WellStar Health System Partners with WebPT to Bring Leading Outpatient Rehab EMR to Tech Stack

PHOENIX, Dec. 12, 2017 -- WebPT, the leading rehab therapy software platform, today announced a new partnership with WellStar Health System, the largest health system in Georgia. WebPT’s market-leading outpatient rehab therapy electronic medical record (EMR) will further support WellStar Health System’s clients in improving efficiency, patient care and interoperability.

Through the partnership, WebPT will give WellStar therapists access to the most efficient, compliant EMR in rehab therapy and allow a secure transfer of data through a key integration with its physician-focused EHR, Epic^Ⓡ. The partnership further drives robust interoperability, patient engagement and value-driven health care across WellStar’s expansive outpatient care network.

“WellStar has always been at the forefront of leveraging technology and innovation to improve patient care, and WebPT will better equip their providers and leadership to do just that in their rehab therapy care centers,” said Nancy Ham, CEO of WebPT. “Our industry-leading outpatient therapy platform gives WellStar’s growing network of rehab providers the ability to track and analyze data to optimize clinic performance and patient outcomes, create compliant documentation, and ensure smooth data transfer across systems. More importantly, we’re able to join forces on our shared vision and mission to improve the quality of healthcare through better connections.”

WellStar’s leadership continually evaluates the needs of its community to equip its facilities with the latest and best technology. Consistent technology systems allow WellStar to achieve greater interoperability across its network of hospital and medical facilities. This partnership makes WebPT the first and only rehab therapy EMR to integrate with WellStar’s Epic EHR.

“At WellStar, we put our patients first, and we believe that in order to deliver world-class healthcare, you need world-class technology,” said Jason Kelsey, assistant vice president of outpatient rehab and sports medicine for WellStar Health System. “Today, we’re better able to equip providers with the tools and systems they need to deliver quality outcomes for rehab therapy patients and communicate with other providers across each patient’s spectrum of care.”
