CSM 2012: Measuring Outcomes: Section on Pediatrics Practice Forum

Outcome measures are an important part of physical therapist practice to demonstrate the success of our interventions. In this forum, presenters from hospital, early intervention, and school-based practice settings will demonstrate how they measure outcomes and share the results of an outcome project. A practice/case study format will be followed by facilitated small-group discussions. Participants will discuss current outcomes measures, how data is collected, and its impact on physical therapist practice. Barriers to and facilitators of outcome measurement will be discussed. By attending this course, physical therapists will learn how pediatric physical therapists are measuring outcomes in their practice settings.
