HealthcareClinical Documentation4HighPhysical Therapist$ implied

A physical therapist in a skilled nursing facility struggles with excessive documentation time that reduces billable treatment time, especially during evaluations, despite using templates and point-of-service documentation.

Existing documentation methods are not ergonomically feasible in small shared patient rooms, and documentation time itself is not billable, creating a conflict between accurate record-keeping and maximizing patient treatment time.
