BOTH ARE: digitally secure, HIPAA compliant, easy-to-use, flexible, scalable, and affordable. Both could be appropriate platforms for our business model as alternative medicine practitioners. BUT… YOU get to make your opinion heard on the one you feel we can best utilize as a team as we press forward toward the opening of our virtual clinic!
Here is how you can help us make a strong choice:
LAST WEEK-
Last week, we asked that you choose one platform and explore it by logging in with a free trial to navigate the software on your own (don’t forget to cancel that free trial when you’re done!). How did it go? Now it’s time to select the second platform and explore that option as well. BE AWARE that you will see the second platform differently just because you already had a week with the first option!
THIS WEEK-
Start your other free trial and take this final week to explore the second platform. Discuss it with another team member you might know, like if you perhaps find out something especially useful about either platform. Here are our suggestions:
- Review the company’s website and read their reviews.
- Try it out, using it in some way every day for one week.
- Set yourself up as a practitioner and set up a friend/family member as a client. Work with a friendly colleague or actual client if possible. Try working with someone who IS and who IS NOT tech-savvy.
- Check out specific features. You could also use the platform to take notes for some of your own online consults. Then send out a superbill.
- Remember to trial it as a mobile app as well (this is available for Simple Practice, not on Therapy Notes- how important is this to us?)
- Take notice– does using the platform feel intuitive or like an uphill climb? Could you see yourself using this long-term as a practitioner working in the Telehealth Clinic? Would the average person feel comfortable as a client consult with you on this platform? Likes and dislikes?
NEXT WEEK
Make a decision. Let your experience with the platforms allow you to truly compare these two options, then submit to us your conclusions via Survey Monkey.
Our final platform decision will be made on
Friday, August 28.
On September 1st, we roll out with early prototyping and begin with a handful of committed practitioners and willing clients!
