Athletico Collaborates with Raintree for Enhanced Rehabilitation Services

In a significant move for the rehabilitation therapy sector, Athletico Physical Therapy has announced a strategic partnership with Raintree Systems, selecting Raintree as its long-term electronic health record (EHR) provider. This collaboration aims to transform Athletico's operational landscape, enhancing clinical, financial, and patient experience outcomes across nearly 900 clinics spread over 24 states and the District of Columbia.

A Partnership Rooted in Innovation

On September 8, 2026, the two organizations revealed their decision following an extensive evaluation process and thorough competitive Request for Proposal (RFP). Raintree’s comprehensive solution suite, which includes elements such as practice management, digital patient intake, analytics, and AI-driven note generation, will be implemented across Athletico’s network, marking a new era of efficiency in rehabilitation therapy.

Dan Guill, the CEO of Athletico, articulated the reasoning behind the selection: "Raintree provided the most robust mix of capabilities, scalability, and genuine partnership. Their deep understanding of our operational requirements aligns perfectly with our vision." This partnership reaffirms both companies' commitment to enhancing clinical excellence and operational performance while driving a more connected and patient-centered care experience.

Elevating Clinical and Operational Standards

Key strategic priorities for the partnership include:

1. Clinical Excellence and AI Integration: The collaboration will utilize advanced AI to streamline documentation and automation, reducing administrative workloads while improving the quality of clinical outcomes.
2. Revenue Cycle Management Optimization: Emphasizing precision, this initiative aims to reduce claim denials and enhance reimbursement rates through technologies suited for complex organizational structures.
3. Interoperability Boost: By facilitating seamless data exchange across various health systems, referral sources, and payers, the partnership will enhance the coordination of care.
4. Patient Experience Enhancement: A unified platform will improve patient engagement and reduce fragmentation in services, ensuring that patients receive timely and coordinated care.

Nick Hedges, CEO of Raintree, remarked on the partnership, stating, "When organizations share a vision for the future, remarkable outcomes are possible. Athletico’s commitment to clinical excellence makes them an ideal collaborator. We are excited to provide the technological foundation that supports their growth and continuing innovation."
