For physical therapistsSurgeon to therapist. Therapist to surgeon.Nothing lost.
BlackOpsPT equips the therapist with powerful tools for a seamless transition from the OR table to the therapy table.
Surgery is one part of the outcome. Therapy may be the most important part.
Yet even in the strongest surgeon and therapist relationships, little of what matters makes it from one to the other. Too often, therapy begins without the answers to these questions.
- 01Who is the patient, and what is their background?
- 02Have they had surgery before?
- 03What was found at the time of surgery, and how severe was it?
- 04What was done in surgery?
- 05What does the surgeon expect for this patient?
- 06Which rehabilitation protocol applies?
Every answer, in the patient's hands.
As soon as the operative report is finished, the surgeon's sign-out can be prepared from it: the patient's background, prior surgeries, what was found and how severe it was, what was done, what the surgeon expects and the surgeon's own rehabilitation protocol. It goes into the patient's Recovery Passport, a secure digital record the patient carries to any therapist, whether or not that clinic uses BlackOpsPT.

- Opens at any clinic, on any platform
- Background
- Division I basketball player; two years of eligibility left; professional prospect
- Prior surgery
- None
- Findings
- Large labral tear with chondrolabral separation; positive wave sign; grade 2 chondromalacia adjacent to the tear; large cam deformity
- Procedure
- Labral repair and femoral osteoplasty
- Expectations
- Uncomfortable at first from the extensive osteoplasty and swelling; otherwise a standard recovery
- Protocol
- Standard hip arthroscopy protocol
Full value, with or without the surgeon on board.
When the surgeon is not on BlackOpsMD, the therapist issues the Recovery Passport instead, with the protocol, the progress, the benchmarks and the milestones reached, so care continues at whichever clinic the patient visits next. The quality of care BlackOpsPT supports does not depend on every provider joining the ecosystem.
Direct communication. No ambiguity.
When the surgeon and the therapist both work in the ecosystem, the episode is shared from the operating room to discharge: measured progress reaches the surgeon on its own, and the plan of care is signed electronically, without a fax or a phone call.

Record the visit. The note writes itself.
Start the ambient scribe straight from the day's schedule and let it listen through the visit. When the visit is over, it drafts the evaluation, daily, progress, re-evaluation or discharge note in your format for you to review and sign, so documentation takes less time away from the patient.
- Record straight from the schedule
- Every visit type, in your format
- You review and sign every note
Progress you can show the surgeon.
Patient-reported outcomes and physical benchmarks, measured over the course of care and shared with the referring surgeon automatically. Every visit note ends with a one-line status written for the surgeon, so the important details arrive without anyone reading the full note.
Your caseload. Your numbers.
Your day, week and month at a glance: the patients you see, the surgeons whose patients you treat and your own outcomes. Your numbers are yours, ready for a new position, a contract negotiation or an incentive model.
- Patient mix and referring surgeons
- Your own outcome data
- Ready for a new role or a negotiation
Suggested codes, your call.
Suggested evaluation-complexity and timed-service codes sit beside each note for your review, with units worked out from the minutes you document. The coding decision stays with you.
Straight answers.
Do we need a BlackOpsMD surgeon to use it?
No. Notes, outcomes, billing suggestions and letterhead work for any clinic, and your therapists can issue the Recovery Passport themselves. When the referring surgeon uses BlackOpsMD, the surgeon's sign-out and the shared episode come with it.
What if the patient changes clinics?
The Recovery Passport goes with them. The next therapist starts with the protocol, the progress so far and the milestones already reached, whatever system that clinic uses.
How do patients complete outcome questionnaires?
From a private link. Scores land on the episode, trend over time and are shared back with the referring surgeon automatically.
How does the surgeon sign the plan of care?
Electronically. We show exactly how in a live demo.
Where is patient information stored?
In US data centers, encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher, on the same platform as BlackOpsMD. Details are on the Security page.
