Rehab Therapists: Don’t Underestimate the Importance of Choosing the Right EMR for Your Future

While it sometimes feels like we live in a world chock-full of hyperbole, some facts still simply can’t be overstated.

• The sheer size and depth of the Grand Canyon
• The amount of money that changes hands on a typical day along the Las Vegas strip
• The joy a child feels when they first grasp the concept of Trick-or-Treating on Halloween night
• And, the importance of choosing the right EMR software solution for your rehab therapy clinic

When built specifically with rehab therapists in mind, the right EMR solution helps you streamline all aspects of your practice.

From referral management, scheduling and patient documentation to coding, compliance, billing, payer reimbursement and outcome management, an EMR can be either empowering or limiting.

It can make it possible for you and your staff to work smarter and more efficiently, or it can stand in your way by restricting growth, impacting revenue, and ultimately affecting patient success.

Unfortunately, too many rehab therapy clinic owners and operators experience the latter. This results in nearly 5,000 rehab therapy clinics switching EMR software each year,^{1 2} a process that’s both expensive and disruptive.

The key to avoiding this scenario?

Choose an EMR solution that’s future-proof – one that empowers you and your team today while having been built with the ability to grow and evolve right along with your practice.
