TheraNest is THER-rific!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Electronic medical record for client therapy session notes (SOAP notes), assessment reports, and Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSPs). We also use it to schedule and manage appointments, track cancellations, and code each appointment for billing. Our entire organization, Radiant Kids Therapy, utilizes TheraNest - from treating clinicians to clerical staff. Clinicians also use the TheraNest app to complete therapy documentation during home visits.
Pros
- Well-organized layout
- Syncs to Google Calendar
- User friendly
Cons
- Make it easier to see if a note is linked to an appointment
- More options for making employee availability blocks
- Synced appointments still show up after client is archived
Likelihood to Recommend
TheraNest is appropriate for clinical practice and seems well-suited for providing speech-language and other allied health services. Without firsthand experience billing, it is difficult to provide input regarding the ease of billing with this software. I have yet to see how TheraNest would work for clients with multiple insurance types. I trialed the TheraNest video conferencing near the beginning of 2020 (start of global pandemic), but the feature had glitches and I have since discontinued use of this feature.
