When I first started out, my partner (also a speech therapist) and I did everything on a shoestring budget. As we grew, we knew our paper and pencil systems couldn\u2019t sustain us so we jumped into using an EMR, hoping it would help us grow as a practice. Between the subscription costs, credit card fees, and \u201chidden\u201d fees, we were spending more than $17,000 every year for an EMR that offered more features than we\u2019d ever need to use (or have time to learn). And as a small practice, we could no longer justify the high cost. Enter, Cory.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>I (Cory) am an innovative engineer with a history of applying creative solutions to challenging problems. So I stepped in to create something designed for solo and group practitioners who couldn\u2019t justify purchasing an EMR but needed to leverage its ability to improve patient outcomes and give practitioners the ability to step away from the office.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca45ba4 e-con-full e-flex e-con
