Why Practice Better is a Superior EHR Platform Compared to Charm :: Insights from an Innovation Consultant & Former Natural Health Clinic Operations Manager

Author :: Jess Marie, CVC, CAHC, INHC, RYT 🌻


Practice Better is the ultimate platform for health & wellness professionals seeking to revolutionize their practices. As an Innovation Consultant, I’m here to support, guide, and empower you to maximize the potential & benefits of the Practice Better platform to optimize your business.


In the rapidly evolving landscape of health & wellness, choosing the right electronic health record (EHR) platform is crucial for operational efficiency, client satisfaction, and overall clinic success. Having managed a natural health clinic in the past and now working as an Innovation Consultant, I’ve had firsthand experience with various EHR platforms. Among them, Practice Better stands out as a superior option compared to Charm EHR. Here’s why ::

i. User-Friendly Interface & Intuitive Design

One of the most significant advantages of Practice Better is its user-friendly interface. From my experience managing clinic operations, I understand how critical it is for an EHR platform to be easy to navigate. Practice Better excels in this area with an intuitive design that minimizes the learning curve for both practitioners & administrative staff. The seamless interface allows for quick access to essential functions, reducing the time spent on training & daily operations.

In contrast, Charm EHR, while functional, often feels cluttered and can be overwhelming for new users. The complexity can lead to longer onboarding times & potential errors, which can disrupt the workflow & negatively affect the quality of patient care.

II. Comprehensive Client Management

Practice Better offers a holistic approach to client management that aligns perfectly with the needs of natural, integrative, and holistic health-based practices. The platform integrates appointment scheduling, secure messaging, client records, and invoicing into an all-in-one cohesive system. This integration is invaluable for maintaining a streamlined workflow and ensuring that all aspects of client care are easily accessible & manageable.

Charm EHR, on the other hand, tends to focus more on ‘traditional’ medical practices. While it provides essential EHR functionalities, it lacks the depth & integration of wellness-specific tools that Practice Better offers. This makes Practice Better a more tailored solution for holistic & integrative health practices, specifically.

III. Customizable Features & Flexibility

One of the standout features of Practice Better is its high level of customization. As an Innovation Consultant, I emphasize the importance of flexibility in technology solutions to meet the unique needs of different practices. Practice Better allows practitioners to customize forms, workflows, and client communication strategies to align with their specific methodologies & preferences.

Charm EHR, although customizable to a degree, does not offer the same level of flexibility. The customization options in Practice Better ensure that practitioners can create a truly personalized experience for their clients, which is essential for fostering strong practitioner-client relationships and enhancing client outcomes.

iV. Holistic Health Integration

For practitioners in the natural health field, having an EHR that understands & supports holistic health is vital. Practice Better is designed with features that cater specifically to integrative & holistic health practices. It includes functionalities for dietary planning, supplement tracking, and wellness assessments, which are integral to holistic health management.

Charm EHR, primarily oriented towards conventional medical practices, lacks these specialized features. This makes it less suitable for practitioners who need tools that support a more comprehensive approach to health & wellness.

v. Client Engagement & Education

Practice Better excels in client engagement & education, offering tools that facilitate better communication & interaction with clients. Features such as telehealth, client portals, and educational resource sharing are seamlessly integrated into the platform. This enhances the client experience by providing them with easy access to their health information and resources, fostering a more collaborative approach to their health journey.

While Charm EHR offers some client engagement tools, they are not as robust or integrative as those in Practice Better. The emphasis on client education & engagement in Practice Better aligns with the holistic health philosophy of empowering clients to take an active role in their well-being.

vi. Support & Community

The support & community aspect of Practice Better is another reason it stands out. The platform offers excellent customer support and a vibrant community of practitioners who share insights, tips, and best practices. This sense of community is invaluable for continuous learning & improvement.

Charm EHR provides customer support, but it does not match the level of community engagement & collaborative support found in Practice Better. For practitioners who value peer support & continuous professional development, Practice Better offers a more enriching experience.


As someone with extensive experience in managing clinical operations and advising health professionals of all kinds on business innovation, I firmly believe that Practice Better offers a far superior platform compared to Charm EHR. Its user-friendly design, comprehensive client management, customizable features, holistic health integration, enhanced client engagement tools, and robust support community make it an ideal choice for practitioners in the natural health & wellness field.

Choosing the right EHR platform is a critical decision that can significantly impact the efficiency and success of a practice. Practice Better not only meets the unique needs of holistic health practitioners but also supports their mission of providing comprehensive, client-centered care.
