# Onboarding

> Welcome to StrataPT. This guide walks you through what to expect during onboarding and how to get your practice live on StrataEMR efficiently and confidently.

## Our Onboarding Experience

When you join StrataPT, you don’t just get a platform - you get a partner. From the moment your contract is signed, our Onboarding team will guide you through a structured, white-glove onboarding program designed to get your practice live with StrataEMR smoothly and on schedule. You’ll have a dedicated point of contact throughout the process, so you’re never left wondering what comes next.

**Right after signing, you'll be asked to:**

* **Sign and return** your ACH form via PandaDoc
* **Schedule your Kickoff Call** with your Customer Success Manager
* **Access StrataEMR** and begin completing your onboarding paperwork, including:

**To prepare for Kickoff, we recommend gathering:**

* **\~10 example claims** you’ve previously submitted
* **A list of your top payers** and payer contracts
* **Logins** for your payer portals
* **An employee roster** of your front desk, clinical, and administrative staff

## Week 2 - Setup

In this stage we’ll begin setting up and configuring your StrataEMR account. At this stage we activate all our teams that support your organization to ensure your account is fully configured and ready to go by the end of this stage.

* **RCM Partnership Call** – Review how our billing and collections team operates, what to expect, and confirm we have the data needed to set up your account.
* **Portal Enrollments** – Once your account is configured, we’ll begin submitting payer portal enrollments for your organization.
* **Documentation Review** - Review and personalize StrataEMR’s built-in documentation to fit your team’s needs.

## Week 2 - Prepare

This stage is focused on getting ready for your Launch Date. If you’ve selected a Patient Demographics Import we’ll perform, validate, and review the import with your team at the beginning of this stage.

During this stage you’ll focus on:

* Validating and reviewing your patient demographics import (if selected)
* Moving your schedule into StrataEMR
* Entering benefit, authorization, plan of care, and visit information for all scheduled patients
* Reviewing and customizing patient intake documentation
* Uploading prior case information
* Creating initial documents for upcoming visits to save time on Day 1

You’ll meet with our team to confirm all configurations and workflows are correct. Our focus is making sure patients, cases, demographics, and policies are ready so reimbursements flow smoothly from the start.

## Week 3 - Training

Your team will complete their StrataEMR training through StrataPT University (SPTU), our dedicated learning platform. Each staff member completes a role-specific certification track — Clinician, Front Desk, or Admin — at their own pace before your go-live date. Credentials are provisioned for your team as part of this stage.

Once your staff have completed their certification courses, you'll meet with our Product Trainer for a live Q\&A session. This call is designed to address any questions that came up during the online curriculum and verify that your specific workflows are ready to go. The session focuses on three areas:

* **Workflow Verification** - Confirming that your intake-to-documentation flow is seamless for your clinic's specific setup.
* **Role-Specific Q\&A** - Clearing up any "How do I..." questions for your front desk, clinical staff, or admins.
* **Confidence Check** - Finalizing settings and templates so your team can hit the ground running on Day 1.

<Note>
  **Before the Q\&A call:** All attendees should complete their StrataPT University certification modules in advance. The more of the curriculum your team finishes beforehand, the more productive the live session will be.
</Note>

Meanwhile, our teams continue working behind the scenes — finalizing enrollments, making any requested configuration updates, and completing fax number transfers (typically a 10-business-day process).

## Week 4 - Launch

Most clients choose to launch on a Monday, ensuring a clean transition. From that day forward:

* All documentation is logged exclusively in StrataEMR
* Claims are submitted directly through the platform
* You’ll have frequent check-ins with our team to confirm everything is running smoothly

**Our goal is simple:** Get your team documenting, scheduling, and billing with minimal disruption to your patient care and practice's revenue flow.
