Why it can work

  • EMR migrations can leave patient documents misnamed or missing.
  • Manual checks of transferred documents are unmanageable at scale.
  • Internet outages leave therapists treating patients without records.

Watch out

  • Practices may resist switching EMRs once records are settled.
  • Downtime access must meet health privacy requirements.

The job to be done

Verify EMR migrations and keep records during outages

When switching EMRs leaves patient documents misnamed or missing and cloud systems go down, PT practices need a way to verify transferred records and access or back up notes during downtime, so they can keep treating patients safely.
