PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- WebPT, a Web-based electronic medical records system (EMR) for physical therapists, is prominently taking the position as the fastest growing EMR for PTs. The company saw strong growth in Q3, nearly 30 percent, and has even stronger projections for Q4. As more therapy clinics adopt EMR systems, the need for a truly Web-based, easy, and complete physical therapy documentation software is higher than ever.
Since its launch just three years ago, WebPT has grown to nearly 5,000 users at 750 clinics and has a retention rate of over 99 percent. The company anticipates it will close 2010 with 300 percent total growth over last year. Its fast growth and recognition in the PT industry is a testament to the strong need for physical therapy software that is designed specifically for therapy practices, which allows PTs to document sessions anywhere they are from their mobile technology.
“Transitioning to EMR systems is at the top of every PTs’ mind and until recently, this has been a stressful, expensive undertaking. We have made the transition to digital documentation significantly easier, more affordable, and mobile, so PTs can create records and view patient information securely from anywhere,” said Heidi Jannenga, PT, MPT, co-founder and chief operating officer for WebPT. “When we look at the numbers, it’s thrilling to see this kind of growth, but also validating. This market deserved the opportunity to jump on the Web-based software bandwagon and we’re happy to be the one in the driver’s seat.”
Kenji Carp, PT, OCS, ATC of Cooperative Performance & Rehabilitation in Eugene, Oregon has been using WebPT for nearly two-years and most recently on his iPad. “I spend a good amount of time outside of the clinic so being able to pull up exercise flow sheets and record exercises instantly on a small, hand-held device like an iPad is a huge benefit. It saves me the time previously spent sitting in the clinic after sessions, and also leads to better accuracy since everything I document is done instantly and not hours later.”
WebPT’s own metrics show that hundreds of PTs are now using iPads during sessions in place of laptops. Sophisticated electronic documentation couldn’t be this easy without a truly Web-based platform. An estimated 80 percent of PTs still use paper documentation, but all of them are required to transition to PT EMR systems by 2014, presenting a significant market opportunity for WebPT.
WebPT is a fully integrated, SaaS (software-as-a-service) EMR system that includes intuitive documentation, scheduling, practice management, and billing tools. Because of its Web-based platform that was designed with the specific workflow of physical therapists in mind, WebPT can improve compliance, expedite claims processing, eliminate certain IT costs, and improve overall documentation processes that hinder profits.
