470. EHR’s for Testing Psychologists: Owl (Basics)

Would you rather read the transcript? Click here. Hey everyone! Given all the questions about EHR’s (electronic health records) in the Facebook Community and among my coaching clients, I wanted to take a few episodes to dive in to some of the major players in the EHR space. Each of these reviews will focus primarily on the testing-specific aspects of each EHR, though I’ll also do an overview of non-testing features that are important.  For the FULL review experience, check out the accompanying video on the Testing Psychologist YouTube channel. Enjoy! Owl Practice is the star EHR for today. It’s a relatively new EHR that’s getting a lot of great reviews. Here’s how my review broke down: Pros: * Free trial, no credit card required, with customer support * Daily email series to onboard, plus a dedicated practice setup consultant * Set your availability and services/fees right up front during onboarding * Competitive pricing * Inclusive language * Waitlist feature built in Cons: * Language: “therapist” * Calendar and other screens take more time to load than I’d like * Can’t customize reminders based on appointment type * Note customization is clunky * Couldn’t figure out how to bill add-on codes or additional units Takeaway: assuming that you can bill for add-on codes and multiple units easily, I would certainly consider Owl as an EHR. There are some nitpicky problems, but it’s a viable solution with a great price point.
