TherapyCRM

For Canadian practices outside Quebec

What EMR systems do occupational therapy clinics use?

Occupational therapy clinics mostly use EMR systems built for therapy or allied health practice rather than a physician EMR: software that keeps treatment plans, assessments, SOAP-style notes and goal data beside scheduling, home programs and billing. Pediatric OT clinics also need the system to book shared rooms and equipment, such as a sensory gym, without double-booking.

Fictional worked example.

What to look for in an OT EMR

Test each point with a fictional child before entering real client information.

  • Goals written around participation in daily activities, with earlier plan versions kept when the plan changes.
  • Notes that start from the session observations and are reviewed before they are published or signed.
  • Room and equipment booking with conflict checks across clinicians and locations.
  • Home programs the family can see and log, with reminders.
  • Record export, access by role, and a clear answer on whether it submits insurance claims.

Worked example: one sensory room, two therapists

Two fictional occupational therapists book the same sensory room and swing at 3 p.m. on Tuesdays. A system that treats rooms and equipment as bookable resources flags the conflict when the second recurring series is created. The coordinator moves one series, then checks which dates were created and which were skipped. Run this test in every demo, because a calendar that books only people cannot catch it.

Where TherapyCRM fits

TherapyCRM is occupational therapy practice management software with a clinical record, for clinics in Canada outside Quebec. Rooms and equipment are bookable resources at each branch with conflict rules, goals in the library can carry interventions and linked equipment, Session Runner records performance and prompt level against each goal online or offline, SOAP-style notes move through review and publication, and guardians log home programs in the portal. It is not a physician EMR, has no EMR certification and does not submit insurance or government claims.
