Given all the questions about EHR’s (electronic health records) in the Facebook Community and among my coaching clients, I wanted to take a few episodes to dive in to some of the major players in the EHR space. Each of these reviews will focus primarily on the testing-specific aspects of each EHR, though I’ll also do an overview of non-testing features that are important.  For the FULL review experience, check out the accompanying video on the Testing Psychologist YouTube channel. Enjoy! TheraNest is the star EHR for today. Here’s how the review broke down: Pros: Easy to look atCan change the colors of appointmentsLots of detailed demographic choices regarding gender identity, pronouns, etc.Protection of client privacy via checkboxesAppointments can be moved around by clicking and dragging Cons: Navigation is not intuitive at allCould not find the agenda to write notesNo obvious way to write custom session notes for testing appointmentsBilling codes were easy to enter but hard to figure out how to apply to appointments Verdict: It would take a lot of persuasion and coaching for me to consider using this as my EHR. The lack of testing-friendliness is pretty much a dealbreaker.

As I reflected on this year in preparation for recording this episode, it truly feels like January 2020 happened at least three million years ago. There has been incredible loss for many of us…personal, professional, emotional, spiritual. The list could go on. But I also know that many of us found ways to thrive during this time, again both personally and professionally. I saw the Facebook Community come together to (largely) support one another and work through a lot of disagreements as we negotiated how to navigate the COVID shutdown. Many practices have discovered new ways of doing business that may change things permanently going forward. However this year turned out for you, I hope that you’re ending in a place of being centered, grounded, and excited for the coming year. The podcast has grown a lot over the course of this year as well. I doubled down and started offering two episodes a week starting in June. The Masterclass series launched to rave reviews and will continue into 2021. I experimented with book reviews and other formats. I was also fortunate to connect with PAR, an amazing test publisher, to test-drive podcast sponsorship. I’m looking forward to continuing to partner with them and others so that I can keep bringing great content each week. You’ll also continue to see new podcast formats – as always let me know what works and doesn’t work And now, on to the best episodes of 2020! Here they are: Remote Administration of the WISC-V and KTEA-III w/ Dr. Susie RaifordAutism in Girls and Women w/ Dr. Donna HendersonAPA Guidance for Tele-Assessment w/ Dr. Jordan WrightConsiderations & Concerns of Remote Assessment w/ Daniel McFadden & Dr. Carrie Champ Morera from PAR Inc.The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) w/ Dr. Katherine Jonas Featured Resource I am honored to partner with PAR for the next few months to bring you featured items from their catalog!

At the training, they mentioned that they were working on some technology to help with assessment. Any of you long time podcast listeners know that I LOVE technology…so I was instantly interested and probably scared them with my enthusiasm. Fast forward two years, and their assessment tool is the real deal. If you’re interested in a different way to assess ASD symptoms that focuses heavily on “real life” usability, you’ll want to catch this one. Here are just a few things we cover in the discussion: The origin of their company and the softwareResearch on the assessment toolHow CADE is different than other tools out thereRemote assessment of ASDFuture directions for the software Cool Things Mentioned Assessment of Autism Spectrum Disorder by Dr. Kroncke, Dr. Willard, and Dr. Helena Huckabee (affiliate link)CADECLEAR Child PsychologyIntakeQTELE-ASD-PEDS out of VanderbiltStartup of the Year video Featured Resource I am honored to partner with PAR for the next few months to bring you featured items from their catalog!

I don’t usually get into the whole “do the contrived action on the holiday” thing (just ask my wife about Valentine’s Day). I almost released a typical episode (part 1 of my upcoming EHR review series!) but figured that out of all years to jump on the gratitude bandwagon, this was the one. For many folks, this has been an absolutely devastating year. People lost their family members, their businesses, and in some cases their lives. I am fortunate to have all of those things intact at this point, along with many other things, but I have a tendency to forget about that and dwell on the things that aren’t going well. Research would suggest that a gratitude practice is one simple thing that can help us stay positive and experience happiness. This episode is meant to honor all of us and the struggles of the year while also taking a little time to recognize what’s still going well. My hope is that you may also take a little time to reflect on even the smallest things that might be rays of light right now. Here’s my list (in no particular order and in no way comprehensive): The ability to work remotely and record outside in decent weatherAn objectively large amount of privilegeHealthy kids and parentsThe PPP loanNot having to score the WIAT-4 essay anymoreAn amazing staff that has weathered a crazy yearThe opportunity to grow and expand into a local pediatric practiceA Facebook community that is growing by the week, and growing safer for people to post vulnerable questionsStellar co-moderatorsMy virtual assistant who handles podcast publishingA coach who continues to help me work on controlling the ONLY thing I can truly control in a chaotic world: my own reactions and choices Featured Resource I am honored to partner with PAR for the next few months to bring you featured items from their catalog!

As you’ll hear Linda discuss, unconscious bias includes all of the implicit assumptions or beliefs about clients that we, as clinicians, bring to testing. This episode dovetails nicely with the episode on stereotype threat from a couple of months ago, presenting the other side of the coin – examiner beliefs rather than client beliefs. Here are just a few things that Linda and I discuss: Examples of implicit bias in testingBehavior as pathological vs symptomaticHow to tailor recommendations for different groupsThe role of racial trauma in our biases  Cool Things Mentioned Bennett developmental modelThe Steve FundJoy DeGruy’s Posttraumatic Slave Syndrome (affiliate link)Dr. Ken HardySimple PracticeMulticultural Assessment CommunityLinda’s trainings Featured Resource I am honored to partner with PAR for the next few months to bring you featured items from their catalog!
