Can it write PT SOAP notes?

Yes. Subjective from the patient's report, objective from the measurements you call out during the session, assessment with your clinical reasoning, and plan. You can also build your own structure if your clinic documents differently, and set it as your default.

Does it capture range of motion and strength measurements?

Measurements are captured as you say them, including degrees of range of motion and manual muscle test grades. Saying them out loud during the session is faster than typing them after, and it is what you already do when working with an aide or a student.

Does the documentation support medical necessity?

ClinicFrame structures objective measurements, functional limitations, skilled interventions, patient response, and progress toward goals. These details support your medical necessity documentation. The payer and plan of care determine coverage.

Can I document while my hands are on the patient?

That is the intended use. Manual therapy leaves no hands for a keyboard, so you narrate what you are finding and doing the way you already would, and it becomes the note. Nothing needs to be typed during the session.

Does it work for home health PT without reliable signal?

ClinicFrame saves the session while it runs. If the connection drops during a home visit, return to the saved transcript and continue. You can also dictate in the car after the visit.

Is it useful for OT and speech-language pathology?

Yes, and both are treated as their own disciplines rather than a variation on PT. ADL performance, swallowing and communication goals are documented in the measures those fields use, and a multidisciplinary team can share one structure.

What happens to the audio from a session?

ClinicFrame processes session audio and discards it. Your account retains the transcript, note, and patient information used in your workflow. Patient content is not used to train AI models, and a BAA is included with every account.

Will daily notes end up looking identical?

That is the failure mode this is meant to avoid. Each note is generated from that session, so the specific measurements, parameters and responses stay in it. Weeks of copy-pasted daily notes is one of the most common reasons continued care gets denied.

AI Physical Therapy Notes and PT SOAP Notes

Nobody denies the treatment. They deny the note you wrote at nine at night.

Medical necessity is reviewed more closely in physical therapy than in most specialties, and the whole argument lives in the documentation: the measurements, the skilled intervention, the response, the progress toward a specific goal. That is a lot to reconstruct from memory after nine patients, and reconstructed notes start to read the same every time, which is exactly what a reviewer denies.

HIPAA compliant

Encryption in transit and at rest, access controls and audit logs, on infrastructure built for protected health information.

BAA included with your account

A Business Associate Agreement is included with your account, including the free trial. Complete the agreement before entering patient information.

Visit audio is discarded

Visit audio is processed and discarded. Your account retains the transcript, notes, and patient information used in your documentation workflow.

Your patients stay out of training

Your patients’ information is not used to train AI models. The agreement with ClinicFrame describes the commitments for handling patient content.

Document each PT setting on its terms

Outpatient, home health, and rehabilitation notes support different plans of care. ClinicFrame keeps the measurements and skilled intervention visible.

Built for: DPT, private and clinic practice
Why it is for you: You treat with your hands for forty-five minutes and then document range of motion, strength and functional change from memory, for every patient, all day.
What changes: Measurements captured as you call them during the session
Range of motion and strength grades recorded as stated
The note finished before the next patient is on the table
How we differ: Manual therapy leaves no hands for a keyboard. The measurements you already say out loud become the objective section.Compare PT and OT AI scribes

Built for: In-home therapy
Why it is for you: You document in the car between houses, and the visit note has to justify skilled care in the home, which is the documentation payers question most.
What changes: Dictation in the car right after the visit
Home environment and safety findings captured as described
Skilled need documented from what you actually did
How we differ: Home health PT is audited on whether the care needed a skilled therapist. That argument lives in the note, and the note is written in a car.See how notes are exported

Built for: Skilled nursing and acute rehab
Why it is for you: Daily treatment notes over weeks, plus the minutes and modalities the MDS and Part B billing depend on, plus progress that has to be visible in the record itself.
What changes: Daily notes that stay specific instead of drifting into copy-paste
Treatment minutes and modalities recorded as you state them, never counted for you
Change from the last session made visible
How we differ: Weeks of daily notes is where documentation becomes identical paragraphs, and identical paragraphs are what a reviewer denies.See how the note is built

Built for: Athletes, return to play
Why it is for you: Objective testing, load progression and return-to-play decisions that someone else may question later, including the athlete's team.
What changes: Test results and load progression recorded exactly as measured
Return-to-play reasoning documented at the time of the decision
Session-by-session progression visible across a rehab block
How we differ: A return-to-play decision gets reviewed after the fact. The reasoning has to be in the note from the day it was made.See custom templates

Built for: Specialized practice
Why it is for you: Long sessions, sensitive histories and findings that no general orthopedic template has fields for.
What changes: Your own template rather than an orthopedic structure
Sensitive histories documented without a recording kept
Functional outcomes tracked in the measures your specialty uses
How we differ: A general PT template forces specialized practice into the wrong fields. Build the structure once and every session after fits it.See the note formats

Built for: Occupational and speech-language
Why it is for you: The same documentation load as PT, with even fewer tools built for the discipline: ADL performance, swallowing, communication goals.
What changes: ADL and functional performance captured as observed
Goals and progress in your discipline's language
One template shared across a multidisciplinary team
How we differ: OT and speech get treated as an afterthought by tools built for orthopedics. The goals and measures are different, and the note has to reflect that.See how editing and exporting works

Built for: Direct pay, no insurance
Why it is for you: Nobody is auditing you, so documentation competes with everything else and quietly loses. Until you need a record and it is not there.
What changes: Documentation that costs almost nothing to produce
A defensible record even without a payer requiring it
Progress a patient can actually see between visits
How we differ: Cash-based practice makes documentation optional, which is exactly why it disappears. Reducing the cost to near zero is what keeps it.See how data is handled

Built for: Teams across locations
Why it is for you: Notes have to read the same across twenty therapists and five sites, or the group cannot defend its documentation as a whole.
What changes: One shared template across every therapist and site
Consistent objective sections regardless of who treated
A signed BAA covering the whole team
How we differ: In a group, documentation quality is set by the least consistent therapist. A shared structure applied at generation raises the floor.See how custom templates work

Build a custom template when your clinic requires different sections or instructions.

The documents that support skilled PT care

Physical therapy is documented against goals and reviewed for medical necessity more closely than most specialties. These three carry that argument.

Initial evaluation

History, objective measurements, functional limitations, clinical reasoning, goals with timeframes and the plan of care. The longest document in a PT episode and the one everything after refers back to.

What comes backAn evaluation with objective measures, functional limitations, goals and plan of care.

Daily treatment note

What you did, with what parameters, how the patient responded and progress toward each goal. Plus the minutes and modalities that billing depends on.

What comes backA treatment note with interventions, parameters, response and progress per goal.

Re-evaluation and discharge

Measurements compared against the initial evaluation, goals met and unmet, and the reasoning for continuing, changing or discharging. The document a payer reads when deciding on more visits.

What comes backA comparison against baseline, goal status and the reasoning for the next phase.

From the measurements to the note you sign

Visit eight of an authorized episode, post-operative knee. The measurements come from what you called out while your hands were busy.

This is how it transcribes

Illustrative example. No real patient data. Degrees, grades, sets and reps are transcribed exactly as you state them and are never estimated for you. You review and sign every note.
