We are so excited to welcome Practice Better to Rupa Health! We had a great conversation with the Practice Better team to learn more about the company and how their Electronic Health Record Platform can benefit integrative healthcare practitioners.

Introducing Practice Better!

We are so happy to partner with you! Can you give us a little insight into how Practice Better started?

Practice Better started when our CEO, Nathalie Garcia, graduated as a nutritionist and found herself managing a lot of administrative work on top of client visits. Determined to find a better solution to disorganized, paper-based charting and back-and-forth email scheduling, she asked her partner, a software developer, to help her build a platform that could help organize her practice. And thus, Practice Better was born!

Based in Toronto, Canada, Practice Better has effectively integrated and automated many of the time-consuming administrative tasks of being a health and wellness professional, and the word caught on. People across the globe started signing up. The rest is history.

Today, Nathalie says the Practice Better Team is so dedicated to their mission of helping practitioners that the only thing that divides them is whether pineapple belongs on pizza - the jury’s still out on that one!

That’s an amazing founder’s story! I love that Nathalie was able to use her experience as a practitioner to create something so great!

Can You Give Us a Brief Introduction to Practice Better?

Practice Better is a complete practice management platform created specifically for health and wellness professionals. Co-founded in 2016 by former Holistic Nutritionist Nathalie Garcia, in need of streamlining her own workflow, Practice Better helps thousands of practitioners and health coaches spend less time on administrative work and more time helping clients work towards their health goals. Integrations save time on admin work so practitioners can focus on things that matter. Rupa and Practice Better are a powerful combination for Health and Wellness practitioners who want to scale their practices while offering high-end services and protecting their personal time.

What are The Most Popular Features on Your EHR That You Want to Highlight?

Practice Better is a HIPAA and GDPR compliant practice management platform. Practice Better is particularly useful for practitioners who want to scale their practices beyond 1-to-1 services and offer programs and course content. Practitioners can package their offerings to include automated educational content with personalized 1:1 visits, including functional assessments such as labwork facilitated by our new Rupa Health Integration. The result is a personalized experience for the client without burnout from the professional.

The Practice Better Platform Provides:

  • Scheduling & Bookings
  • Client Communication tools & Automations
  • Billings & Payments
  • HIPAA-compliant Telehealth & Messaging
  • A Mobile App - for practitioners and their clients
  • Programs and Courses
  • Client Accountability & Tracking tools
  • Rupa Health Integration

What Type of Practitioners Can Benefit From your EHR?

Practice Better’s practitioners are health and wellness professionals across the globe, but the professionals who might find this integration most beneficial are those who can order labs, such as dieticians, naturopathic doctors, some functional medicine practitioners, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, etc. Practitioners who want to enhance their 1:1 client experience, supplementing with evergreen, group, or fixed-date programs, will appreciate the customizable features Practice Better offers.

How Will the Integration Between Practice Better and Rupa Health Help Your Clients?

Practitioners can view, track, and share lab results from the PB platform, keeping client data in one highly organized place.

No more rifling around through files and notes! Seamlessly integrate lab results within client notes or under the “labs” section to quickly and easily visualize a client’s data.

Practitioners can choose to share results with clients to view their results within the PB portal. Customize what you want your client to see, when, and where, so you can engage your clients in their health plans.

Annotate labs for additional notes to practitioner or client, so client communication is clear, seamless, and owned by you.

Like all PB’s integrations, it is easy to set up and use and saves hours of administrative work each week entering lab results because we do it for you!

What Are The Steps if a Practitioner Wants to Switch to Practice Better?
