Digichart EMR
Valdosta Women’s Health Center, PC is a busy two-physician practice that was established in 1993. Management decided to implement an EMR in 2005 and a full time Microsoft Certified technician was hired to research and launch the EMR. A server-based EMR was purchased and installed, and chaos resulted. The EMR (Not digiChart) was immature and template-driven, and it had issues revery day that required contacting the vendor for support. The so-called technical support involved submitting a trouble ticket email that took up to 14 days allowed to correct. It took 24 clicks of the mouse for the physicians to sign off on a normal pap smear. Updates were offered at more cost. Our IT guy quit in despair. Management decided to abandon the old EMR and migrate to digiChart in 2007. The migration was painless and quick. We have never looked back. digiChart was designed by OB-GYNs for OB-GYNs, not by computer geeks. It is intuitive. Support personnel are friendly and quick to respond via a telephone call or email. User meetings attended were very helpful. The physicians love digiChart, and two other local OB-GYNs also moved their EMR to digiChart after seeing digiChart in action at the hospital. The antepartum record is instantly recognized nationwide, and several physicians have called our office to ask which EMR we use to produce the ACOG formatted antepartum record. digiChart is not perfect; nothing is. digiChart has grown and experienced growing pains. One episode involved slowness of operation that was challenging, but it's now corrected. You get what you expect, and the providers at VWHC expect digiChart to run smooth and quick - and digiChart meets or exceeds expectations nearly every time.
CONSUpgrades are tough. But, it appears as though digiChart is following the MU lead, which is a challenge in and of itself

10 years of using Digichart
Support is timely and good. They do close at 4 pm Pacific time so if anything happens after that I have to wait until the next day.
PROSACOG flowsheet built in, patient information flows easily from one visit to the next, drag and drop MDM is helpful, good task bar.
CONSDoesn't keep up with current operating systems. We are two generations behind Windows 10 (using Windows 7 Pro) so for providers who like to use tablets, it is difficult to view the patient information. Also, the patient portal is very poor and needs work.

Quirky software
Don't ever believe anyone who speaks in glowing terms about digiChart. It is cheap and easy to learn, but frequently very annoying to use. I finally got fed up with all the problems with digiChart and switched to Greenway-more expensive and more complicated, but much better. Switching from one EMR to another a real pain, but never regretted. Do not buy digiChart-you will regret it.
PROSEasy to learn and less expensive that some of the other EMRS. Less input required to finish chart so can work through patients faster
CONSFrequent crashes; frequently slow to respond, especially mid-afternoon; frequent compatibility issues with updates. Less input means less information available when you recall chart.

Needs Improvement
Updates don’t seem to change anything for the better.
PROSGeared toward ob/Gyn, has all the necessary components for proper documentation. Up to date for ICD-10.
CONSFrequently freezes/kicks user out. Often has prepopulated answers that neither pt or MD has entered and cannot be removed. Often we enter data in one section and it’s all erased when you move on to the next section. Always runs slow. Bad user interface on patient portal. Time stamps are not in local time, makes documentation problematic.

Very slow software. Many patient complaints about portal difficulties.
Have used this software for over 10 years, hope it improves so that I can recommend to other OB-GYN's.
PROSPicture of patient on encounter, and specific OB-GYN focus of the program. Web-based interface accessible at home/work.
CONSToo slow. Patient interface has many problems. Difficulty changing things when complaints are given. Difficulty complying with government regulations as required by law.

Latency and functionality
The physicians like the OB flow chart and the ease in seeing everything in one spot. The clinical reminders are also a favorite
CONSLatency issues hamper efficiency, the patient portal is not functional and information disappears after it is entered into the portal. We have many complaints about the patient portal.

EHR Incentives and CDR
Most tasks are easy to accomplish. The reports for EHR are very helpful. It is, most days, very easy to use and user friendly.
CONSOur CCDR does not work. I have had 2 work requests that have not been resolved. One was closed without correspondence or fix. Wish the tracking reports were available without additional cost. The patient portal is a chore for most patients and does not seem to work with other browsers (google, Mozilla). Patients would like to see the portal available on phones.

This system is not worth it. Look elsewhere.
The attractive features of the system is that it was designed by Ob/Gyn's for Ob/GYN's. Initially the system worked well.
CONSVery slow. Every time there is upgrade the system goes out of wack for a long time. It seems like the system administrators are overwhelmed by the government's new rules and regulations.

Digi Chart the 7 year itch
The advantage of using digi chart in our office is that it is an obstetric and gynecologic specific program.
CONSA major disadvantage is the continued smart application errors, getting kicked out of the program and overall slowness.

We are in misery
Looks good at first but then is awful. No upgrades over years. We have awesome data and it is as slow as Christmas.
CONSHave had for over seven years and has progressively worsened. Changing to eCW but Digi would not give us a format of our electronic information that we could translate to a new system. They have us over a barrel. Run!

Increasingly disappointing
Would never ever recommend this product.
PROSOB flowsheet is almost workable. I am struggling to think about the things I can complement in this overall abomination of an EHR
CONSCrashes multiple times per day. Support is poor at best. Functionality and UX is horrible. Search engine may be the worst I have seen.

Great Product!
Consistent and effective
PROSThis is an OB/GYN specific program that uses ACOG forms as well. This makes the program one of a kind. The medical records are seamless and ease to follow.
CONSThere’s a learning curve, but that’s with any EHR. The support team is always helpful in assisting when necessary.

DIGICHART REview
Easy to use. User trained on site. lots of functionality but not much personalization. web based for use anywhere.
CONSAfter the merger, there seems to be a "hold" on product enhancements needed. The patient portal isn't great or as good as other practices that I have used.

Expense EMR for OBGYN that pales in function to other less expensive options
This is the second practice that uses Digichart. They mistakenly believe it to be the only OBGYN directed software. Not so. Expensive to license and keep. Mediocre but easy to learn interface. does print out OB forms in ACOG format. Very slow interface especially in the early pm. Customer support is almost nonexistent. Written only to work on Windows platform but even then only works well with IE version 5. it's 2016. really? Really crappy patient portal with medical questions to hard to understand for the layperson. Nonexistent mobile platform. Cannot use mobile devices such as iPads. When I looked at other competitors, not only were they cheaper but had way more functions and easier to use.
PROSEasy interface to learn.
CONSCost no fax capability no patient education horrible patient portal no mobile platform
