AB  - The  Objective  (O)  part  of  the  note  is  the  section  where  the  results  of  tests  and  measures  performed  and  the  therapist's  objective  observations  of  the  patient  are  recorded.  Objective  data  are  the  measurable  or  observable  pieces  of  information  used  to  formulate  the  Plan  of  Care.  Good  tests  and  measures  that  produce  objective  data  are  also  repeatable,  valid,  and  reliable,  allowing  for  comparison  of  data  over  the  course  of  treatment  to  document  patient  progress.  The  therapist's  objective  observations,  tests,  and  measures  thus  serve  as  comparative  data  as  the  patient's  progress  is  monitored  and  re-evaluated.1,2
