[HumanSer] Seeking Information

Thanks for your feedback, Michael. I was unaware of this platform until someone at a community mental health center mentioned it to me as a substitute for meeting in-person given everyone's desire to be socially distanced.

Sincerely,

Cory McMahon

Corey,
	I tried this platform a couple of years ago and found the same thing.  I spoke wth the developers and they did not take the matter seriously.  There were some features that were accessible, but overall it was far too clumsy.
	I believe that accessibility issues are important.  In this case, I went with the platform that wanted my business and treated me as a valued customer.  I cannot stress enough the benefit of the integrated platform and the ease of the use of the Simple platform.  Time is money and I do not have enough of either!

Warmly,

Rev. Michael “Big Dog” Abell

This platform did not work well for me this morning. I was not able to find the "check-in" button in order to get into the virtual waiting room.

Sincerely,

Cory McMahon

Have any JAWS users had luck with Doxy.Me? I gave it a look yesterday and wasn't finding it to be as accessible as I'd hoped.

Thanks. Audrey

Good day.
 I know of some who have used Zoom.
 As far as I understand, y if you use Zoom, it is recommended that you draft a BAA that you share with your clients beforehand. You can Google Zoom BAA Hipaa compliance to get more info . I used to use SImple Practice but found accessibility issues, especially with my Mac. I reached out to the service without much response from their team. Also, if you use their telehealth, you have to pay an additional $10 per month. 
I use  a easy no bells or whistles platform called Doxy. It is free. The client does not have to download any software. YOu just send them a link.. they click on it, type in their name, and then click on connect. Super easy. It works on your computer or eve your iPhone. I tried VSEE, another free service, but it is not accessible with the MAc. I am not sure how it works with Jaws. SO, my recommendation would be to try out Doxy . It is easy, free, and easy for clients to use.
 BEst wishes,

James Alan Boehm. M.Ed, LPC-MHSP (Temp)

I am an independent contractor, and the practice with which I am affiliated has gone to a telehealth provider platform.  The practice is using Theralink.  I have had difficulty accessing some of the main features that I need to use.  Please let me know if any of you have found a program that is user friendly, especially the video conferencing feature.  You may inbox me, or send me an email with any information that you may have.
