Joshua K. Johnson, DPT, PhD is a physical therapist researcher at Cleveland Clinic Rehabilitation and Sports Therapy. He treats patients hospitalized across the various clinical Institutes at Cleveland Clinic Main Campus. His research focuses on using patient outcomes and clinical process measures to evaluate and improve the value of health services provided by rehabilitation clinicians across the continuum of care. His work incorporates principles of a learning health system in which internal clinical data and experience is combined with external evidence to facilitate enhanced value-based care. In those efforts, Dr. Johnson primarily employs observational study designs while incorporating components of implementation science in partnership with health system administrators and providers across multiple disciplines.
Dr. Johnson completed his undergraduate training at Brigham Young University. He holds a Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree from Arcadia University and a PhD in Rehabilitation Science with an emphasis in evidence-based practice from the University of Utah. During his doctoral training, Dr. Johnson was awarded the Florence P. Kendall Scholarship and a Promotion of Doctoral Studies I Award by the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research. He has also been an investigator on projects funded by the Foundation’s Center on Health Services Training and Research (CoHSTAR) and the Academy of Acute Care Physical Therapy, a component of the American Physical Therapy Association.

Industry Relationships
Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists may collaborate with the pharmaceutical or medical device industries to help develop medical breakthroughs or provide medical expertise or education. Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.
To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/ scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.
As of 7/31/2023, Dr. Johnson has reported no financial relationship with industry that is applicable to this listing. In general, patients should feel free to contact their doctor about any of the relationships and how the relationships are overseen by Cleveland Clinic.

Public Health Service-Reportable Financial Conflicts of Interest. Cleveland Clinic scientists and physicians engage in basic, translational and clinical research activities, working to solve health problems, enhance patient care and improve quality of life for patients. Interactions with industry are essential to bringing the researchers' discoveries to the public, but can present the potential for conflicts of interest related to their research activities. Click here to view a listing of instances where Cleveland Clinic has identified a Public Health Service (PHS)-Reportable Financial Conflict of Interest and has put measures in place to ensure that, to the extent possible, the design, conduct and reporting of the research is free from bias.
