    Well suited in the clinical setting although a little tedious. Not suited in many other places.

    TherapyNotes
    TherapyNotes is ideal for any size practice with single or multiple providers/clinicians. Its scheduling, billing, EHR, and online portal are great for English speakers but not at all user-friendly to Spanish speakers. It is definitely affordable for a start-up practice and fees associated with merchant services are low compared to competitors.

    Pros
    Oracle
    • Scheduling - I personally enjoy the ease of use with the solution. It also has a great "memory" as to patient rescheduling, no shows, etc. Being able to create multiple schedules to reflect different practitioners is such a major plus in this system.
    • Customization - I am able to create Super-bills, Global Periods, and Insurance Details pertinent to each patient and not have to RECREATE them every time like I had to in past systems.
    • EOB - an added bonus is the ability for the system to check EOB ahead of time. This is a HUGE time saving in an office!

    • Connect with clients through the client portal and allows you to share documents.
    • Submits claims to the insurance companies and connects with CAQH.
    • Tech support is phenomenal.
    • Free, secure telehealth platform.

    Cons
    Oracle
    • Only seems applicable for small organizations.

    TherapyNotes
    • Spanish documents are not available. There is not a way to use Spanish documents that can be filled out online like the English documents; instead, the practice must upload a PDF into the Library, share with client via portal and have then print, fill out manually, and upload for organization review and approval.
    • Sync feature from Client History Form is inconsistent. It may work with some clients but not with all. Sometimes the user has to completely log out and log back in in order to obtain partially parsed information to use in a treatment plan or psychotherapy note.

    I am a creature of habit and other than some areas (Spanish user-friendliness), TherapyNotes fits the bill for what I'm looking for in an EHR

    It's just so simple to use. It's made for therapists, so you don't have to bend or twist it into place to meet your needs

    Everything within the system works smoothly, it’s just time-consuming and could be a bit more simplistic.

    I personally would use this system over any other systems currently on the market. Athena has a nice product...however, it can be quite expensive and the colors are draining on the eyes. eClinical Works also has a system that is comparable, but the customization I found wasn't as easy as the Cerner product

    To some degree, I think you pick TherapyNotes or SimplePractice much the same way people choose Toyota over Honda - It's a style preference. There are definitely differences between the two, but they function the same in many ways. Other EHRs that I've used were for medical practices and hospitals. They weren't developed with behavioral health in mind, at least not in the initial development

    TherapyNotes
    • Saves time specifically with entering notes which means I can spend more time seeing clients.
    • Does not have the ability to enter dual caregivers. Challenging for parents who are divorced and signatures are required from both parents. It is not effective to have two separate portals for the same child.
