APTA's registry

In January 2021 APTA announced the registry's approval by CMS as a qualified clinical data registry for the fifth year in a row, which let participating physical therapists submit their MIPS reporting data through it. Its own site now says it is no longer accepting new participants.

FOTO and the rehab databases

Net Health says its outcomes system, FOTO, has a database of patient-reported outcomes data regularly used by researchers at US and international universities and by healthcare research companies. UDSMR, now part of Netsmart, describes the industry's largest database of inpatient rehabilitation patient records.

Joint replacement data

The American Joint Replacement Registry describes data on more than 5 million procedures from hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers and private practice groups, which is surgical rather than therapy data.

Paying for a licence

Protege and License My Data, on the registries and buyers board, describe licensing data for AI training; the registries above ask for participation or approved research instead.

Describe the clinic records your practice holds

Say which EMR holds the notes and whether identifiers are still in them; the reply draws on the 16 PT system documents behind this site.

What the clinic charted

Have patient identifiers been taken out of those records?

  • One person reads each practice's form
  • No EMR vendor or registry named here sees it
  • We never ask for a chart, video or patient name
