"We've talked with thousands of practice owners, and hiring or retaining therapists is far and away the issue we hear about most. Hopefully, these findings can help practice owners identify areas for improvement in their own practice and provider experience. We fully believe in a positive future for this industry and want to stir conversations that will help us grow toward it together. Our goal is to make the field more sustainable and rewarding so patients can continue to receive this critical healthcare from happy, healthy clinicians." - Adam Baliatico, Prompt EMR co-founder and COO.
