**Answer:** A physiotherapy EHR should track the whole episode of care, not just single visits. Look for structured assessments, fast treatment notes, treatment plans and goals, home exercise programmes, outcome measures that can be charted, and scheduling and billing linked to every session. In Kenya it also needs M-Pesa and insurance workflows, pricing in KES, and role-based access and audit trails that meet the Data Protection Act 2019. Speed of documentation decides adoption.

### Checklist for a physiotherapy EHR

- Episodes and packages: sessions used and remaining, split across self-pay, insurance and packages.
- Clinical records: referral and intake, consent, assessment templates, quick follow-up notes, treatment plans and progress reviews.
- Home exercise programmes and outcome measures stored as structured data, so progress can be charted.
- Scheduling and billing: provider calendars, reminders, invoices, receipts, balances and M-Pesa codes matched to invoices.
- Access and reporting: role-based access, audit trails, clear data hosting, and multi-location staff and performance reports.

In a demo, run the same anonymised scenarios with every vendor, time a follow-up note, ask for a test data export, check behaviour on a weak connection and get all pricing in KES. Walk away if outcome scores are free text or everyone can see everything.
