Outcome assessments are important to demonstrate the treatment value. These questionnaires provide a basis for the treatment plan to demonstrate the patient’s progress with activities of daily living (ADL’s) and provide an opportunity to create measurable, patient-centered goals.

Check out the Learning Hub on Fulcrum's Provider Portal for Outcome Assessment Tools (OATs), educational information, and the Quality Rewards program.

MN RETAIN (Retaining Employment and Talent After Injury/Illness Network) is working with injured or ill Minnesota workers who are on restrictions and not able to do their usual work, or providing support so they can return to work as soon as possible.

Fulcrum was awarded subrecipient participation in the MN RETAIN Phase 2 study, a federal grant study funded by the U.S. Department of Labor and the Social Security Administration. The Minnesota study is a collaboration among and between the following organizations: Governor’s Workforce Development Board, Mayo Clinic, MN Department of Employment and Economic Development, MN Department of Health, MN Department of Labor and Industry, and Workforce Development, Inc.
