Beyond the Note: How Agentic AI is Changing Documentation in Rehab Therapy

Therapists in outpatient rehab spend 35 to 40 percent of their working time on documentation. For most, notes happen after the last patient leaves. AI documentation tools are changing this. But there is a gap between what gets demoed and what holds up in a real clinic. Three clinic leaders share what actually happened when they made the switch. What changed. What did not. What they would do differently. And where agentic AI takes documentation next.
