Finger Lakes District | November CE Event "Empowering PTs Across the Continuum: A Framework for Leveraging Standardized Measures to Drive Interventions and Outcomes" Wednesday, November 12, 2025: 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. 
As physical therapists work across hospital, SNF, IRF, outpatient, and home care settings, they face increasing demands to select and apply outcome measures that reflect patient progress and support clinical decision-making. With diverse patient populations and practice environments, outcome measures play a critical role in linking assessment to intervention planning, documentation, and demonstrating meaningful change.
This session will emphasize strategies for integrating outcome measures into practice, from selection through interpretation, to guide effective intervention design. Using practical case scenarios, documentation examples, and interventions from multiple settings, the session will highlight how outcome measures can be applied to align therapy goals with patient priorities, optimize resources, and improve patient outcomes.
*This event will be held in a hybrid format, with the virtual portion taking place on Zoom and the in-person portion hosted at HCR Home Care.
Zoom link will only be provided to registered attendee's, on the day of the event via email*
