💙 Today’s episode is sponsored by Jane, a clinic management software and EMR.
Your evenings and weekends should be spent with loved ones, not chasing down your patients and clients for payment. That’s why Jane has designed a secure payment solution that helps reduce the amount of time you spend manually following up with patients.
Patients can save their credit card details and insurance policy information securely through your intake form, which can then be conveniently processed after your time together.
And, if they’ve got an outstanding balance, you can send a payment request email or SMS that allows your patients to pay off their balance online from the comfort of their homes.
To see how Jane can help you reclaim your after-work hours, click here to book a personalized demo. Or, if you’re ready to get started, you can use the code ACUSCHOOL1MO at the time of sign-up for a 1-month grace period applied to your new account.

Welcome back! In this solo episode, I share my top five tips to make switching EHRs smooth and easy. I also share (finally!) why I decided to switch to Jane.
I switched to Jane a year ago and I've been meaning to share this episode for ages. At first I wanted to spend some time in Jane, maybe four months, to get used to it, before creating this episode.
Times flies and suddenly it's been a year! So this episode is long overdue from me. By now I'm very comfortable in Jane and I have lots of thoughts for you.
SHOW NOTES:
💙 Naturally, this episode is sponsored by Jane!
The team at Jane understands that clocking out from the clinic doesn’t always mean you’re clocking out for the day. Instead, it’s often the start of charting long into the evening.
With time-saving charting features, like custom smart narratives, chart duplication, and dictation (dictation, you guys!), Jane helps you finish charting your patient or client notes during work hours, not after hours.
And, to save you even more time, you have access to Jane’s Chart Template Library that’s fully stocked with pre-made templates that have been generously shared by practitioners in the community. You can even customize them further with charting tools, like side-by-side photos, checkboxes, and range scales.
To see how Jane can help you free up your evenings from admin tasks, head to meet.jane.app/more-time to book a personalized demo. But, if you’re ready to get started, you can use the code ACUSCHOOL1MO at the time of sign-up for a 1-month grace period applied to your new account.

I hope you find this episode as fun and fascinating as I did, and feel inspired to pursue your biggest dreams, no matter how impossible they might seem at first.
SHOW NOTES:
This episode is sponsored by The Business of Practice Conference, hosted this year in Melbourne, Australia.
I know Australia is quite a big trip for those of us in the US but I hope you’ll consider joining us. I’m honored to be the international keynote speaker, and I’m joined by eight other practicing acupuncturists who are experts in business growth, social media, practice management, building a brand, and much more.
It’s going to be an energizing weekend and the goal is for you to leave feeling inspired and prepared to build a practice that’s aligned with your own definition of success.
The early bird ticket price of $800 Australian ends on June 30th. With the current exchange rate that’s about $530 US. Grab your reduced-price ticket while you can.
Plus I’ll be staying an extra half day the Monday after the conference to teach Acupuncture Marketing School in person. It’s the first time I’m teaching this coursework in person and it’s going to be a small group, so you’ll get plenty of time to ask questions and get feedback. I am really looking forward to it.
Come and join us and your like-minded colleagues for a great weekend of learning, expansion and networking!

💙 Today’s episode is sponsored by Jane, your all-in-one, HIPAA-compliant patient management software.
The team at Jane recognizes how hard you work to support your patients and they aim to do the same for you.
That’s why Jane offers unlimited phone, email, and live chat support with every subscription.
I recommend booking a personalized 1-on-1 demo with a member of their team. It's a great way to make sure Jane will be the right fit for you and your practice and to see Jane's features in action.
And Jane even offers a free data import, an Account Setup Consultation, and online training tools to help set you up for success. This is one of the things that sold me on Jane - that I would not have import all that data myself.
To get started, head over to jane.app/start. Their team would love to connect with you to see how Jane could help you and your practice. You can also use the code ACUSCHOOL1MO at the time of sign-up for a 1-month grace period applied to your new account.
