PTA cannot update or mark goals in EMR because it is considered an assessment outside their scope, but the EMR does not prevent them from doing so, leading to documentation ambiguity.
Existing EMRs allow PTAs to inadvertently mark goals as met, which is outside their scope of practice, and do not provide role-based permissions or guidance to prevent this.

Implied Software Gaps
- EMR with role-based permissions and language flagging for PTAs to prevent scope-of-practice violations
App Concept
ScopeGuard Documentation
An EMR add-on that enforces role-based documentation permissions for PTAs, preventing them from updating goals or using assessment language while automatically flagging objective data trends. It provides real-time compliance alerts and reduces liability.
Key Features
- Role-based permissions restricting PTA access to goal updates and assessment fields
- Real-time alerts when PTA enters potential assessment language
- Auto-populated objective trend summaries (increase/decrease) without assessment wording
- Compliance audit trail for documentation review
Target Users: Physical therapist assistants in acute care or outpatient settings who use EMRs and need to document objectively without overstepping scope.
Revenue Model: $15/mo per user SaaS subscription for EMR integration, or $0.02 per documentation entry
