Product Review: Spend more time with patients and you can generate more revenue SpectraSoft’s newest release of its physical therapy documentation software introduces a number of innovative time-saving features. DocuPRO 10.2 not only cuts the time it takes to do chart your cases -- it also gives you freedom to work away from the office, so you can spend more of that time treating patients and creating more revenue for your practice. |
Branching Logic
The distinguishing features of the DocuPRO system has always been it's branching-logic templates. The templates allow therapists to check off items from pick lists to note measurements, observations, treatments and recommendations. This eliminates the time-consuming task of writing out every aspect of the patient encounter, although the system also allows for free-text entry anywhere in the chart.
These "intelligent" templates take that process a step further, with branching logic that presents precisely the pick list you need, based on your previous selections.The selections and text are then converted into complete charts and summaries with full English sentences using language from the APTA guide to practice terminology.
Work Anywhere
DocuPRO’s exclusive Sync feature lets you take a notebook or tablet PC off your practice network to work on cases from home or on the road. The new documentation you create is automatically added to your office network when your PC is reconnected.
New Time-Saving Features in DocuPRO 10.2
Print to PDF. New to the latest version of DocuPRO is the ability to print reports directly to PDF. This eliminates much of the time now spent printing and faxing summaries to physicians and insurance companies, as well as the cost of paper and filing space.
Chart by exception. DocuPRO’s Stored Value Templates cut charting time on common diagnoses where the treatment plan is nearly identical in most cases. For example, a therapist can save a completed template for a classic ankle sprain, then pull up that template in the future any time he treats a patient with an ankle sprain. All of the values are already entered, and the therapist simply enters any exceptions to the stored values.
Generate home exercise plans in seconds. DocuPRO is available with a PhysioTools module — the world’s best-selling home exercise resource for physical therapy. A therapist simply clicks on a menu to select exercises to review and print for the patient.
The updated physical therapy documentation software also makes it easier to edit page headers to contain specific information helpful to the practice; therapists can create and share templates more easily as well.
