Whats wrong with notepads and filing cabinets?

Therapists and psychotherapists have used notepads and locked filing cabinets for decades.  There are some obvious advantages to this system as its worked well for a long time.  Its easy, it doesnt require anything other than pads of paper and a sturdy locked file cabinet.  Lets look at the disadvantages though:

1. Natural Disasters.  Every 90 seconds, there is a structure fire - what if it was your office? Do you have copies of your important files?  Do you have the phone numbers, credit card numbers, and insurance information of all your clients?  How much work would it be to get your practice running smoothly again?  Online therapist practice management software solutions eliminate this problem.
2. Convienience. What if you want to work on session notes and need information from your filling cabinet to accomplish this but you are miles away from your office?  With some online practice management software solutions you can schedule appointments, process credit cards, and view treatment histories anywhere you go.
3. HIPAA.  What if the worst nightmare happens, what if your office is broken into?  Locked filing cabinets are notoriously easy to break into.  You might have a good lock but a determined thief will just carry away your entire filing cabinet.  Online therapist practice management software solutions are much more secure.
4. Time.  Paper pads and filing cabinets take a lot of time.  Online therapist practice management software solutions can save you 3hours a week because of their integrated nature.

Here is an example of a good online therapist practice management solution.
