Therapy Partner is another dated looking EMR that includes, progress notes, scheduling/calendars, billing features, insurance ready statements, and more. It does everything a standard EMR can and should do in and is relatively cheaper than its other competitors.

Therapy Partner offers a fair amount of data options tailored to the needs of therapy practices. Users can record and access detailed patient information, including demographics, medical history, treatment plans, and progress notes. The software also supports scheduling data, allowing for efficient management of appointments and therapist availability. Additionally, Therapy Partner includes billing data, tracking payments, insurance claims, and financial reports.

There are quite a few well structured reports in Therapy Partner, although it is a bit slow to generate them. These range from the typical practice and billing statements, to more detailed items such as a report for direct deposits, unsigned notes, outstanding balances.

While there are many reports with great data, they each so specific that it’s very hard to look at two related things at the same time. Additionally, no matter how many reports they have available, the next point makes them almost worthless for analysis.

While Therapy Partner is a cheaper alternative to the other more popular EMR’s, for data analysis it is one of the absolute worst choices. This is due purely to the fact that you can’t export the data as an Excel file which is the cornerstone of any analysis. Hopefully they are able to fix this in the future but for now I’m stuck writing lines of python to get this seemingly available data into a format I can use.

This EMR did teach me how to be more resourceful and now I am confident that no matter how antiquated the software, I can get the data I need to make beautiful, insightful dashboards.
