WebPT

WebPT is a Phoenix, Arizona-based company that provides web-based electronic medical record (EMR) systems for physical therapists.[1][2] In addition to its patient documentation software, WebPT offers systems for billing, scheduling, and practice management.[2] As of February 2015, more than 43,000 rehabilitation professionals in over 7,000 clinics used WebPT’s system.[3]

WebPT was named to the Inc. 500 list of the "fastest-growing private U.S. companies" in 2013 and 2014.[4] From 2011 to 2013, the company was named one of the "Best Places to Work in the Valley" by the Phoenix Business Journal.[5][6][7] In October 2014, the company reported a three-year growth rate of 1,316 percent, making it the fastest-growing company in Phoenix.[1]

History

WebPT was founded in 2008 by Heidi Jannenga and her husband, Brad Jannenga.[2] Heidi had a physical therapy practice, which helped spark the idea for the software.[2] Brad is president and CTO and Heidi is COO. Paul Winandy is CEO.[8]

In 2010, the startup received a $1 million funding round from Canal Partners, led by Jim Armstrong.[9] WebPT received an undisclosed investment in June 2014 from venture capital firm Battery Ventures.[10]

To expand its billing system, WebPT acquired Health Data Solutions in 2012, a revenue cycle management business that provided billing services primarily to physical therapists and chiropractors.[11] WebPT acquired WebOutcomes, an online outcomes tracking tool offering evidence-based tests that physical and occupational therapists use to collect objective patient data, in November 2014.[12]

In 2013, WebPT launched the WebPT Marketplace, an e-commerce site with the goal of selling clinical supplies to WebPT customers at reduced rates.[10] The company announced a partnership with SOLS, a manufacturer of 3D-printed foot orthotics, in February 2015.[13]
