Customer Story
Shanan Nelson
SANA Physiotherapy

{{blue-wrap}}
Background
SANA Physiotherapy, led by Shanan Nelson, is a growing physiotherapy practice on the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Founded by Shanan, the clinic serves a broad range of patients, with a particular focus on achieving optimal patient outcomes through personalised, evidence-based care. Shanan's passion for helping people and his commitment to efficiency have driven both his clinical and business practices.
Challenges
As a busy practice owner and clinician, Shanan's main goal is to provide high-quality care while managing a growing business. However, balancing clinical responsibilities with administrative duties became overwhelming. Despite his efforts to streamline processes, inefficiencies in documentation and patient communication remained significant barriers.
Time-consuming documentation
{{customer-quote-two}}
Shanan's daily routine involved seeing 12-14 patients, then spending hours writing patient notes and letters after hours. Despite his best efforts to manage time, the need to finalise documentation outside of clinical hours drained his energy and compromised his work-life balance.
Inefficient letter writing
"Before, letters would often get lost in the shuffle, taking over a week to send out, and delaying the communication with GPs."
Prior to using Heidi, Shanan’s team faced significant delays in creating and sending letters to GPs, which sometimes resulted in missed or overdue communications. This inefficiency impacted relationships with referral partners.
Maintaining patient engagement
"I was committed to providing a high level of service, but I struggled to demonstrate the time and effort I put into each patient's treatment plan. I wanted my patients to feel like they were truly heard and valued, not just another number in the system."
