The ASTYM Analyst™ is a state-of-the-art, internet-based data collection and outcome reporting system developed exclusively for the Members of the Performance Dynamics Network. It is user friendly and eliminates the hassle of data entry by utilizing the advanced technology of scanable outcome forms. Reports from the system may easily be customized and downloaded by Network Members. The Network Members may design reports to analyze the treatment outcomes for a wide variety of categories (including combinations of categories), such as diagnoses, age, type of patient, comorbidities and much more. The system is fully HIPAA compliant, and is designed to protect the Network Members and their patients. These reports can be used successfully by Network Members for marketing, quality assurance, obtaining managed care contracts, securing referrals, reimbursement justification, contract negotiation and educational purposes.

This research has been a critical component to the development of the ASTYM treatment protocol and patented instruments. The research has been conducted with clinicians certified to perform the ASTYM system and the publications apply exclusivly to the ASTYM system. For a summary of the reserach that has been done on the ASTYM system, click on the link below. The following articles incorporate/analyze information related specifically to the ASTYM System. In reviewing the following publication list, please note that the ASTYM System originated as Augmented Soft Tissue Mobilization or “ASTM”.
