    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.

      3 Reasons to Enroll

      1. It’s easy.
        The Registry is user-friendly and requires little user maintenance. There is no need to reorganize your practice’s workflow or develop a custom interface. The Registry directly integrates with multiple third-party electronic health record (EHR) systems to seamlessly and securely transfer data to an unprecedented database of patient episodes.
      2. It’s fast.
        Practices should be able to generate their first reports within a few weeks of data transmission into the Physical Therapy Outcomes Registry. In addition to improving clinical decision making, this data can be leveraged to demonstrate value to consumers, payers, and other health care professionals.
      3. It’s the future.
        The demand for quality collaborative care and demonstrated outcomes is increasing. The Registry will help clinicians maximize opportunities through Medicare’s Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and similar programs.
