Why Acupuncturists choose Happy Charting over Jane App
Our mission at Happy Charting is to help acupuncturists run efficient practices by saving time, balancing their growing practice with our affordable software and focusing on their patient’s needs.
Large acupuncture practices commonly use JaneApp, as a one-stop shop. However, the reality is it comes at a cost that solo practitioners, part-time, community or smaller practices cannot afford.
Happy Charting is incredibly easy to use and doesn’t have all the bells & whistles.
Reason #1: Simple
Happy Charting is light on the wallet, so you can spend your savings elsewhere.
Reason #2: Affordable
Happy Charting saves you 100s of hours every year, on charting.
Reason #3: Time-Saving
You own your own data. We’ll never abuse your patients’ health information.
Reason #4: Trustworthy
