For our team, this changes how we operate in Vero Beach versus markets with less specialty depth. We work with detailed treatment plans from a tertiary MS center. We document changes against detailed baseline assessments. We coordinate with neurology nurses, MS-specialized PTs, and specialty pharmacy services through the Cleveland Clinic system. The bar for documentation and clinical specificity is high – and we work to meet that bar consistently.
