Rehab & Sports Medicine focuses on outcomes
Posted on March 5th, 2009 No Comments »
Community strives to achieve excellent outcomes and patient satisfaction. Did you know that Community’s outpatient Rehab & Sports Medicine Centers track patient outcomes? It is true. This data is collected at the time a new patient comes to one of the clinics; it is collected again approximately half way through the therapy session and collected one last time at the time of discharge. By taking patient information about his or her functional status, type of injury and health history, each patient is given a score that rates their condition. This score is tracked during the course of therapy and then the functional outcomes are assessed.
The national database used to calculate this information and compare Rehab & Sports Medicine to other therapy practices regionally and nationally is called FOTO (Focus on Therapeutic Outcomes). Community has been collecting data at most of the Rehab & Sports Medicine Centers for a couple of years now and overall the data confirms that most of our Rehab & Sports Medicine Centers get patients back to a functional level faster than the regional and national average. Our newer clinics have not yet started collecting data, but we hope to begin this process soon.
Community Rehab & Sports Medicine Centers specialize in orthopedic physical therapy but offer a wide range of specialty programs across the city including pediatric therapy services, lymphedema treatment, neurological rehabilitation, vestibular therapy, women’s health programs and certified hand therapy. Regardless of your therapy need, the focus at our clinics is on you, the patient. Our attention to your satisfaction with services and your functional outcomes set our clinics apart from our competition.
