Why choose ProvenTherapy for your practice
You work mainly as a solo practitioner and want records, appointments, session notes, assessments and treatment plans connected in a desktop workspace. Keep your core records encrypted on your computer, continue clinical work offline and plan your costs with an annual euro-priced licence. Built-in backup and restore tools help you protect your practice history. Check the plan comparison for dictation, AI and automatic-backup availability.
When SimplePractice may suit you
A connected client experience or US insurance workflow is central to your practice. Its portal and integrated telehealth may matter more to you than local desktop working. Check the current feature details for your intended workflow.
Plan your move before switching
Identify the records you need and obtain your existing provider’s export. Share a description of the export format with ProvenTherapy support to plan which records Guided Import can bring across.
Guided Import maps client and appointment information, including session notes and source completion fields where supported. Support can help identify supported fields and any attachments, assessment history or vendor formats that need separate handling. Keep your source export and a recoverable backup. Historical completion is distinct from a new clinical review; confirm the imported result before relying on it.
