AdvancedPM, by AdvancedMD vs. doxy.me

AdvancedMD is appropriate for businesses that desire carte blanche access to the data contained in their entity's database. This is a great system for companies that are data/analytics driven. Unfortunately, the main drawback of the system (inability to accurately track deposit dates of payments) is a CRUCIAL FLAW. If a business is interested in a SIMPLE monthly reconciliation to their bank account, you will struggle with AdvancedMD.

The audio functionality on [doxy.me] is chronically very poor and it lacks screen sharing, so I would never recommend it as a primary telehealth platform, but I highly recommend the free BAA version as an affordable backup telehealth platform should one's primary platform fail.

• Detailed Aging reports very easy to follow and helpful in our business.
• Navigation around appointment scheduler is excellent.
• Creating custom templates with AMD convenient.
• Best part--when system is slow, I can instantly send feedback on it, and see results soon!

• Just recently we had an incident in which none of our employees could access the training.advancemd.com training materials. After extensive trouble shooting it was determined the issue was not with the local network, PC configuration, or firewalling. The AdvanceMD support personnel were not empowered to escalate this case as it should have been. Ultimately a correction in the server configuration for the training materials cleared up the issue, but not with assistance from Tier 1 support personnel.
• Integration with the scanners can be problematic and has been a headache. Even with the Fujitsu scanners, the best in the business, we had challenges and found that some of the Tier 1 support staff were not trained or did not have access to the necessary documentation to fix the issue. The issues were eventually resolved but not without time lost in the process.

• Speaker and microphone defaults and settings easily go wrong and result in one person not hearing the other person, and adjusting the audio in/out settings is not intuitive, nor does even making every possible adjustment always result in bringing back sound.
• Sometimes all parties can hear each other, but one party's voice is chronically session after session so warped and warbled we have to mute the Doxy audio and call each other on the phone for session audio.
• If a user is accessing [doxy.me] on a phone, briefly switching to another app then switching back to the Doxy screen completely messes up the audio.
• [doxy.me] lacks a screen sharing option which is regrettable, because screen sharing is an integral part of my therapy practice to work on worksheets together with clients in-session.

Overall, I think ADP AdvancedMD is very user friendly and constantly improves as new releases come out.

I've only reached out a couple of times and after being bounced around a few times I simply asked for our internal team to look into the particular question I had. I believe they had some turnover at the time but my experience wasn't great.

I have been through implementation of ADP AdvancedMD at other companies and it went smoothly

The only benefit (which ended up being false for us) was the price point. By theory, it is capable of quite a lot, but sadly we never got that far to even be able to try it. We are just paying for a system we are 100% unable to utilize. We ended up staying with our current EHR and will reevaluate it down the road. Definitely will never seek AdvancedMD again.

My group practice uses Zoom through its electronic health record, which is absolutely higher quality than [doxy.me], due to reliable audio functionality and screen sharing capability. However, [doxy.me] free BAA version is a great benefit to have as an affordable backup. Always best practice to have a backup in the event of technology failure.

• The automated connection to our EHR has greatly improved our analytic capabilities.
• Intuitive and efficient interfaces allows us to get new staff up to speed quickly.
