    Even if Penelope by Social Solutions is useful for case noting and any other file management, coordination and reports, it is not user-friendly. It does not let you delete your mistakes easily, it does not let you go back, and all the other issues mentioned, which are minor, added too much for a system that is supposed to support your work. However, some of the characteristics have been chosen by the system administrator and are not Penelope by Social Solutions's fault.

    As I said before, I couldn't see a lot of the features being good for someone who just runs their own single private practice (just themselves). The biggest feature for me is the ability to "oversee" all documentation as it's completed, and to be able to make sure we are "covered" in every area that documentation serves

    • Their initial walk through/demo - It's overwhelming
    • Not everyone will know how to use it right away like other larger EHR's. There is a small learning curve
    • Not great for single therapists, best for small-medium-medium large facilities

    Penelope is saving us so much time and providing us with much-needed consistent regular data tracking and documentation. It has been a game-changer for our organization and we should have had it years ago. It has allowed us to have an efficient organized system to use daily in our non-profit agency.

    Penelope has a lot of features and options which is one of the reasons why it is so great. With a lot of features also comes a lot of time to learn all of them. For someone who is part of the development and implementation process, it is a lot of learning to fully understand how everything works. This is good to know in advance when choosing a team to develop your database. The great thing about Penelope is that you can customize the features for each level of staff that will be using it so the staff only have access to the parts of Penelope that they need and will be using regularly. This makes the training process for staff a lot easier.

    Our support person with Penelope has been a dream to work with since day one. She is accommodating to our ever-changing schedule and has worked around us for training and Zoom meetings. She is always available via e-mail and is quick to respond to our many inquiries throughout the development and implementation process. Our Zoom meetings have been like talking to a long-time staff member. She explains things in a way that everyone can understand and will review with us as needed. She has been innovative in ways that Penelope can work for us and our needs and we have been so pleased with the support we have received.

    Be sure to have a good team of staff that will be on board with the training and will dedicate time and energy to the process. You want to have people who are motivated and excited about the new program that you are investing in.

    Penelope is more controlled, well designed, and easy to use. We like that Penelope has some structure to it while having a decent amount of opportunities to be configurable to our own specific needs. Our staff finds Penelope easy to navigate and enter their data into the system in a reliable and easy way. We valued that at the time of purchase, Penelope was a Canadian company that understood our specific needs as a Canadian nonprofit.

    I just felt it was a good balance of being "down to earth" but extremely capable. It seemed like a product designed from the ground up, from people who have actually dealt with the challenges of using technology within a facility, rather than from a computer expert who tried to learn about our application and apply typical solutions that don't work as well as they thought

    Return on Investment
    Social Solutions
    • Created the need to hire temps to correct data incorrectly entered based on a poor initial setup.
    • Frustrated staff to the point many stopped entering services that were essential for receiving funding.
    • Gave me an excellent understanding of what happens when core functions are lacking.

    • Quality outcomes measurement for insurance rate increases
    • Therapists that are great with clients, are also now great with documentation (AI tool)
    • I don't have to "hunt" through documentation to make sure everything is completed on time.
    • I don't have to explain a bunch of hidden costs to our executive team.
