge.
- A seat at our MDT case discussions — an open invitation to join the conversation on shared patients, so your clinical input stays part of the plan.
- A direct line to the treating therapist — no call centre, no run-around; you speak directly to the OA clinician managing the case.
- A discharge summary back to you — a full summary at the end of the programme, closing the loop on the referral.
Four things every referral gains
A trusted extension of your practice
One coordinated team picks up where your care leaves off; no gaps, no lost momentum.
Every discipline, one programme
Physio, OT, psychology, speech, and dietetics working together, not in isolation.
No barrier to attending
Transport is arranged for every session, so distance and mobility never break the plan.
Zero admin for you
OA manages medical aid authorisation directly, so referring takes minutes, not hours.
Structured group programmes (stroke, cancer, cardio, psych) add peer accountability alongside each patient's individual plan. Private and cash-pay patients are accepted on-site, with help applying for cover where a patient isn't yet covered.
