Physical therapy is often grouped into the broader healthcare conversation, but delivering therapy is fundamentally different from delivering primary or acute care. So why has the industry spent so long trying to fit it into technology that wasn't built for it?
In this episode of Kno2fy, co-hosts Therasa Bell and Whitney Cole are joined by Carrie Myers, VP of Enterprise Transformation at Raintree Systems, for a conversation about the unique realities of therapy and rehabilitation. Together, they explore why therapists have historically been left behind by healthcare technology, how disconnected systems create unnecessary work for clinicians, and why interoperability should be measured by better patient care, not simply by the movement of data. From reducing administrative burden to creating more connected patient experiences, this discussion highlights why understanding therapy is essential to building a healthcare system that truly works for everyone.
