Why modern, AI-powered documentation matters
Clinical notes aren’t just “paperwork.” They are legal protection, inter-provider communication, and the single source of truth that determines whether a claim pays or rejects. Reliance on copy-paste shortcuts or generic EHRs invites missing fields, payer denials, and compliance risk. Adding AI voice recognition, template rules, and real-time billing checks can cut documentation time by half while simultaneously reducing denials, freeing therapists to treat more and chart less. PtEverywhere’s EMR layers smart dictation, pull-forward fields, and one-click claim creation onto secure cloud records, ensuring every eval, daily note, and discharge summary is complete, defensible, and audit-ready the moment you sign.
How PtEverywhere accelerates clean, defensible notes
AI voice-to-text SOAP notes
Dictate your assessment in plain language or shorthand; PtEverywhere transcribes, time-stamps, and formats the note in real time, even on iOS or Android. Edits happen inline, and once the note is signed, charges flow automatically to a superbill or electronic claim. Snap wound photos or gait-analysis clips on your phone; they auto-embed in the note.
Customizable templates & smart phrases
Build evaluation, progress, and discharge templates that mirror your exact workflow. Pull-forward fields auto-populate subjective complaints, goals, and vitals, while drop-downs for tests, measures, and modalities eliminate repetitive typing and standardize documentation across the team. Clinics using shared templates report up to 40 % faster note completion.
Integrated coding intelligence
Search ICD-10 and CPT® libraries without leaving the note. Smart filters flag non-billable codes, suggest laterality, and highlight missing modifiers before submission—protecting you from payer rejections and post-payment audits. One-click claim generation converts signed notes into superbills, 837 P files, or cash invoices.
Outcome measures & research exports
Embed PROMIS®, LEFS, or custom outcome scales directly in the chart; results pull into progress notes and discharge summaries automatically. Structured data exports to CSV for research or insurance reporting in two clicks.
Secure cloud records & audit trails
HIPAA-compliant hosting, encryption at rest/in transit, daily backups, and immutable audit logs mean every edit is tracked and recoverable, even if a tablet goes missing.
