Contract therapy refers to the outsourcing of therapy and rehabilitation services to a third party on a contract basis. By working with a company that is dedicated to this sector of health care, hospitals can gain resources, experience and expertise that they may not otherwise have had access to. Contract therapy providers can deliver a wide range of services to hospitals of all sizes and geographic locations at a scale that can match budgetary and operational requirements.
