SimplePractice vs. TherapyNotes vs. UpToDate

I think it's a good choice for solo providers who bill insurance. If you have employees or are self-pay, go elsewhere, in my opinion

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.

• On patient rounds (working with the medical team and providing them updates on various therapies
• Answering drug information questions (MDs questions that may need further review and response)
• Updating lecture material (ensuring upToDate data)
• Patient education utility (ensuring appropriate and up to date patient information)
• Not useful for a comprehensive clinical review e.g. writing a paper, but it is not designed for that function

Incentivized

• Intake paperwork formatting
• Calendar interface and ease of use
• Automated features such as appointment reminders

• 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.

Incentivized

• List relevant information on various diseases and conditions.
• Summarize pertinent information.
• Easy navigation across information and subjects.

• Would like more usability on the app.

Incentivized

• 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.

• The app is sometimes a bit hard to use

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

I have not had to contact support which is nice. If I have a question, I am typically able to find the answer within the help section.

UpToDate provides evidence-based, currently relevant medical information in an easy and clear method. The software has directly helped me stay up to date in medical treatments and new information on etiology of diseases. This information has directly and positively improved my care and treatments for various musculoskeletal conditions and diseases.

It is easy to do, can be done overnight, and requires no special skill set or guidance from TherapyNotes

Also Kalix, Practice Better, Practice Q (formerly Intake Q), Healthie, Jane, etc. I'm hoping to switch to Practice Q soon.

Therapy notes is easier to work with across all domains. Faster and more effective when it comes to writing and entering notes

UpToDate offers a much more comprehensive tool when compared with Epocrates. Although both provide good drug references UpToDate goes far beyond the Epocrates tool in terms of clinical disease diagnostic data.

• The electronic paperwork has established me as a professional in the modern age
• It has allowed me to streamline parts of my group practice
• It has helped me stay organized and keep up with things to be done

Incentivized

• 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.

Incentivized

• Improves patient care.
• Improves provider treatment plans.
• Updates clinical standards and treatment options.
