Suggestion/Plea: Group Client Note and Group Appointment Option

Answered
Follow
Dr. Mel Jenkins-Fernández

SimplePracice PLEASE create an actual Group Client option (not add a bunch of individual clients in a time slot) with a one Group note for all participants that can individualized. This is the ONLY barrier (reason) keeping another contracting agency to TheraNest. TheraNest Group note option is excellent and is the only thing keeping them to it because it is incredibly not simple to navigate.

    The lack of group options may lead me to a different EHR platform.

    I have been hoping for 5 years now that someday there would be a note that would work for 3+ participants, so far I have been disappointed. PLEASE make this a priority or we will be moving to another system in the coming month.  I had used plenty of systems before that worked well with group notes, so far this is the only one I have had that does not work well with it.

     

    Thank you for taking the time and energy and fixing this and finding a solution.

     

    I am with you Debbie

    Any update on this? Group notes are an essential feature for mental health professionals.

    I need this feature as well.  I do on-site EAP visits for critical incidents and would like a way to document it.

    It has been Two years since this request for a Group progress note was submitted.  Please provide an update.  Anything.  Otherwise, you may lose a lot of customers...

    This is super important and would help with reducing workload. Any update? Is this still in the pipeline?

    Maybe SimplePractice doesn't pay attention to these things?  Its a must have at my end.

    Are there updates on this? I am currently using a trial of Simple Practice and this will be a must for me.

    • Further issues with Group Therapy Sessions Set-up in SimplePractice:
      • We were unable to access the group chart when we clicked the button "Add note" on the calendar at the top of the screen. It is usually highlighted in blue in the individual and couples charts. 
      • We are only able to locate the group chart when we searched for the group chart in the Simple Practice's search bar.
      • Once in the group chart, it doesn’t seem to have prepopulated past appointments in the group chart like it appears in the individual and couples charts.
      • We’re also not able to set up the location to a virtual location for the group appointment.
      • We are unable to access the group chart from the calendar when we click on the appointment. It is usually a hyperlink for the individual and couples charts. 
      • We are also unable to access the individual's note for the group appointment in the group chart. 
      • We would also like to have the ability to access each group member's individual chart in the group chart as a hyperlink.
