WebPT is one of the most well-known electronic medical record (EMR) platforms built specifically for physical therapy practices. It offers tools for scheduling, documentation, billing, and reporting. WebPT has been around since 2008 and is widely used across outpatient therapy clinics in the U.S.
While it’s a comprehensive platform, many therapy practice owners have raised concerns about its steep learning curve, time-consuming admin workflows, and limited automation.
Solum is an AI-powered front office solution designed specifically for therapy practices like speech therapy, ABA, and multidisciplinary clinics. Instead of focusing on EMR functions, Solum is built to automate front-desk workflows—from patient intake and scheduling to prior authorizations and reminders.
In short: while WebPT is an EMR, Solum is your digital front-desk assistant—working alongside whatever EMR you already use.

While WebPT covers many aspects of clinical documentation and billing, it wasn't designed to handle front-office admin work with minimal human effort.
Most clinics using WebPT still rely on:
That’s where Solum comes in.
Solum was built with the front-office team in mind. If your front desk is overwhelmed with intake forms, insurance calls, and scheduling gaps, Solum automates those steps—letting your staff focus on patient experience instead of paperwork.
Let’s say you run a growing speech and occupational therapy clinic with 15+ patients per day.
With WebPT alone:
Over a week, that easily adds up to 10+ hours of repetitive work.
With Solum:
That’s a significant time savings, even if you're already using an EMR like WebPT.
No—Solum is not an EMR. It’s designed to complement platforms like WebPT by automating your front-office operations.
Yes. Solum works alongside your current EMR, EHR, or billing platform with minimal disruption.
Absolutely. Solum uses encryption and secure protocols to protect patient data and meet HIPAA standards.
Most practices can go live with Solum in under a week. No lengthy training or onboarding is required.
Solum is ideal for speech therapy, ABA, and multidisciplinary clinics that need to reduce admin burdens without sacrificing patient communication.
If you're looking for a solid EMR with documentation and billing tools, WebPT is still a solid choice. But if you’re buried in admin work, juggling intake forms, chasing authorizations, or losing time to no-shows, you might need something more.
That’s where Solum stands out.
Solum is built for modern therapy clinics that want to automate the boring stuff—so your team can get back to doing what they do best: caring for patients.
