Spend more time with clients, less on paperwork.
All-in-one online, paperless practice management software for physiotherapists: manage bookings, intake forms, clinical notes, invoicing, payments, and video calls effortlessly
Trusted by physiotherapists everywhere
The perfect tool for managing your physiotherapy practice
Easy to administer and fully customisable, Bookem streamlines client communication and reduces your administrative load
Your team's diary, online
SMS / email appointment confirmations, surveys or follow-up notifications are easy to create or personalise to suit your communication style.
Include dynamic variables such as 'first name' or 'business phone number' or link to a client's individualised intake or indemnity form, which includes a place for them to sign.
Save time and reduce administrative costs by offering patients the flexibility to book appointments online 24/7, while keeping full control over your schedule. Customise your online booking options with settings like minimum and maximum booking times, excluding certain services, or opting for booking requests instead of automatic confirmations. If you prefer, you can switch off online bookings and manage appointments manually.
Want to appear busier to attract more clients? Bookem allows you to configure your calendar to look fully booked without revealing your actual availability.
Let clients book and pay online for instant confirmation upon payment. Useful for video calls/telehealth sessions.
Or invoice at any stage after a booking is made and let clients pay online directly from their invoices or online payment links; payments are reconciled automatically on Bookem as the payment is confirmed.
Clients can reply to automated messages such as SMS or email reminders or confirmations. You can again reply to these messages or just send ad hoc manual messages. This can be useful for last minute comm's before an appointment, such as a quick note to say that appointments are running 10 minutes late.
All outgoing and incoming messages are stored against a client's profile in their Messages tab.
Go paperless with web forms
Now all your data capturing can be done by clients. No more recapturing errors.
Rules can be set up to automatically send clients forms you need them to complete, such as intake forms or questionnaires after a particular kind of appointment. Forms are fully customisable, and are optimised for your client's device, whether it's mobile, tablet or desktop.
Forms consist of flexible field types, such as short or long text fields, multiple choice, checkboxes or images, such as body charts, for annotation. Signatures can be added as a compulsory field for clients to complete, and they do this using their fingers (on mobile/tablets) or their mouse (desktop) before they are able to submit the forms.
Forms can be set up to automatically merge with their profiles upon submission.
This data is then available to be used in various ways, for e.g., auto completing invoices with medical aid details, for using in automated messaging, or for auto-completing other forms that need to get filled out by clients that have an overlap in questions that need answering.
Questions you ask clients when they book online can be customised for different services. Add diagrams or body charts for them to draw onto, such as 'Draw with your mouse or finger on the area where you recently had surgery.'
Invoicing and payments
Appointments can be invoiced and emailed/SMSed in as little as 3 clicks, directly from your calendar.
Invoices get automatically populated with information that would usually take more time or effort on other platforms
For effortless medical aid-compliant invoicing, quickly search through and add ICD-10, treatment/procedure codes, descriptions and pricing.
NAPPI, consumable, SKU, or other codes, descriptions and pricing can be loaded too.
Save time and eliminate costly mistakes by creating groups of multiple invoice line items (codes, descriptions and pricing) for inserting one or more of these groups into an invoice with a click.
For clients that get invoiced similarly every session, just choose to copy from any of their most recent invoices and make any changes that might be needed. Invoicing this way means you can create and email an invoice in 5 clicks, directly from the calendar.
Bookem allows for various manual payment methods (POS, cash, or EFT), as well as online credit card payments through online payment gateways such as Snapscan, Payfast, and/or Paypal.
Payments made with online payment gateways are reconciled automatically, e.g. a client pays their bill with Snapscan and it gets marked as paid automatically.
View account reports such as Age Analysis, Invoices issued or Payments recorded online. Download your time-based accounts data into spreadsheets pre-loaded with filters for truly flexible reporting.
Treatment notes
Store your treatment notes & files all in one place
Type or write with an Apple Pencil to record information about your clients right from your calendar.
Insert into your notes reusable templates, such as initial assessments, follow-up assessments, questionnaires, or any other form templates.
If you prefer, you can create templates with scans of your paper documents for annotating on digitally with your phone, tablet or desktop using your mouse, stylus/Apple Pencil or just with your finger.
Bookem provides some typical templates for physiotherapists that you can customise, or you can create your own.
Upload and store files associated with your clients all in one place, such as:
- photos of them doing specific movements
- letters (scans, pdfs, etc.)
- x-rays or scans
- images
Load images, or take a photo while editing a note. Draw or write directly on it with your finger, mouse, Apple Pencil or stylus.
Useful for drawing on body charts, or making notes on scans of documents.
Video calls
Use Bookem for an integrated video call platform with unlimited minutes included in your subscription.
No software download required.
Automatic reminders include links to join.
Other platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime or Microsoft Teams can be used for your video calls instead.
Clients join from their reminder link, and you join straight from your calendar.
