Rectangle Health Practice Management Bridge vs. WebPT

All staff are able to log in with their unique login and use it from any computer as staff travels with the doctors.

Relatively easy to use. Able to enter your own information as needed. It could auto populate more common statements to make it faster. Gave it a 7/10 because of the frequency of outages. Has improved recently. However, there are times when I am unable to access my notes and schedule all day. That causes unnecessary disruption in my workplace. Software like this should be consistently reliable.

Incentivized

• Ability to store patient information, PMH, and electronic documents in a concise manner and the ability to add additional notes and descriptions to the account.
• Scheduler is easy to manage - schedule patients, add providers, move the order of providers, quick links for patient (i.e. update status like check-in / no-show / cancel, make a payment, get to account, etc), color code visits, track # of visits per provider for each date of service.
• For what I need to do in the accounting department, I like how I can print out the daily schedule with ease, the color coded dots next to the patient name to indicate whether a note has been started, in progress, or completed, print out payment logs.
• Adding insurances and medical providers is easy and stress-free.
• Our PS likes that they can fax reports from WebPT to doctors and adjusters with ease (aside from the occasional glitches).

Incentivized

• I like that it carries forward information from previous notes. I also wonder, though, if there could be a more comprehensive "archive" of activities we had done in the past rather than only copying and paste from the previous note.
• I like seeing a few comparisons of my outcome measures--when writing a progress note, I don't just want to see the last measure. Seeing the last 3-4 values from the test would have been helpful to really see different trends.
• Fewer click boxes in the evals would be helpful to keep things moving along at some points. I appreciate the variety offered, but also struggle with how much clicking there is to get through.

In my opinion, the service we received for the price we paid was not justified: I spent as much time fixing WebPT's errors as I did trying to do my own job. In my experience, there are accounts that they wrote off without telling us rather than figuring out how to resubmit corrected claims, we were unable to send them paper insurance checks for over a year despite multiple attempts to connect with customer service, and WebPT began crashing regularly within the last month of using it.

It is very easy train people on and make each not the way you would like it. My first time using it I only needed one time walking through it. The software is self explanatory and easy to find what you need in a note

It is always available to me when needed thankfully, I hadn’t had a moment or a time when I was unable to access it when needed. My practice's power went out once which was the only incident when it was unavailable to everyone on the team but again, it had nothing to do with the availability offered by this product.

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.

Incentivized

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

WebPT has its entire separate platform for training, containing many different guides, tutorials, and video references to help you become familiar and competent with the software suites. This includes having various demonstrations that allow you to click and navigate pages in the ways you would actually do it in WebPT. WebPT also gives you a sandbox company in the actual website to tinker with and trial things out. This makes it easy to catch and avoid errors you would have otherwise made with active patient data/schedules.

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

Also, I have used PTWired and HEP2GO, but they were not in the database. WebPT automatically generates a patient profile, which is very helpful. WebPT also doesn't require the patient to download an app from the App Store, which is an added step for patients to perform, which will decrease compliance.

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.

Incentivized

I couldn’t access WebPT on multiple screens to complete tasks at an efficient and effective time. It works to adjust to the same things presented on one screen when trying to work on a separate project utilizing one therapists schedule. This complicated the goal and tasks needed to complete at the time

Incentivized

Extremely poor technical support and customer service.

Incentivized

• Ability to collect copays/prepayment from patients wherever staff is.

Incentivized

• The payment on claims when they go through correct is phenomenal and very timely.
• Our productivity is better as notes get done quicker and able to focus more on patient care.
• Sometimes the long flowsheet gets hard to see when treating a chronic patient.
