Physio Cloud Software vs. WebPT

I personally like the detailed evaluation wizard that is guiding you from palpating, Edema measurements, PROM measurements, manual muscle testing, mobility, and the end feels reliable and valid special tests, medical history, short term, and long term goals. Also, I like the exercise prescription.

The EMR can be used for nearly any PT for any type of patient but you can get caught up in all the drop-down boxes that may not be relevant—these do not show up on the note if not used so skip the ones you don’t need. The RCM is priceless with the way you bill straight from the EMR and easily apply modifier, time codes, and flag denials/mistakes. I would like to see management of some denials come back to us faster, though as our >180 A/R gets fairly high and corrections/addendums are required in this bucket so far down the road. The scheduling tool is amazing and very easy to use!

• The scheduler is easy to use and allows for a clear view of each clinical day, week, and month.
• The authorization/visit limit functions really help in managing each case and assist in minimizing insurance denials.
• The documentation is comprehensive and specific to physical therapy documentation. The ICD-10 lookup function is very helpful.
• Transfer of claim information to Therabill really helps with timely claim submission.

• I wish the patient reminders didn't cost as much to send, and it would be great to be able to send text messages for any other reason.
• WebPT adds on extras that always seem to cost more - overall, it is kind of expensive.
• I always wish the documentation was quicker - but I'm not sure what else that would take.

The ease of use and the modern feeling of the software is what keeps us coming back. Being able to have a new employee trained on the software in less than a week is a money saver. The many other softwares that the team at WebPT offer that intergrate with WebPT is numerous and streamlined.

Online patient intake - frequent functionality problems. WebPT supports solutions to these problems are often work arounds requiring my local admin team to enter data on our end. This prompts the question - why am I paying you for this function if we end up doing intake again. Patient intake and outcomes should not be separate emails to the patient. They find it redundant and are less likely to complete both. It is also entirely possible that this impacts their responses on survey based outcomes measures, possibly skewing outcomes data. Outcomes - also frequently fails, patient's complete on their device or kiosk/tablet in clinic but will not sync to EMR and populate chart note. Again frequent "solution" from WebPT support involves work arounds requiring admin team staffing hours. Again additional expense of admin team staffing. Scheduling - frequent problems with lost appointments booked leading to decreased productivity and a customer service issue we have to resolve. Waitlist feature recently improved. EMR - evaluative notes are slow and difficult for clinicians to enter data. Evaluation templates have improved this a bit but it is still to difficult to add single tests and measures to existing initial evaluations and progress notes. Flowsheets do not save clinicians time with current functionality. You can not see what treatments were provided at the previous visit from the flow sheet view. This slows treatment and frustrates clinicians. WebPT HEP - does not integrate with Flow Sheet in EMR creating redundant process in charting.

Entire suite down numerous times in 2022 and 2023. Individual modules down as well. Modules rated as operational but not functioning numerous times, most so with scheduling, online intake, and outcomes.

Pages often load slowly. Our iMacs are highly reliable and we are connected to the highest speed Comcast business internet. We also connected each iMac via Cat 9 cable during COVID-19 pandemic to speed telelhealth appointments. Zoom does integrate very well with WebPT for telehealth. Their own modules do not integrate well with each other. For example, patients receive separate emails for patient intake and clinical outcomes. If confuses and frustrates many patients. Similarly, EMR flow sheet does not integrate with HEP creating redundancy.

Support was pretty much always helpful. My only complaint was not being able to always get someone on the phone immediately during working hours and having to wait to hear back. But once we heard back, problems were solved quickly and sufficiently. Staff was always friendly and knowledgeable

Used to have more synchronous support during training. Now mostly online modules and pop ups. We have noticed DPT and PTA students have more difficulty navigating the online training as compared to 2020.

I think it would help to have another education session maybe 6 months after the initial sessions. This would help the user come up with an enhanced experience after they have used the program for a period of time. It is hard to comprehend everything at first, especially for people that need hands on learning

WebPT is great when it comes to built-in templates and reminders. It integrates with Therabill which is our billing software. It has all of the patient's notes and documentation all sorted by case so it's easy to find what you need quickly. Customer service at WebPT is also very friendly, timely, and communicative.

The current terms and pricing would be fair if they provided adequate performance, reliability, support, and customer service. As they have lapsed in these areas WebPT is overpriced. I would not recommend any PT practice of any size agree to a long term contract with WebPT until they prove they will deliver on their promises.

It grew with us from practice inception to our largest size of 12 employees.

Extremely poor technical support and customer service.

• Staff productivity has increased by at least 20% with report capabilities.
• Patient cancellations rates decreased by a little over 15% after appointment reminders.
• Claim rejections and denials stay at less than 1% every year because of the reports and tracking capabilities.
