Case Study: Bellarmine University achieves streamlined clinical documentation and hands-on EMR training with WebPT

Bellarmine University Boosts Efficiency and Enhances Student Learning

Bellarmine University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program faced ongoing frustration with a server-based EMR: students found documentation cumbersome and easy to “click through,” faculty couldn’t ensure thoughtful clinical reasoning, and IT was burdened by frequent update work. The program needed an easy-to-use, classroom- and clinic-ready system that would expose students to real-world documentation practices.

Faculty led by Dr. Elizabeth Ennis switched to WebPT, a web-based EMR, using it in the pro-bono pediatric clinic and classroom rotations. The intuitive, cloud platform eliminated local upgrades, reduced student and faculty frustration, and provided practical, real-world documentation experience—earning overwhelmingly positive feedback and smoother clinical training across on- and off-campus settings.
