APTA Outcomes Registry in Search of Candidates for Staff
and Appointed Positions
The APTA Physical Therapy Outcomes Registry (Registry), a major initiative that aims to create the
most comprehensive electronic repository for physical therapy outcomes, is now ready to move to
the next phase in its development--filling important staff and appointed positions solely dedicated to
the program.
Recently, APTA announced 2 leadership opportunities--a staff-hired registry director and a Board of
Directors-appointed scientific director. Both roles will play an important part in the debut of the full-
scale project, tentatively set for early 2016.
The Director, Physical Therapy Outcomes Registry is responsible for the daily operations, business
affairs, communications, and recruitment plans for the registry within APTA's Public Affairs Unit.
The association is seeking candidates with demonstrated leadership and accountability who have an
advanced degree (or equivalent experience) and 3-5 years' experience in data management,
research, quality programs, or scientific programs.
The Scientific Director, Physical Therapy Outcomes Registry will be appointed by the APTA Board of
Directors to serve a 2-year term beginning July 1, 2015. This position will oversee the scientific
integrity of the registry, and will appoint and lead a scientific advisory board to develop and
maintain standards and policies for the registry. An honorarium is provided. More details on the
position can be found in the application form (follow link under "Involvement Opportunity").
Application deadline for the board-appointed scientific director position is April 20.
Now in beta-testing, the Registry is designed to be a "hub and spoke" system in which outcomes
information from a wide range of sources will be aggregated across patient populations and clinical
settings. More information on the Registry, how it works, and its potential impact on health care is
available at the program's website.
It is very exciting to learn that APTA is progressing with this registry. I have been a therapist for
over 30 years and will complete my tDPT in May. Over the past several years I have gained a new
appreciation for outcome measures and evidenced based research to justify our services. I would
love to be considered for a position on the scientific registry board when candidates are being
selected. Respectfully, Candace A. Harms, PT, CEEAA
