ATI Physical Therapy's research department was established to improve rehabilitation outcomes through basic science, translational research, evidence-based medicine, and cost-benefit analysis.
ATI Research has three distinct areas of study:
- Basic Science: The F.I.R.S.T.™ Program
- Evidence-Based Medicine: Outcomes Based Clinical Medicine
- Cost-Benefit Analysis: Quality of Care in Workers' Compensation Rehabilitation
ATI Physical Therapy is one of the only true evidence-based medicine physical therapy providers.
ATI's research department was established to provide a non-bias, objective monitoring and research center focused on evaluating the effectiveness of advanced rehabilitative care.
ATI Research uses a combination of strategies ranging from basic science research to systemic cost-benefit analysis to investigate the relationship between quality of care and medical costs.
