“EMR for physical therapy management of today's clinician can even save money,” Chhoda said. More of these have been shared on his latest website.

“Good automatic cross-referencing will immediately shows what was done in the past, and what needs to be done in the future. And this will definitely avoid unnecessary duplication,” he said. “With insurance companies looking over records with what seems like microscopes these days, duplicated services are going to be rejected. That is lost money for a clinic.”

Good EMR software can even be updated from an iPad or other tablet device while a physical therapy patient is undergoing therapy. This cuts down on the chance for mistakes in physical therapy documentation, he said.

“Physical therapy billing software is the second most critical part of the clinic from a profit and loss point of view. By accurately documenting therapy especially as it takes place, you are in a much better position to have claims with an insurance company processed without problem,” he said.

Another very real value comes in other savings. Hard copy records take up valuable office space. They must be photocopied in order to send to other medical offices and mailed or hand delivered. Electronic records can be encrypted and securely emailed. No excess paper, no worries about things lost in the mail and no postage and envelop expense.
