Group practices and institutes on RafaNest
November 7, 2026
RafaNest scales from one practitioner to a group practice through an institute account, which adds a layer of shared rooms, roles and reporting on top of each practitioner's own independent practice.
Becoming an institute
Upgrading to an institute is self-serve and starts with a 30-day free trial, so a group can try the shared features before committing.
Members, rooms and the room-grid dashboard
Practitioners join an institute by invite. Each practitioner still has their own calendar and patients, and the institute adds shared physical rooms on top, visible together on a room-grid dashboard that shows who is using which room and when.
Seats and roles
Each member holds a seat, clinician, front-desk, instructor or lean-practitioner, each scoped the way those roles are described in front-desk staff and the roles at your practice. An office-manager seat mirrors the owner's own access. Institutes can also build custom role templates for a shape none of the standard seats quite fit.
A manager's access is itself audited
When someone with broader access opens a member practitioner's chart, that access is written to a file access log, so oversight at an institute does not mean unlogged access to a member's patients.
A public team page
An institute gets a public Team page listing its practitioners, so a patient can see who is available before choosing who to book with.
Group classes
Classes can be offered as a single trial session or a monthly sign-up, with a waitlist when full, attendance taken by the instructor from their phone, a health declaration patients complete before their first class, and public sign-up with pay-by-link.
Room credits for lean practitioners
A lean practitioner who rents room time rather than running a full independent practice can buy room-credit packages through the institute.
Billing today
The 30-day trial to become an institute is self-serve, but ongoing per-seat institute billing is handled by contacting RafaNest directly rather than through a self-serve plan page, so talk to us once your trial is ending and you want to continue.
