The Most Comprehensive and Easy To Use Physical Therapy Software For PT, OT, SLP Clinics of All Sizes
Finally, An All-In-One Physical Therapy Software Built by Therapists
Introducing HENO, the Therapy Software designed by fellow therapists for PTs, OTs, and SLPs. HENO’s flexibility makes it suitable for any sized clinic ranging from startups to clinics with multiple locations. HENO is purpose built with both efficiency, and ease of use in mind, and it should be since it was built by a PT. Say hello to Katie Hohman, the co-founder of HENO and proud owner of Hohman Rehab, a chain of PT Clinics in Orlando, FL. As a multitasking mom, devoted wife, and clinic owner, Katie understands the value of efficiency firsthand. When she embarked on the journey of creating HENO many years ago, she immersed herself in numerous demos of Physical Therapy Software products. Ironically, every vendor claimed their software was an all-in-one, but upon closer inspection, it became evident that multiple logins were required to access different aspects of their systems—an inconvenience Katie wanted to avoid. Thus, HENO was born out of a pressing industry need.
Katie explains, “Being the owner of both an EMR and multiple clinics has given HENO a significant competitive edge. There’s nothing more satisfying than identifying workflow issues and collaborating with engineers to swiftly address them. This key aspect has been instrumental in HENO’s success. The fact that we are PT-owned truly sets us apart from other Physical Therapy Software platforms.”

There’s a long list of advantages that comes with using a single platform versus using multiple systems. Advantages of Using an All-in-One Physical Therapy Software: Streamlining Practice Management and Enhancing Patient Care
Introduction: In the modern era of healthcare, technology plays a crucial role in optimizing practice management and improving patient care. For physical therapy practices, utilizing an all-in-one software solution offers significant advantages over using separate Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems for documentation, billing, and online patient scheduling with digital intake. This article explores the benefits of adopting an all-in-one physical therapy software that integrates multiple functionalities within a single platform.
- Streamlined Workflow: One of the primary advantages of an all-in-one physical therapy software is the streamlined workflow it offers. By having all essential features consolidated in a single system, healthcare providers and administrative staff can seamlessly navigate between different tasks without the need for switching between multiple EMRs. From documenting patient evaluations and treatment plans to scheduling appointments, managing billing processes, and capturing digital intake forms, an all-in-one software simplifies the practice’s workflow, saving time and effort.
- Enhanced Efficiency: The integration of documentation, billing, and online patient scheduling within a unified software platform significantly improves the overall efficiency of a physical therapy practice. With separate EMRs, practitioners often face the challenge of duplicate data entry, increasing the risk of errors and inconsistencies. In contrast, an all-in-one software eliminates this redundancy by automatically populating relevant information across different modules. This automation reduces administrative burden and enhances accuracy, allowing providers to focus more on delivering quality care to patients.
- Improved Financial Management: Billing and revenue cycle management are critical aspects of any healthcare practice. Utilizing an all-in-one physical therapy software eliminates the need for separate billing EMRs, enabling seamless integration between clinical documentation and billing processes. This integration ensures accurate coding, faster claim submission, and efficient reimbursement tracking. Additionally, comprehensive financial reporting and analytics capabilities enable practitioners to gain valuable insights into practice performance, revenue trends, and identify areas for improvement.
- Enhanced Patient Experience: An all-in-one physical therapy software enhances the patient experience by providing a seamless and convenient digital environment. With integrated online patient scheduling and digital intake forms, patients can easily book appointments and complete necessary paperwork from the comfort of their homes. This reduces administrative overhead, minimizes waiting times, and improves patient satisfaction. Furthermore, features like patient portals and secure messaging enable effective communication between patients and providers, fostering engagement and facilitating timely follow-ups.
- Coordinated Care and Communication: Using separate EMRs for documentation, billing, and patient scheduling often hampers care coordination and communication among healthcare professionals. An all-in-one software centralizes patient information, allowing all authorized practitioners to access and update records in real-time. This promotes collaboration, enables a holistic view of patient data, and facilitates better care coordination between physical therapists, assistants, and other healthcare providers involved in the patient’s treatment journey.
- Compliance and Security: Maintaining compliance with privacy regulations and safeguarding patient data is paramount in healthcare. An all-in-one physical therapy software ensures adherence to regulations like HIPAA by incorporating robust security measures across all modules. By storing patient information within a single secure system, the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access is significantly reduced compared to managing data across multiple EMRs.
- Seamless Reporting and Analytics: An all-in-one physical therapy software provides comprehensive reporting and analytics capabilities that span across the entire practice. By integrating clinical, billing, and scheduling data, practitioners can generate meaningful reports, track key performance indicators, and gain valuable insights into practice efficiency, patient outcomes, and financial performance. This data-driven approach empowers practitioners to make informed decisions, identify areas of improvement, and optimize practice
The Disadvantages of Using Disconnected Physical Therapy Software: A Case Study
To answer the question about what the disadvantages of using separate systems for Physical Therapy Documentation and Physical Therapy Billing Software, we’ve decided to use real-life examples. WebPT is a well known Physical Therapy Software, and the Billing Software they use, which is called Therabill, is a seperate system which is owned by the same company that owns WebPT, but requires a totally separate user login in order to access. So, we’re merely using them as an example so that we can underscore some of the disadvantages that arise based on using seperate systems. Since many of our customers were previously WebPT users, we have a deep understanding about some of the difficulties WebPT customers experience. Therefore, we can use them as an example that helps us clearly answer the question about the disadvantages of separate systems.
Introduction: In the fast-paced world of physical therapy, utilizing efficient and integrated software solutions is crucial for streamlining workflows, enhancing patient care, and optimizing practice management. However, many PT clinics still rely on disconnected software systems, such as using WebPT for documentation, Therabill Software for billing, separate software for patient texting, another software for patient online scheduling, and yet another software for patient intake forms. This article explores the disadvantages of using such disconnected physical therapy software through the lens of a hypothetical PT clinic.
- Fragmented Data Management: One of the key drawbacks of using disconnected physical therapy software is the fragmentation of data. In our case study, the PT clinic relies on WebPT for documentation, which means patient evaluations, treatment plans, progress notes, and other clinical data are stored in that system. However, this information is not seamlessly integrated with the billing software, Therabill, which handles insurance claims and revenue management. The result is a disjointed data management process, requiring manual data entry, duplicate information across systems, and a higher risk of errors and inconsistencies.
- Inefficient Workflow: Operating multiple software systems independently leads to an inefficient workflow. In our case study, the PT clinic uses separate software for patient texting, online scheduling, and intake forms. This fragmentation creates a disjointed experience for both the patients and the clinic staff. For example, patient texting software requires manual entry of patient details and does not sync with the documentation system, resulting in a lack of continuity in patient communication. Additionally, staff members must switch between different software platforms to manage scheduling, intake forms, and other administrative tasks, leading to wasted time, increased training needs, and potential errors.
- Limited Integration and Communication: Disconnected physical therapy software hampers effective integration and communication within the clinic. In our case study, the lack of integration between WebPT, Therabill, and other software means that patient-related information, such as insurance details or billing history, is not readily accessible during the documentation process. This lack of communication between systems creates additional administrative burden, as staff members need to manually cross-reference different software to gather essential patient data. It also increases the likelihood of errors, delays, and miscommunication among the clinic’s team members.
- Increased Costs and Complexity: Using disconnected physical therapy software can be costlier and more complex for the clinic. Firstly, each software system typically requires its own licensing and support fees, resulting in multiple expenses. Additionally, maintaining separate systems necessitates additional IT infrastructure and resources to manage and support each software individually. The complexity further increases when updates, upgrades, or troubleshooting are required for multiple systems, adding to the clinic’s overall costs and reliance on external vendors for support.
- Compliance and Security Risks: The use of disconnected software raises compliance and security concerns. Our case study clinic utilizes multiple software systems, each with its own security measures and protocols. This means the clinic must ensure compliance with various regulations, such as HIPAA, across all software platforms. The management of patient data becomes more complex, as the clinic needs to maintain multiple access points and permissions for staff members. Any vulnerabilities or breaches in any of the systems can potentially compromise patient privacy and result in legal and reputational consequences for the clinic.
- Limited Reporting and Analytics: Disconnected physical therapy software restricts the clinic’s ability to generate comprehensive reports and leverage analytics for informed decision-making. In our case study, since patient data is spread
