Abstract: 

Healthcare decisions are often driven by data. Until recently, Athletic Training has lagged in demonstrating value, however, in a world of finite resources, it is imperative that ATs demonstrate value for position creation, sustainability, and improvement. In this presentation, ATs will be shown ways to demonstrate value through data collection and potential cost savings. This demonstration of value is important for stakeholders in order to support the sports medicine program. Using a secondary school setting as an example, the presenter will demonstrate methods that can be used across all settings to validate AT Value.
