    How AI Is Quietly Saving Rehab Practices From the Inside Out with Sarah Bootcheck

    In this episode of the Willpower Podcast, recorded live at the Growth Code Conference, Will sits down with Sarah Bootcheck, Account Manager and Speech Language Pathologist at Raintree, to talk about one of the most important shifts happening in rehab right now: artificial intelligence transforming the way therapy practices operate from the inside out. Sarah brings a rare perspective to this conversation. She is both a clinician who has worked in the trenches of pediatric speech therapy and a technology professional who now helps practice owners understand and leverage the tools that can change the trajectory of their business. That combination makes her one of the most credible voices in this space. Together, Will and Sarah break down exactly how Raintree, one of the most experienced EMR platforms in the therapy space, made a bold decision to evolve or risk becoming irrelevant. After hearing directly from their largest clients that change was non-negotiable, Raintree acquired Yumi, an AI company that had already developed one of the first AI scribes built specifically for physical therapists. That acquisition became the foundation for ten new products and enhancements rolled out across 2025. In this episode you will learn: ScribeIQ and AI documentation in rehabNoteIQ clinical insights and patient progress trackingSchedulerIQ and the future of front office automationAI versus AI in medical billing and RCMWhy therapists are the most underprotected professionals in healthcareHow virtual assistants and AI work together to protect revenueThe 29% effective revenue loss hitting every outpatient practiceSubscribe to the Willpower Podcast for weekly conversations with OT, PT, and SLP owners sharing what is working right now.

    Are you a private practice owner hitting a growth ceiling?
