Records Management and Data Privacy
Your mental healthcare providers are required to do their best to keep your data secure. This includes the platforms and software that are used for every aspect of service provision. I have chosen Owl Practice practice management software to consolidate several aspects of my practice. Here are a few of the features of Owl Practice that help me meet your needs: online booking capabilities, scheduling, providing appointment reminders and receipts, and document storage.
Owl Practice is a HIPA and PIPEDA-compliant cloud-based software product created and managed within Canada (please link here for more information). It is important that your data reside on servers in Canada as a matter of HIPA, PIPEDA, and College compliance. Owl servers are located in Toronto and Montreal so you can be assured your client's practice data is securely stored in Canada and not subject to American law. Owl uses bank-level encryption (SSL) to encrypt all data that moves between the secure and dedicated servers and the device and browser on which I access the Owl Practice account. Owl Practice is a Canadian company working for Canadian mental health practitioners, run by Canadians.
