Benefits

What your physiotherapy department gains from day one.

Referral management from HMS physicians

Physiotherapy referrals arrive directly from the Physician Workbench — no paper, no phone calls. The physiotherapist reviews the referral, clinical notes and relevant results before the first appointment.

Initial assessment and goal setting

Structured physiotherapy assessment forms capture subjective history, objective findings, impairments and functional limitations; SMART goals set with the patient at the first session.

Session scheduling and attendance

Physiotherapy appointment diary integrated with the HMS scheduling module — book, reschedule and cancel sessions; attendance status recorded for compliance and billing.

Treatment plan and exercise prescription

Personalised treatment plans with modalities, manual techniques and home exercise programmes — exercise library with sets, reps and progression criteria for the patient to follow between sessions.

Outcome measurement with functional scales

Validated outcome measures (DASH, Oxford Knee, PSFS, VAS) scored and tracked over the course of treatment; progress graphs show the patient and referrer the measurable functional improvement.

Discharge summary to referring physician

At discharge, a structured physiotherapy summary — goals achieved, outcome scores, home programme and further recommendations — is generated and sent automatically to the referring physician's inbox.

Part of metaSOFT HMS

Physiotherapy is one of 20+ integrated modules on the metaSOFT HMS platform — one database, one patient record, one source of truth.

The Physiotherapy Module eliminates the departmental silo that physiotherapy departments typically operate in. Referrals arrive electronically from the Physician Workbench; session charges post automatically to the billing module; and the discharge summary returns to the referring clinician's inbox — all without any manual coordination.

Outcome data captured in structured assessments feeds the hospital's quality reporting and provides the evidence base for extending insurance authorisation when a patient needs additional sessions. The result is a physiotherapy department that is clinically excellent, administratively lean and financially transparent.
