Discovering the Dual Capabilities of Therapy Care Plus

As a complementary and alternative health care practitioner, you know the importance of time management. Save a minute or two here or there, and it adds up. You need practice management and scheduling software that can help you save those valuable minutes your current software is costing you.

There are several web-based practice management programs available on the market. There are also many types of online scheduling software. To run your office, you'd need to open each program up, and work through each to get tasks accomplished. You'd need one program to schedule the client, one to look at (and update) the client's chart with relevant data for the appointment. That's a hassle, one that is wasting your valuable time.

You need a comprehensive program that can handle both tasks for you, but until recently, there were no programs that could meet this ideal. You were stuck using software that could only handle half of what you needed it to do.

Enter Therapy Care Plus. This new web-based practice management software goes beyond what you've come to expect. Not only does it have a ton of automated features to make running your practice easier, it also has full online scheduling capabilities. When a client calls for an appointment, you don't need to open a second program. Everything you need is right in front of you.

Therapy Care Plus also allows your clients to access the scheduling software online, find available appointment times, and pick a time that works best for them. Setting up an appointment only requires four simple steps, and clients can make appointments 24 hours a day, from any internet connection. No more waiting until the office opens. Clients even receive an automated reminder a day before their appointment.

This sounds great, right? You can probably understand the practicality of being able to handle all of your business needs in one easy program, but what if you are already using, and paying for, a different system? Why switch now?

If you're using two different programs to manage your practice and schedule clients, you're not making efficient use of your time. Maintaining data separately makes it harder to operate. For example, if you're scheduling a client over the phone, you'll be able to view his or her patient file, prior billing history and other relevant data at the same time you're making the appointment. All of the information you need is immediately available, right in the same program you're using to make the appointment. Also, if a patient calls with a question about his or her health, you can immediately see when their next scheduled appointment is, instead of needing to access a second program to find this information.

This practicality is also useful as you are reviewing your schedule for the day. You can look through scheduled appointments on any given day, and access the files you'll need, reviewing what each client is visiting you for. This is especially useful when paired with the Therapy Care Plus feature allowing patients to book their own appointments. You'll be prepared for each client before they arrive, and be able to get right into meeting their needs.

Therapy Care Plus has tons of web-based features that can help your office run smoother and more efficiently. Because the program is run online, you have access to your notes and client information wherever you are, and your clients can also view their records, schedule appointments, and even learn more about your practice and the other therapists working with you. No other practice management software can offer the features found in this web-based software. If you want the very best in for your business, you need Therapy Care Plus.

New way to manage your practice in Web 2.0 era – Are you ready yet?

Clients kept waiting, only to spend a few rushed minutes with the treatment specialist they've waited so long to see. Therapists who are distracted by making appointments, taking SOAP notes, and filling out forms. The current way of running a CAM office isn't working. There has to be a better way, but what?

According to Internet World Statistics, nearly 80% of the US is connected to the internet. The internet is used for work, education and for entertainment. It allows people to work from home, or to stay in touch with friends and relatives across the globe.

The one thing people haven't been able to do on the internet is seek complimentary or alternative medical care. There was no way to schedule an appointment or to connect with their therapists outside of the medical office. This lack of using modern technology doesn't only hinder clients; it severely limits the care that a therapist can give. In order to better serve your clients, you need to be a part of the online community. You need to make health care and follow-up more accessible.

You need web based practice management software.

How will web based practice management software revolutionize the way your office operates? By giving you more time to grow your business, for starters. Paperwork, billing, scheduling and inventory control take time away from your clients. This limits the number of people you can see each day, which limits your potential profits. It also restricts the level of care you can offer.

How much easier would your practice run if patients could schedule their own appointments, based on your availability and their schedules? What if you could handle billing, patient follow-up and SOAP notes in one easy-to-use program?

Therapy Care Plus is the new software than can change the way your office operates. Not only are there several features designed to make your practice more efficient, there is a long list of automated features to keep you on top of patient care.

Clients automatically receive an appointment reminder email a day before their appointment. You can set up the software to send you a list of uncollected customer balances to your email account each week. You can also get a weekly notification about upcoming client birthdays, allowing you to email a birthday message or sent a card, letting your clients know that you appreciate their business. Patients will appreciate you taking the extra step to connect with them, and it will keep them coming to you for their health care needs. There is also an automated feature that sends daily reminders of any inventory that is running low.

Therapy Care Plus has several key features that can help you simplify your CAM practice. You can access records from any internet connection, and the level of efficiency your office operates at will go up significantly.

Perhaps the best part about this software is that it's so easy to set up and use. You don't need hours of extensive training. A training webinar, recorded for your use, starts you off, and then you get phone support included for 45 days, unlimited email support, and a dedicated coach to help you get started. Automatic updates give you access to new medical codes as soon as they become available. Everything is easy to understand, and you can begin as soon as your profile is set-up.

Therapy Care Plus is the best way to bring your practice into the new technological era. Reclaim your time as a therapist, and give your clients the best care possible. With Therapy Care Plus, the future of complimentary and alternative care is available now; all you need to do is contact us, or sign up to get started right away.

Importance of SOAP notes - How SOAP notes work on TherapyCarePlus?

It's no secret that CAM practitioners are infamous for keeping less than adequate SOAP notes in their client's files. Why? It is simply because note-taking is a drain on the CAM Practitioners' time and CAM practitioners operate their business as well. However, the lack of clients' file prevents a practice from growing to its full potential. This is because SOAP notes are often the target of insurance companies looking for reasons not to reimburse the CAM practitioner for services rendered.

The SOAP notes provide structure for the CAM practitioner to record their findings and to maintain a case management plan. It sounds straightforward, but insurance companies have really clamped down on treatment plans, and some have even gone as far as paying for only a limited number of visits with no consideration of the client's condition.

With the concern of a looming insurance audit at an all-time high, many CAM practitioners are afraid to bill for too many services. As a result, it is becoming more common that the payment received only covers a partial amount of the care provided. With insurance reimbursement becoming more difficult, more CAM practitioners are turning to keep the SOAP note electronically.

Keeping electronic SOAP notes allows the CAM practitioner to spend more time seeing patients and less time worrying if their paperwork is done properly. In addition to saving time, software actually helps the office increase their profits by accurately billing for all services rendered. Reduce paperwork, easy to find client's record. Many CAM practitioners know that it is quite challenging to stay up to date with the constantly changing landscape of insurance reimbursement.

Having all said that, how TherapyCarePlus helps CAM practitioners on this?
1. Every client’s office visit record binds to the SOAP note module. So, it is very easy for CAM practitioners to add or edit the note.
2. It is very easy to find the all the history record by clients' last or first name.
3. You can print the record as PDF format if needed.
4. Once you add the self-care treatment section or lab result in the SOAP notes, it is also available for the client's MyChart. It's a great way to get connected with your clients at all times.
