Overall Satisfaction with WebPT

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use WebPT for electronic medical record patient documentation and billing. I have used many other electronic medical records in the past and this has been by far the easiest, most intuitive, and least cumbersome of them all. It seems much more "designed especially for physical therapists" as compared to the others.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Bill is straight foreward
Templates / quick phrases are relatively easy to customize
Real-time, point of contact charting is smooth and easy to navigate / complete while with patient

Cons

Some customization such as vestibular tests/measures/ objective would be very helpful for me. I would like to be able to create my own test/measures names as well as drop down menus/choices
It would be nice to be able to carry-forward key objective measures from visit to visit
It would be nice to have a place in the note where HEP could be carried forward without relying on WebPT's HEP builder (I prefer MedBridge). Currently I carry it forward in the "precautions" section.

Return on Investment

For me, improved productivity (ease of finishing documentation)
I am not associated with the business aspect, so I can not speak to this.

Alternatives Considered

I have already previously described this. I have used Epic; whichever one Therapeutic Associates uses; NexGen; and another hospital-based EMR. This is by far the easiest.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it works very well during point of contact with the patient. It much easier to start and complete a note while the patient is with me due to ease of use. I would like customization of evaluation templates to be easier to create. I am an expert vestibular PT and I have to copy/paste from a Microsoft word document the subjective red flags and entire objective section in the "observation" section every evaluation.

WebPT is the solution to not feel like I'm constantly getting caught in a "spider web" of difficult to navigate documentation.
