Review:

SimplePractice is a complete practice management system specifically designed for small practices. The all-in-one cloud-based software includes scheduling, billing, medical records, and communication features that can be accessed on desktop computers and mobile devices.

As the name suggests, SimplePractice is an easy-to-use, baseline software with limited functionality when compared to brands like InSync or iPatientCare. For example, the software is not designed for specialty practices with a limited selection of templates and no integrations with external medical services; but it does come in at a fraction of the cost.

Highlights:

Paperless intakes.
Secure client portal.
Online appointment bookings.
Custom note templates.
Integrated online payments.
Secure messaging.
Add an unlimited number of clinicians.
Unlimited document storage.
Mobile app for iPhone and Android.

Shortcomings:

SimplePractice is a very basic EHR system that struggles to scale. It does not offer medical integrations and is not ideal for practices with specialties like OB/GYN, gynecology, or cardiology. While it can be used for multiple practices, it costs an additional $39.00 per month per additional clinician.

Reputation:

Reviews for SimplePractice are generally favorable with most clients commenting on the ease of use of the system. Some Capterra reviews mention that the calendar and billing functions could use a more intuitive interface and additional functionality.
