Outcomes-Based Payment and Health Care

As health care moves to outcomes-based payment, it will be critical for PTs to have access to real-time clinical data to understand how they perform, identify areas to improve quality, and manage patient populations. Without data physical therapists will be unable to receive future incentive payments. APTA's Physical Therapy Outcomes Registry will have the ability to extract information from electronic health records, allowing your clinical data to be readily usable and actionable.

Good to Know

The Physical Therapy Outcomes Registry can help you elevate patient care through data-informed clinical decision making and visualize the value of your care with easy-to-use reporting tools. Joining the Registry also can help you maximize payment potential, demonstrate the value of physical therapist services, and seize opportunities to participate in collaborative care.

Using the Registry does not increase workload on staff. Data will be extracted automatically from your EHR and transmitted directly to the Registry, which will be integrated with most major EHR products.

The Registry allows you to: track patients across multiple episodes of care; access nonproprietary, CMS-supported outcomes measures, in addition to vendor-specific measures; and treat patients according to clinical practice guidelines using body region/disease-specific treatment and outcome modules.
