What is the best EHR for physical therapy?
The best EHR for physical therapy is one that's built PT-first (not a general EHR with a therapy skin), includes an ambient AI scribe so documentation doesn't follow you home, publishes transparent pricing, and lets you switch without taking your current system offline. Established options include WebPT, SPRY, Raintree, Prompt, and Heno; Orion is built around an included ambient scribe (Aurora), published pricing of $189–$249 per provider, per month, and a no-downtime switch.
There’s no single “best” EHR for every clinic, it depends on your size and priorities. But the criteria that matter most for PT are consistent: PT-specific documentation and workflows, an AI scribe that’s genuinely ambient (not a separate app or paid add-on), billing with eligibility verified at booking, an open app marketplace (coming in 2027) so you can extend the system, multi-location support, and a low-risk way to try it before you switch.
The differences show up in the specifics. SPRY’s pricing page lists its AI scribe under the higher Plus tier. WebPT, Raintree and Prompt publish no price at all, so the only route to a number is a demo. Orion was built to lead on all of those criteria, the ambient scribe is the included flagship, pricing is public, and Orion runs alongside your current EHR during the switch.
The best way to decide is to compare head-to-head and then try the real product on your own workflows.
