Jacksonville, FL (prHWY.com) February 8, 2013 - Mr. Nitin Chhoda, the editor of the extremely popular 'EMR News' website today announced the publication of a new article entitled, "Physical Therapy Software: Adoption of an Integrated Tablet-Based EMR in Your Practice." The American Physical Therapy Association is leading the effort to establish standards on EMR for physical therapy services which allows practitioners to treat patients across multiple health care settings.

In the future, a tablet-based EMR system will be a necessary component of physical therapy documentation software because of standardization and the many advantages it offers. Mr. Chhoda said, "EMRs can scan, digitize and sort information much faster than a team of support staff. And documents, photos, test results and x-rays can be easily added via a tablet to become part of the patient's permanent health record."

"I've been thinking about buying a few tablets for my office and your article has made the decision for me. I'd be remiss if I didn't use a tablet. When I visit my patients in their home I have to take all the forms with me and fill them out and then come back to office and give them to my office manager so she can enter the information on our computer." - Patrick Johnson, MPT

"A large number of states in the USA limit the amount of patients a physical therapist can treat in one hour so the more efficient a physical therapy EMR functions the more money a practitioner can make" said Chhoda. Dr. Alfred Petersen in Long Island agrees. He said, "A tablet based EMR is a no brainer as far as I'm concerned which is why I've invested money in six tablets for my office."

Recent studies show the biggest benefit of utilizing a tablet-based EMR is the elimination of data entry redundancy. A well-integrated web-based electronic medical records system allows PT professionals to input patient data on-the-fly and there's no need to re-enter the information on an office computer. Mr. Chhoda said, "If you do it correctly, you can save a lot of time and effort and increase the quality of your record keeping with a tablet-based system."
