WebPT is used to educate DPT students about electronic documentation. This product is used since there is an educator version. Since WebPT is used in many outpatient settings, the exposure helps them if they are in clinics using WebPT. The students do a practice evaluation and treatment note based on a paper case. They also evaluate a patient educator and document in WebPT. This platform is more challenging when we are trying to document an eval that is more cardiopulmonary focused.
Pros
Having a lot of tests and adding to the list.
Minimal down time where we can't use it in real time.
Easy to read pdf of the notes.
Cons
Designing more modules about how to use WebPT that are more in-depth, especially to help students and first-time users.
More information on the errors that need to be corrected before the note can be finalized.
Easier way to find tests to add to the note.
Easier way to upload 70 new students rather than doing them one at a time.
Likelihood to Recommend
WebPT is well suited for ortho outpatients. It is not as easy if the patient has a primary cardiopulmonary diagnosis. We have tried to use this to simulate inpatient documentation as there is no educational version of inpatient systems such as Epic, and it does not work well for the inpatient setting.
