Our Mission
The mission at StepMed is to assist all patients to reach their optimal function levels (physically and emotionally), to enable optimal independence and access to activities of daily living. In short, we would like to facilitate your rehabilitation journey to achieve the best quality of life possible, making the best use of the resources available to you and to us.
Our Vision
StepMed functions within an Evidence Based Practice (EBP) context. This means that we base our treatment of patients on a combination of the following principles:
- Best current evidence (research, patient feedback, clinical observations);
- Client values and preferences (taking each client’s individual needs, support frameworks;
- Feelings and goals into account); and
- Clinical experience and expertise.
- Knowledge (our clinical tools and techniques obtained through training)
- Elucidation (the ability to understand our available clinical tools to enable the selection of the right tool for the right task)
- Service (Our goal in collecting knowledge is not for our own sakes, but to serve others)
Our Focus
StepMed is not just celebrating the gift of an individual, but focusing on the developing of a next generation. True greatness is not just being successful ourselves, but producing other therapists who are also just as, or even more successful. Producing a next generation of leaders to multiply our influence, securing that our dream will be achieved and that our patients will excel.
We value our patients therfore we believe that (Evidance Based parctise) EBP planning and decision-making are grounded in the foundational platforms of Professionalism and Ethics. Professionalism encompassing
• Knowledge (our clinical tools and techniques obtained through training)
• Elucidation (the ability to understand our available clinical tools to enable the selection of the right tool for the right task)
• Service (Our goal in collecting knowledge is not for our own sakes, but to serve others)
Ethics referring to:
• Autonomy (to respect and protect the patient’s right to make their own decisions)
• Non-maleficence (to not purposely do anything that will harm a patient or put a patient at risk)
• Benificence (to always act in the best interest and to the benefit of the patient)
• Justice (to treat all patients with equality and fairness; to make the best use of available resources)
