Case Study
How USPh Centralized Clinical Placements Across 750+ Locations
Transforming a fragmented, manual process into a unified, compliant, and data-driven placement pipeline.
Simplifying Processes. Expanding Opportunities.
U.S. Physical Therapy (USPh), one of the largest outpatient physical and occupational therapy networks in the United States, partnered with Exxat to centralize and modernize its student clinical placement program.
With more than 750 locations across 44 states, USPh needed a centralized, efficient approach to managing school partnerships and student placements across its growing network.
By deploying Exxat One, USPh transformed a fragmented, manual process into a unified, compliant, and data-driven pipeline that benefits students, clinical sites, and academic partners alike.
What Exxat One Enabled
- Consolidated school partnerships into a unified, searchable network.
- Created a consistent and transparent student experience.
- Automated compliance tracking and document verification.
- Enabled scalable onboarding with automated reminders and deadline management.
- Delivered enterprise-grade analytics with real-time insights.
Measurable Impact in Year One
Within the first year of deployment, USPh achieved significant operational improvements:
- +10% increase in new partner schools added to the network
- +25% increase in student placements across the network
Automated compliance replaced manual tracking while providing real-time enterprise visibility into placement capacity, student volume, and program growth.
“As a site user of the Exxat One platform, I can't recommend it enough. It drastically cuts down the time needed to organize, book, and confirm student placements. It's also an excellent communication and reporting tool. I can extract data directly from Exxat One to create actionable insights and look ahead to how we can better support students across such a large organization.”
