“Outcomes and Evidence-Based Practice in O&P: How Are You Documenting Value in Your Clinic and Using It to Improve Reimbursement?“

The need for transparent, value-based funding decisions has reached the field of prosthetics and orthotics. The challenges of properly allocating resources within limited healthcare budgets while also providing patients with appropriate state-of-the-art medical technology requires data based guidance. Significant efforts have been made in recent years to identify appropriate, valid, and reliable clinical outcomes capable of addressing these needs. The number of prosthetic clinics adopting routine documentation of clinical outcomes has increased significantly in recent years. In this symposium, we present examples of routine outcomes measurement in clinical practice and illustrate how the data collected can be used to demonstrate clinical value and support reimbursement efforts.
