Orthopedic Physical Therapy from Focus On
Therapeutic Outcomes, Inc. (FOTO®). The FOTO®

providers understand how their clinics compare
to other providers. The providers use the
reports to manage their clinics to provide the
best patient care.

medical rehabilitation providers that measures
and reports provider treatment quality and
efficiency. The FOTO® database of over 11

risk-adjusted comparative benchmarked reports
used to measure, predict, and compare outcome
results. With a focus on treatment
effectiveness, efficiency and patient
satisfaction, the FOTO® Outcomes data proves the
