Dennis's brilliance and passion enriched and improved all of our lives. No words can adequately express our sadness at Dennis's death or our gratitude for the opportunity to have worked with him. Since our beginning Dennis has been our scientific guide, his favorite saying was "In God we trust, all others bring data". His work has produced precise, valid and responsive functional measures which all of rehabilitation will use as the standard for measuring the functional status of their patients. We are so grateful this work was one of his passions.
Those of us who were fortunate enough to know and work with Dennis have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. His greatest love was for his wife and his family, and our hearts go out to them in our thoughts and our prayers. We will honor his memory by dedicating ourselves to continuing the work he loved so much.
We invite friends, customers and colleagues to submit their memories of Dennis to a memorial page in his honor.

CMS Proposed rule for Medicare Shared Savings Program also known as Accountable Care Organizations

On behalf of Focus On Therapeutic Outcomes, Inc., (FOTO) I am pleased to submit comments on the proposed rule for the Medicare Shared Savings Program also known as Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) [CMS–1345–P].
FOTO is pleased to offer fully electronic data collection options both on-line and in an installed software package. Our web-based data collection also now offers the option of the patient completing the surveys outside the clinic, if internet access is available.
I would be happy to schedule a time for me to do an on-line demo of either data collection option with your company at your convenience.
The medical world is quickly moving to a “Pay for Performance” standard.We have two payers currently developing standards that will provide financial benefit to those who are treating patients effectively and efficiently.Those who are accustomed to measuring outcomes and utilizing the results (and therefore getting better outcomes…) will be poised to meet this challenge.
FOTO has seven of its Functional Status (FS) Measures included approved for the Physician Quality Reporting System for 2011. In addition to that, FOTO is an approved PQRI Data Registry, which means that data can be submitted to CMS through FOTO rather than from claims.
