WebPT creates pediatric EMR module

WebPT, an EMR system provider for physical therapists, has released WebPT Pediatric Module, a web-based EMR module built to accommodate physical therapists’ workflow.

The module customizes electronic documentation by giving pediatric physical therapists access to templates that are designed specifically for pediatric treatment programs, according to the Phoenix-based company.

A therapist only has to input the patient's age and the documentation fields will automatically reflect those of a pediatric patient, WebPT added.
