Essential Systems for Private Practice Success
In this episode of 'The Wise Practice Podcast,' Whitney Owens is joined by David Sturgis, a licensed professional counselor and business owner from Marietta, Georgia. They discuss the crucial systems that every private practice owner should have, from the significance of professional websites to the importance of using compliant email platforms like Google Workspace. They highlight the efficiency of electronic health records (EHRs) and explain the relevance of financial management systems like QuickBooks. Furthermore, they underline the necessity of having a dedicated professional phone line with encryption for patient communication. They also touch upon the insurance program offered by Alma.
