Abstract:
Health care decisions are often driven by data. Athletic training is no different and the time has come for ATs to demonstrate value in settings to develop growth of a sports medicine program. This session will demonstrate proven ways to collect and provide data to important stakeholders in your pursuit for growth. Sports injury surveillance in secondary schools has been ongoing for decades and ATs have been essential contributors to these efforts. Surveillance programs have led to a variety of injury prevention efforts to reduce the risk of sports-related injuries in secondary schools. This session will discuss what data are collected and why, key program and rules changes based on injury surveillance data and how ATs have used this data to benefit their own clinical practice and justify their roles within their institutions.

Learning Objectives:

  • Integrate data collection techniques into secondary school ATs daily practice.
  • Illustrate potential cost-savings to employers and patients through medical services rendered by athletic trainers.
  • Interpret athletic training treatment patterns and justify future needs.
  • Educate athletic trainers about ongoing injury surveillance efforts at secondary schools in the United States.
  • Demonstrate how data from secondary schools are used to make evidence-based decisions to reduce the risk of sports injury.
