Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate how standard-of-care outpatient rehabilitation is delivered and how variation in care delivery mechanisms relates to clinical outcomes, service utilization, and value in patients receiving physical or occupational therapy. The study will focus on patients with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions receiving physical or occupational therapy.

The focus is to use existing standard-of-care documentation in a physical therapy (PT) electronic medical record (EMR) to evaluate patient characteristics, interventions delivered, utilization management, and clinical outcomes in routine outpatient PT care, in order to generate evidence to improve clinical effectiveness and quality of care. Researchers will compare different care delivery mechanisms to see if variations lead to significant differences in outcomes.

Participants will have their standard-of-care documentation analyzed, including routine clinical measures, objective/functional measures, and patient-reported outcomes. They will not be directly involved in research interventions or randomization. This study does not involve a research intervention, randomization, or alteration of clinical care. It is a retrospective cohort study analyzing existing standard-of-care documentation from ATI's physical therapy EMR.

Data are collected via the investigators proprietary electronic medical record system and are synthetic to the clinical process that is, the data are collected in real-time with patients and the scores are immediately provided to the treating therapist as well as archived for later Registry and scientific use.
