"Physical therapy is not a subspecialty of the medical profession and physical therapists are not medical doctors; we are a separate profession that provides a unique service that physicians are unable and untrained to provide."

Don't Spend Big Bucks on a New EMR... until you read this!

This new article, published in Advance for Physical Therapists April 3rd, 2012, shows you the future of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) in physical therapists' clinics.

  • Productivity and profitability
  • SOAP notes
  • Medicare Audits
  • Personal Health Records (PHR)
  • Electronic Health Records (EHR)
  • Mobile or handheld computing
