Colib vs TM3

Colib is a bilingual practice management and electronic medical record platform for Canadian therapists and health and wellness practitioners. Its calendar supports recurring appointments, room management, online booking, waitlists, and two-way Google Calendar and Outlook sync. Practitioners can create or upload intake forms, collect electronic signatures, and keep client files with notes, documents, family relationships, goals, and scores. AI can prepare note drafts from telehealth sessions or in-person recordings using templates such as SOAP, DAP, BIRP, and GIRP; practitioners review and sign each draft. Browser-based video sessions work on computers, phones, or tablets without a download and support recording, screen sharing, waiting rooms, transcripts, and messaging. Billing tools include invoices, online payments, Interac e-Transfer reconciliation, split payments, and QuickBooks invoice export. Colib says databases and files are hosted in AWS Canada, with encryption protections, and that it helps practices address several Canadian privacy obligations. It cautions that compliance also depends on each practice’s own policies and practices. Practitioner costs $75 CAD per month, billed month-to-month.

TM3 is a paid clinic management system for healthcare practitioners, available through web and Windows applications. Its online booking portal lets patients select an appointment type, location, practitioner and time. Clinics can set booking windows, limit future bookings per patient, and configure online registrations as provisional until staff verify, link or remove them. The Telehealth module supports virtual consultations over a secure internet connection; consultations are not recorded or stored. Zoom can be linked for telehealth appointments and classes, with one Zoom user per practitioner and vice versa. Automations create follow-up tasks or communications after cancellations and missed appointments, and can trigger post-discharge forms and treatment reviews. Automations cost £0.05 ex VAT, €0.06, or $0.10 AUD ex GST per action. TM3 includes treatment notes, appointment reminders, insurance billing, reporting, multi-location management and access to client details, schedules, communications and payments on laptops, tablets or mobiles.
