What should physical therapists know before signing on with an EMR

Signing up for an EMR can be intimidating. Understanding what you should know before signing on with an EMR and preparing a list of questions can make the process easier and give you more confidence in your final decision. Firstly, it’s important to consider customization options. PT clinics have unique needs, so it’s essential to select EMR software that can be customized to meet those specific requirements. This may include templates for evaluations, progress notes, and treatment plans.

Secondly, clinics should evaluate the user-friendliness of the software. The EMR software should be easy to use and navigate for both clinical and administrative staff. Trying a demo or trial period to evaluate the software’s usability is often helpful.

Other important considerations may include the level of support provided by the software provider, data security measures, and cost. Ultimately, it’s crucial to select an EMR software service tailored to your PT clinic’s unique needs and provides a user-friendly experience for staff.
