MedStar National Rehabilitation Network Partners with WebPT to Improve Patient Experience
WASHINGTON, D.C., – Nov. 2, 2016 – MedStar National Rehabilitation Network recently announced it has implemented WebPT — the leading electronic medical record (EMR) software for physical, occupational and speech therapists — throughout its network of 50 outpatient sites in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Southern Maryland, Delaware and Northern Virginia.
WebPT’s cloud-based documentation, billing, scheduling and practice management software will help streamline therapist workflows and business operations across MedStar National Rehabilitation Network’s entire outpatient site network, ultimately allowing providers to spend more time with patients.
“The greatest thing about our therapists using this product is that it will allow us to be even more interactive with our patients and not spend extra time on the charting process,” said John Brickley, PT, MA, MedStar Health Physical Therapy Vice President, Ambulatory Operations & Network Development. “This will benefit the communities we serve to an even greater extent and allow for patients to have even greater access to the services we provide to them.”
In addition to allowing therapists to quickly access patient charts and schedule future appointments, WebPT provides a suite of compliance features, customization options and business reporting tools. Through its partnership with MedStar National Rehabilitation Network, WebPT looks forward to helping rehab therapists in a vast array of specialties provide better care and improve the patient experience.
“MedStar National Rehabilitation Network is a prestigious player in the rehab therapy space, and we’re so honored to welcome them to the WebPT community,” said Heidi Jannenga, PT, DPT, ATC/L, president and co-founder of WebPT. “As a rapidly-growing network of multidisciplinary therapy clinics offering a comprehensive selection of specialty services and programs, MedStar NRH needed a practice management solution that was easy to use at the individual therapist level, as well as easy to scale across multiple locations. The fact that their extensive search led them to WebPT is extremely validating for us as we continue to add more hospitals and large multi-site practices to our customer base of more than 8,700 clinics nationwide.”
