Integrated, highly customizable EMR/PM

I'm an urologist. Like any EMR/PM it has it's limitations and 'wish for' features that need to be updated - unfortunately EMR vendors have to devote a lot of time to developing/managing Medicare compliance with incentive / quality of care rules instead of focusing on useful features. in the big scheme of things, this EMR/practice management system does all you need it to do effectively and without major problems. Technical issues are rare and are immediately addressed. While I was concerned that there is no 24/7 customer service prior to signing with them, there is really no need for it (but they do have emergency response in case of problems though they don't advertise it).

Pros

Great US based customer support
No major bugs - well integrated with billing; full range of options
Highly customizable - it helps to be technically aware to take advantage of all the things that are possible to do with it.
Clean straightforward design
Fully integrated with faxing, billing/ERA, eRx, labs, patient reminders by phone/text, etc.

Cons

Some interfaces and features need to be updated to 2018 - minor issues mostly.
It's a flat design with no pop-up windows or tabs for different accounts; need to open separate windows for each patient.

MD

Overall very satisfied with this products & when compared, always found that we were ahead in functionality & low in cost compared to other system. Product paid for itself withing 1 yr of immplementation. Improved productivity by 50% by 2nd year.

Pros

Very cheap to run. 5 providers with 15 work stations in the office with complete EMR & billing system costs. Excellent support. Very conscios about practice cost. Exellent help in meeting meaningful use & other quality matrix.

Cons

1. Poor weekend support.
2. Updates are slow to come
3. Programming errors are slow to rectify.
4. Prescription writing has deteriorated recently, slow to improve functionality

Medent is the go to for Medical Offices

I work in a medical office & this is what we use. It helps with check in/out, keeping a rolling chart for our active & inactive patients. Ease of faxing reports to other offices and ease of print.

Pros

Ease of use for any medical office. Able to be paperless w/ chart feature, ease of check in/out and able to color code the chart feature to help find area's easier.

Cons

Not able to move a scanned in document from one chart field to another, example is if you scan in photo ID under the wrong chart field you have to error it out & then rescan. If there was a way to just "move it" this software would be perfect.

MEDENT PODIATRY

excellent experience

Pros

I ve used other EMR s and found Medent after a merger with a larger multi specialty group. I took me years of meaning-less use with Traknet and I struggled every day. When we merger with larger group I was so afraid of learning a new EMR. Medent has been very easy to use and very reliable. Customer service has been great and very responsive. I recommend Medent

Cons

learning the short cuts and over all learning a new emr

I have used different Softwares & Medent has been the most efficient, thorough & easy to use.

Pros

It makes EMR/EHR work seamlessly. From registering a patient to appointments to Superbills & reports each process works perfectly with each other.

Cons

We found that some reports that we needed were not available to help follow up on accounts receivables.

excellent EMR

IT IS VERY GOOD OVERALL BUT THERE ARE SOME FEATURES THAT SHOULD BE UPDATED

Pros

EASY TO USE
VERY UNDERSTANDING
MAKES WORK EASIER

Cons

THE USE OF CAPITAL LETTTERS
IMPORTING PICTURES SHOULD BE EASIER
AND MEDENT MOBILE NEEDS TO BE UPDATED AND HAVE MORE FEATURES

Medent

Pros

Ability to interface with the hospital. Ability to set up a patient portal for appointments and connections with patients.

Cons

This system seems to be way overpriced than other EMR/EHR systems. Customer service could be more responsive.

It was fairly user friendly and worked well in our office

Pros

Once the user became familiar with the program it was very easy to schedule, adjust and create user records relating to medical procedures.

Cons

There is a bit of a learning curve with this SW because there were so many features. Especially when you had to send procedure scripts to different facilities. This is an area for opportunity.

Easy to Use and Nice Flow

Pros

This software was much better than our previous Medical Mastermind. The ease of flowing from page to page and customization.

Cons

The thing I like least is that when you need customer support you need to wait for a call back which can be an inconvenience in an emergency situation or if you are in and out of the office.

Easy to use EMR software

Overall, I have had very few issues with Medent. I like the straight-forward format, but I do wish that there were some more advanced features.

Pros

Medent makes scheduling and managing medical records easy. I have not used billing features, so I cannot comment on that.

Cons

I wish there was a way to upload radiology studies from CDs into Medent. This would make accessing radiology studies so much easier for our doctors.
