Luna PTs Love to Save Time With Auto-Charting

Luna’s Auto-Charting is revolutionizing physical therapy documentation, freeing PTs from paperwork and allowing them to focus on patient care. This industry-first feature enables therapists to complete charts in just 3-4 minutes, significantly reducing the time spent on documentation. While it takes some getting used to, early feedback from Luna PTs has been overwhelmingly positive, with 90% reporting significant time savings.

Key Takeways

  • Luna’s Auto-Charting reduces documentation time by at least 50%, allowing PTs to complete notes in just a few minutes.
  • The voice-driven system minimizes typing, making charting more efficient and less tedious.
  • While there’s an adjustment period, PTs find it well worth the transition for the time and effort saved.

“This should be in every PT practice. Luna may have solved our burnout problem!”

A few months ago, we made a major announcement—Luna was making paperwork a relic of the past with Auto-Charting. This industry-first eliminates paperwork for physical therapists by allowing them to create precise, actionable charts right from their phones. No PT enters the profession to spend their days buried under paperwork. We wanted to improve the entire documentation experience so that our therapists could save time and stay focused on what they love—caring for patients.

So, how are Luna PTs liking this new feature?

We’re excited to share that Auto-Charting has been incredibly well-received by the Luna community. In a recent survey of Luna PTs, 90% found that Luna’s Auto-Charting saves them significant amounts of time compared to traditional documentation. (Our goal is to get that number to 100% as we continue to make improvements to the platform!)

As with anything new, making the shift from traditional paperwork to Auto-Charting takes some getting used to, but we’re excited to see that so many Luna PTs are already getting the hang of it. According to our therapists’ feedback, Luna Auto-Charting takes only 3-4 minutes to document a standard visit. This is a huge time-savings, even when compared to what used to take our PTs 12 minutes.

Are you thinking about adopting this new feature into your work routine? We encourage you to give it a try! Based on feedback from Luna PTs who are currently using Auto-Charting, here’s what you can expect.
