Booking therapists with a room

Answered

Alicia Smart

At our center we have more therapists than rooms—each therapist works part time. Following this, to maximize the use of our facility  we need a way for the booking widget to know not only when a therapist is available but ALSO when a room is available.

It appears that SimplePractice does not support this use case. Is that correct? If so, are there any workarounds?

    We have been using Simple Practice only for a few months. We are on the Professional Plan with 9 counselors. As we are all moving back into the office for primarily face-to-face sessions, this is becoming such an important issue for us that we are already considering switching to other options that have "room booking" as a standard feature. Can you please update us on the progress of adding this feature? Thank you.

    Would like to know if there is any progress on working with booking rooms. We also have multiple part time therapist for only a few rooms. Since they have access to their own calendars only, they don't know if a room is booked or not. This is an issue if 2 people book the same room at the same time. Can Simple Practice please address this issue? Thank you.

    We  have requested the same feature in the past as our group practice operates the same way. Would be so helpful. Right now we have to utilize 2 calendars for every appointment, one in SP and google to account for the room booking.

    Hi Alicia, I'd be happy to help. One way that some of our customers choose to approach room booking is adding each room in the facility as an Office Location under My Account > Settings > Practice Details.

    Thanks - this is an issue for us too. Is this a feature that is scheduled for build out?

    Hi Jennifer, while we don't have immediate plans to add room booking to SimplePractice, we're continually working to add new features to our platform based on feedback from our customers. Thanks for sharing that this would be helpful for your practice.

    I would love to see room booking become a priority.  I have tried to use the location in within the settings, but seems more difficult than it needs to be, due to the location showing up on the CPMS form.  Any easy suggestions ...

    Hi Jessica, you should be able to add multiple rooms with the same address, so insurance billing is unaffected. I'm happy to share that room booking is a planned enhancement - you can subscribe to updates on our team's progress on this potential new feature here: https://simplepractice.uservoice.com/forums/918553/suggestions/36552643

    Can you update the forum that you reference with a link as to the status of this feature.   Many therapists have been asking for an update and we would like one as well.  Thanks in advance!

    Update on this feature, please.   About 2 years ago, SimplePractice mentioned they were working on this feature (see comment below).

    I attempted to go to the subscribe link to see for team's progress on this feature and it has been removed.   This feature is something users really need (it appears to be an ask not only in this community posting but also appears in multiple other community postings under different titles) like trying to address double booking the same room.  When do you expect to have this feature?  It not only will help your users stay with you given recent increases in price structure but you likely will be able to target more center group practices with this new feature as a reason to move to your platform.
